The flag of Mexico was adopted in the 1821. The basic design is taken from the French Tricolor flag and the red, white and green are the colors of the national liberation army of Mexico (it's similar to the historyof italian flag). The coat of arms (centered) in the white band is the badge of Mexico City, the country's capital. There is an eagle, and it is said that an Aztec legend told them to build their new city on the exact spot where they saw an eagle sitting on a cactus, eating a snake (legend said that Aztec arrived in Mexico City and found snakes that they liked to eat and considere sacred).
