New Zealand's Flag

New Zealand’s national flag has been through many revolutions, but only one of them, has been able to be the substantial emblem of our country’s pride for now, and hopefully strive to be, for many years to come.

The flag that is certified consists of four stars (the southern cross) and a union jack. New Zealand was colonised by representatives of the Queen, and our connection with England is shown through this Union Jack. Aotearoa’s flag is blue which represents the oceans around it, and the beauty of all natural H2O’s around our land. Red, and white are outlined around the stars, and union jack, with Saint George’s cross, the patron saint of England, and two diagonal lines that indicate the two additional countries that are a part of the United Kingdom, Wales, and Scotland.  Now going onto historic interactions, the flag was originally supposed to be for the marine army, in which was verified, but when they had hit land, the country suddenly decided, (through the controversy, arguments, and debates) that this flag was fit enough to be displayed to the world and many more to represent New Zealand. The treaty of Waitangi was one of many agreements that was said to be created for the decision of the nation's flag, and it was signed by both the Maori, and European leaders, so that they would come to terms of raising up a flag, optimistically with assurance of what they wanted our flag to reflect unto our country.

Unity is one of the many attributes every country strives for, and from what our country has gone through, we have actually achieved what we had been going for, to unite with countries and keep our world as it is, but additional peace of ours into it. Aotearoa know, whenever we are down in trouble, or other attackers are hunting down on us, other paired countries will always have our backs.


We are united under the southern cross, because basically, all of these four precious stars are stars that each and every country is able to see in the night skies, and it helps every single person that is compiled or involved within southern countries in the southern hemisphere.
