Having already published a history of the evolution of our American flag, I would like to add other flags that relate to our nation's history in some way. Therefore, I am creating an ongoing quiz. All the flags will represent an independent sovereignty that had territorial land claims and thus flew freely over a section of our present United States.I will pepper these between blogs periodically to test your general flag and historical knowledge. If you know the answer - feel free to state it in the comment section. With each new question I will answer the previous one.
Here is flag question #1.
What nation did this flag represent and what sections were claimed or explored?
Lion and Castle of Spain
ReplyDeleteSpanish flag, Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean, Ponce de Leon discovered Florida, and Magellan circled the globe.
