The "tricolor" national colors are red, white, and green. The colors have remained the same, but their placement and the crest in the center of the flag have changed over time. Each of the three colors has a specific meaning.

Green: symbolizes hope

White: stands for unity

Red: is for the blood of the national heroes.

The crest in the center panel is Mexico's coat of arms and portrays an eagle with a snake in its beak standing on a cactus, which comes from the legend of how Tenochtitlan (the Aztec capital where Mexico City is now) was founded.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mexican War of Independence was prepared for a battle between the people of Mexico and Spanish authorities. The war was started by Criollos (Mexican-born people of Spanish descent), with Mestizos (people of mixed native and European heritage) and native people joining in the struggle, each having different reasons and goals. The war lasted more than a decade and ended with the signing of the Treaty of Córdoba on August 24, 1821, ending three centuries of Spanish rule.
