Which country has a flag containing an eagle devouring a snake?

75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Mexico

The flag of Mexico is one of the most emblematic in Latin America thanks to its central coat of arms steeped in history. It consists of three vertical bands green, white and red. At the heart of the white stripe is the national emblem: a golden eagle perched on a nopal cactus, devouring a snake. This image is directly inspired by an ancient Aztec legend. According to the prophecy, the Aztecs were to found their capital, Tenochtitlan, at the precise place where they would see this divine spectacle. The colors of the flag also carry deep symbolism: green represents hope and independence, white symbolizes purity and faith, while red embodies unity and the blood shed by national heroes. Adopted in its current form in 1968, this emblem perfectly illustrates the fusion between pre-Columbian mythology and the modern history of the country.
