Eight white stars arc across the blue stripe of Venezuela's tricolor, though the flag started with only seven when the provinces declared independence from Spain in 1811. The eighth was added in 2006, in honor of Simon Bolivar's vision, to represent the historical province of Guayana. Yellow stands for the land's riches, blue for the ocean crossing to Spain, red for the fight itself.
