Brief History
Under Spanish rule the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo was under the Cross of Burgundy flag. When Spain ceded Santo Domingo to the French in 1795 the French blue-white-red vertical tricolour was adopted. The national flag reverted back to the Burgundy Cross when the Spanish Empire took hold again in 1809.

In 1821 a small colony of Santo Dominico became the republic of Spanish Haiti and adopted a yellow-blue-red horizontal tricolour. The republic only lasted till early 1822 when the area became the Unification of Hispaniola under Haitian Rule. The Flag adopted was a blue-red horizontal bicolour with the coat of arms in the centre.

In 1844 the Dominican Republic gained independence from Haiti and the new flag adopted was a blue-red horizontal bicolour with a white cross in the centre. The flag was changed to two blue and two red rectangles with a white cross and national coat of arms in the centre. The civil flag does not have the coat of arms.
The colours on the flag have specific meanings. The blue is for liberty, white for salvations and red for the heros of the the Dominican Republic.
