What are the Flags of North America?

This quiz covers the flags of 18 countries and territories in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The United States' Stars and Stripes was first adopted in 1777, and has had 50 stars, one for each state, since 1960. Canada adopted its red and white Maple Leaf flag in 1965, and Mexico's flag shows an eagle eating a snake on a cactus, from the Aztec legend of how Tenochtitlan was founded. The blue-white-blue stripes on the flags of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica come from the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America, which they formed after independence from Spain. Most Caribbean flags were adopted when those nations became independent in the 1960s to 1980s.
