there are many flags worldwide that are similar or near identical to the flag of poland despite being unrelated to it. for example, the historical flag of bohemia, the major historical region of poland's southern neighbor, the czech republic, consists of two horizontal stripes, white on top and red on bottom. similarly to the flag of poland, it is of heraldic origin, the coat of arms of bohemia being "gules, a lion rampant, queue fourchée argent, crowned, langued and armed or", that is a silver double-tailed lion in a red field. the white-and-red kingdom of bohemia flag came into use in 12th century (flag of poland dates to 13th century). after the end of the first world war in 1918, kingdom of bohemia flag was shortly used as a flag of the newly formed czecho-slovak republic. in 1920, a blue triangle was added to reflect slovakia presence. the flag was used by czechoslovakia until its dissolution in 1992 and currently is used as the flag of the czech republic. however, the traditional flag of bohemia in proportion 2:3 (by contrast to 5:8 proportion of the polish flag) was introduced again from 1990 to 1993 as the flag of the then not independent czech republic, one of the constituent entities of the czech and slovak federative republic. after the dissolution of czechoslovakia the traditional white-and-red kingdom of bohemia flag has become obsolete.

in a letter written by maria manuela (mima) besosa, the daughter of the puerto rican revolutionary committee member manuel besosa, she stated that she sewed the flag. this created a belief that her father could have been its designer. in her letter she described the flag as one which consists of five stripes that alternate from red to white. three of the stripes are red, and the other two are white. to the left of the flag is a light blue triangle that houses one white five-pointed star. each part of this flag has its own meaning. the three red stripes represent the blood from the brave warriors. the two white stripes represent the victory and peace that they would have after gaining independence. the white star represented the island of puerto rico. the blue represents the sky and blue coastal waters. the triangle represents the three branches of government. finally, it is also believed by some that it was lola rodríguez de tió who suggested that puerto ricans use the cuban flag with its colors reversed as the model for their own standard. the color of the cuban flag's blue stripes, however, were a darker shade of blue, according to professor martí.
