The 48-star United States flag was adopted following the accession of the two American states of Arizona and New Mexico to the American Federal Union. This 48-star USA flag was in effect in the United States for 47 consecutive years from 1912 to 1959. It is the American flag of the 20th century that crossed both World Wars!
Indeed, did you know that the specificity of the history of the American flag lies in the fact that it has been given an additional star each time a new member state enters the Union?
Currently, the official US flag is adorned with 50 white stars in the upper left canton in blue representing the 50 current US states.
Discover the entire evolution of the starred banner in American history from its beginnings with the 13-star flag of the 13 founding states to its final 50-star shape in effect since 1960 in our section dedicated to American historical flags!
