The Angolan flag was adopted in 1975 when the country became independent. The red stripe was chosen to represent the blood spilt by the Angolan people as they struggled for independence, while the black stripe is for Africa. The central design consists of a cog wheel (industry and workers in industry) and a machete (workers on the land). The country had a Marxist government when the flag was adopted and the design was intended to resemble the "hammer and sickle" of the former Soviet Union and Communism.
