Flag Of New Holland
The Flag of New Holland, also known as the flag of Dutch Brazil, was the flag used by the Dutch West India Company for the territories that were under its control in Brazil from 1630 until 1654. In this period, Brazil was not granted its own flag, and only the flags of its colonizers or rulers were used. History The conquered captaincies in Brazil during the Dutch rule used the flag of the Dutch West Indies Company (in Dutch: ''Geoctrooieerde Westindische Compagnie'' - ''GWC''). This flag consists of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands flag – horizontally striped in red (or orange), white and blue – with the inclusion of the company monogram (GWC) in the center.
