Some Background Info to this Flag (used from 1821 to 1823
At the end of the Mexican War of Independence
, the
Army of the Three Guarantees
(
Ejército Trigarante
or
Ejército de las Tres Garantías
) was the name given to the army after the unification of the Spanish troops led by Agustin de Iturbide
and the Mexican insurgent troops,
consolidating Mexico's independence from Spain
.
This army, being the result of the union of all the Mexican armed forces, needed a flag to express this fact. The tailor in charge of making it, gave Iturbide the tricolor flag, whose essential elements remain in the current one.The flag  was divided by three diagonal and non-vertical bars, and in the center of each band was a golden star.  The first strip, starting at the top, was white and symbolized the purity of the Catholic religion, an active principle of national unity; the second was green and symbolized the ideal of political independence for Mexico, not only in relation to Spain, but also from any other nation; the third was red and represented the ideal of union between the indigenous, mestizo, creole and Spanish residents in Mexico and, in general, among those who made up the Mexican population; the stars represented the three guarantees and the will to fulfill them
