The history of the tricolor flag responds to an essentially popular sentiment. Purple had been used by the liberal and, later, progressive or exalted movements since the times of the Liberal Triennium (1820-1823) under the influence of the myth of the purple banner of Castile, which defended that the community members rose up with a banner of such color against King Charles I for his policy of giving Flemish men the most important positions in the Castilian administration (for more details, see War of the Communities of Castile). Be that as it may, in 1931 the color purple or violet had a kind of popular tradition, which led to its definitive inclusion in the new national flag, in an improvised start to differentiate the new regime that began after the votes of April 12 in its most necessary symbols.
