What does the broken trident on the flag of Barbados represent?

Answer Independence

A British colony since 1627, Barbados gained its independence in 1966. On Barbados's colonial badge, Britannia was holding the trident of Poseidon. However, once Barbados gained independence, the broken trident indicates that it has broken away from being a colony.
