ASEAN Countries Flags Timeline

[@ovaaaaaL]

For those who are wondering why Timor Leste is not here, it's because the video only includes ASEAN members. ASEAN stands for Association of South East Asian Nations and it's like a political-economic cooperation agency though I'm not very sure. Up to this day, Timor Leste is not yet a member state but soon they will I think. Anyways, hello to my fellow South East Asian brothers (including Timor Leste ofc).

Indonesia uses and re-adapts the flags used during the Majapahit era as the state flag and naval jack. It just happens to be similar to the Dutch flag. Citing the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the Indonesian flag was officially adopted on August 17, 1945, three days after the end of World War II. It remained the national flag when Indonesia won recognition of its independence from the Netherlands in 1949.

[@thegrandlord2914]

Actualy the curent indonesian flag was originated from kediri flag and you can find the flag carved on borobudur temple relief. The reason why indonesian flag (Sang Saka Merah Putih) were asociated with majapahit because indonesian independent movement are the realization of Gajah Mada's Palapa Oath to unite all nusantara under one flag. Although not all nusantara became indonesian teritory, but the curent indonesia is so close to the realisation of that oath. The founder of majapahit, Raden Wijaya is the grandson of the latest king of Kediri. His ambition was tor revive kingdom of kediri. Because of this, when majapahit first born as a kingdom in eastern half of java, Raden Wijaya using his old kingdom flag as the flag of majapahit. When majapahit started it's expansionism, they using kediri flag stacked as majapahit imperial flag, while the old kediri flag used as the flag of majapahit main teritory and now being used as Indonesian National Flag, while majapahit imperial flag used as Indonesian Naval Jack.

Filipinos: The Americans had freed us Americans: Oh I wouldn't say freed. More like, under new management. Filipinos: The Japanese had...."freed".... us? Japanese: Oh I wouldn't say freed. More like, under new management. Filipinos: MacArthur had freed us MacArthur: Oh, I still wouldn't say freed. More like under new management. And the cycle continues..

Ironically thay Filipinos wanted for US statehood.

[@vonn8973]

the Americans didn't freed us. they are credit grabbers. we are already defeating the Spanish empire but the americans took that opportunity when the empire is pushing back to manila(capital) and then the Americans came to make a deal to surrender not from the pilipinos but to Us(americans) and thats how they stole our victory to the spanish

As A Filipino we have many flags before the pre colonization

[@cymo7344]

But those flags represents those various petty kingdoms across of the archipelago. Not united as one, so no ancient official flag uniting the islands and its people in one banner.

[@ryanpatambang8858]

before Spanish comes there are the sulu kingdom, tondo kingdom cabaloan, maguindanao and others having different flags but this video shows flag in 18th to 21st century which after the Spanish had most of the land already.

[@ovaaaaaL]

It's important to note stuffs for this video. First, it starts at 1802. By that time, majority, though not all, of the present-day Philippine's land is governed by Spain based on Manila. And another thing to point out is that pre-colonial Philippines' tribes are not united. Basically, the Philippines; as a whole, only really started to exist when Spain "united" us (forcefully though xD)
