[@alexandrearaujo2877]

Okay, there are plenty of reasons as to why Portugal no longer uses the old white and blue flag, but for the sake of simplicity, I'll point out the two obvious ones: 1. Portugal is no longer a monarchy; king Carlos and his eldest son, Luís, were assassinated on 1st of February 1908, while the Royal family was passing by Terreiro do Paço, in Lisbon, which led to the youngest, Manuel II, taking charge. 2. The green and red are the colors of the republican party, whose leaders eventually overthrew the monarchy, in 5th of October 1910, forcing Maunel II and his mother, Maria, to flee to the United Kingdom and ending his short-lived two-year rule as the last monarch of Portugal; this would end up only being another phase of the huge political, social and economic instability that the country had been suffering over the last few decades and which would worsen even more in the following ones. If Portugal were to ever bring back the old white and blue flag, the monarchist party would have to win the elections, but it's very unlikely it will ever happen.

[@marvelfannumber1]

Those sound like very silly and kinda...bad reasons? For one, plenty of countries brought back monarchist symbols despite not being monarchies. Such as Serbia, Russia, Montenegro, Bulgaria etc. Secondly, is having a flag with the colors of the Portugese Republican Party any better than having the colors of the Monarchy given...well, uh...let's just say 'rough' state of the First Portugese Republic?

[@MVSSENJU]

But we could have just taken the crown of the flag. White and blue is prettier and would make more sense

[@alexandrearaujo2877]

​@@marvelfannumber1 Well, regarding symbols, the only things that really changed were the colors and the crown, the latter of which was obviously removed. The current flag still holds the coat of arms, along with new armillary sphere. And, for second, no;. It's not really any better, specially considering there was even an attempt to restore the monarchy in Porto, the second most important city, in 1919.

[@alexandrearaujo2877]

[@marvelfannumber1]

@@alexandrearaujo2877 Yeah, so you're left with choosing either the colors of the monarchy or the colors of the shitty First Republic, so I mean, you're kinda fucked either way. At that point I'd just pick what looks better, which I think is the white and blue.

[@duartemira8253]

The green in the Portuguese flag represents hope, since "green is The colour of hope" (at least its what they told us at school) and the red represents the blood of all the Portuguese heroes that died during the battles that Portugal had during his rising. 🇵🇹 Great video BTW. Hope my English is understandable. 🙏🏽

[@Jorge23Costa]

Also, the reason for dropping blue and making such a sudden change was because the monarchy was abolished and blue was the royal color. Also the crown was dropped for the same reason.

We also like how it looks more. The British are stereotypically seen as snobbish so an American with a British flag might unwantingly give off that notion and the Australian stereotype of laid back and chill is a much more desirable vibe to give off.

In case anyone was wondering, the reason why London didn't have a flag between 1986 and 2001 is because the city lacked a single local government/council during that period. The Greater London Council was formed in 1965 but abolished in 1986 due to a combination of being perceived as a ineffective/a waste of money (sometimes fairly, sometimes unfairly) and party politics (the GLC was run by the "loony-left", while Margaret Thatcher was the UK's Prime Minister). In 2001, the Greater London Assembly was established which served a similar purpose but has far greater budgetary restraints and also a new flag.

In 1910 a coup change the regime to republic and they for some reason decided to use the colours of the Carbonari, shady organization that wanted a union between Portugal and Spain.
