[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Cup of Solid Gold wasn't the anthem for the entirety of the Qing Dynasty, as it only became the official anthem of the Qing Dynasty on October 4, 1911, but was relinquished in February 1912 when Empress Dowager Longyu abdicated the Qing throne on behalf of six-year-old Puyi, so the anthem didn't actually last that long! It was the first official anthem of China, though Pu Tian Yue is often viewed as the first but it was not approved officially by the Qing. The golden cup was a ritual instrument that symbolized the empire, first used by Emperor Qianlong to wish for the solidification of political power and the country's development and prosperity. So the anthem is about the stability of said cup. Ironically, six days after it was adopted, the Wuchang Uprising happened, beginning the Xinhai Revolution that ended the dynasty. While the First Mexican Empire didn't last long, its anthem is far older! It was written by Rabanus Maurus, a ninth-century German monk, teacher, archbishop, and saint. When the original Latin text is used, it is normally sung to a Gregorian Chant tune first known from Kempten Abbey around the year 1000! As an invocation of the Holy Spirit, Veni Creator Spiritus is sung in the Catholic Church during liturgical celebrations on the feast of Pentecost, at both Terce and Vespers. And an interesting fact about the Federal Republic of Central America is its flag was inspired by Argentina's! French-Argentine sailor Hipólito Bouchard raided Spanish outposts across the Americas and so when these Central Americans saw the Argentine flag raised, they viewed it as their flag of liberation.

Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī was the anthem of the kingdom from 1876 to 1893, and then the Republic of Hawaii from 1894 to 1898. After US annexation, it became the territorial anthem and was adopted as a state symbol in 1967. Because of its status and Hawaiian pride, it's commonly sung in Hawaiian schools and after the US anthem in sporting events. The words were written in 1874 by King David Kalākaua with music composed by Captain Henri Berger, then the king's royal bandmaster. It replaced an anthem composed by Queen Liliʻuokalani herself called He Mele Lāhui Hawaiʻi or Song of the Hawaiian Nation (originally adopted in 1866). Her song was created at the request of Kamehameha V who wanted to replace the British anthem.

Fun Fact: idk why I’m bringing this up but the Chicago cubs won their first World Series in 1922…when the Ottoman Empire still existed. Literally the moray random thing I just realized.

[@soapsatellite]

That fun fact can't be true because between 1908 and 2016, the Cubs didn't win a World Series. However, their 1908 World Series win did happen when the Ottoman Empire was still around

The Brazilian Empire had two anthems. The first, the same one you listed in the video, was written by our first Emperor and was used until 1841, when Dom Pedro II became emperor at 14 yeras old and they composed a completely different anthem. Whereas the first hymn talked about freeing Brazil from colonial chains, the second one exalted the person of the monarch. Today, the Anthem of the Republic of Brazil shares the same melody with the second Imperial Anthem, albeit they obviously erased the monarchical tendencies of the lyrics to suit their Positivist ideas.

D.Pedro II real name was D.Pedro de Alcântara, son of D.Pedro IV of Portugal. His father gave the independence and went back to Portugal to fight in the civil war against his brother, D.Miguel. That's why he abdicated in favour of his son when he was just 14 years old.

In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, there were many different anthems that changed during each sultan’s reign.

The Holy Roman Empire never had an anthem. Shortly before its dissolution, in 1796, the Austrians commissioned Joseph Haydn to compose the tune for a new patriotic _Österreichische Volkshymne,_ which would later become the Austrian Imperial anthem. The Germans pinched it in 1922

The HRE anthem, the melody being by Joseph Haydn, is today the German national anthem with the song "Lied der Deutschen" in its third stanza by August Hoffmann von Fallersleben. In Austria, it was last used for imperial Austria during the respective funeral services of Empress Zita and the last successor to the imperial throne, Otto von Habsburg. It was used by Austria as the Kaiserhymne, or Emperor's anthem. And the anthem "Heil dir im Siegerkranz" was also the Emperor's anthem in the German Empire.

[@artandthemoon]

My opinions: Holy Roman Empire - Feels like a old royal wedding happening, and in a big palace as the background. Kingdom of France - Stepping out of my royal carriage. That’s it. Ottoman Empire - A literal old cartoon and has a scene where this couple dances to this music. Qing Dynasty - Idk how to describe this 😅 All of these are my favorites out of the whole entire video

[@Aegean_XD]

The Ottoman Empire one is only for the years 1909-1918. Almost every Sultan had different marches spesifically for them like the Mecidiye Marşı for I. Abdulmecid (1839-1861).

That’s true for a lot of these, most countries didn’t really have national anthems until the 19th century. And of course the March of Henry the 4th would be written 600 years before his reign as king of France

[@kimlend7680]

@@elisorrells5314 True but still they werent anthem exactly but marches of that period. For example in early days of republic, there was no single anthem yet. The poem was set decided as official but its composition and meleody did differ even frmo parts of the cities. Like, one composition would be played in a part of Istanbul and another composition in another part. Current anthem form was decided as the official national anthem a little bit after.

I liked it too, so I looked it up. Apparently it's a 9th C hymn, usually sung "Gregorian", but this particular version is modern as composed by the Italian Andrea Montepaone, who is presently 44. Thus, this orchestration would not have been used by the First Mexican Empire. However, I'm glad the person who put this together chose this, otherwise I likely would never have heard it.
