Fun Fact to the German coat of arms: The city states of Bremen and Hamburg have a connection to each other within their symbolisms.. While Hamburg has the gate/castle, Bremen has the key to this gate/castle on its coat of arms. And till this day there has been a huge rivalry between these two city states on which city (or symbolism) is better (or more important).

Irish counties don't officially have flags. They have coats of arms and they have sporting colours. The flags shown here are the sporting colours, which is the most common way to do county flags if you're displaying all of them as a set. But if you're waving your own county's flag, or displaying it in your house, you may choose a variant which includes the county's coat of arms, or perhaps the logo of the GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) county board.

Puerto Rican here. Yes, the Cuban and PR flag are closely related. The PR flag was made in 1895 after the Cuban flag of 1849. Both islands were aiding each other in their fight for independence, mainly organizing in New York to avoid Spanish persecution. The PR flag was a symbol of the independence movement and was banned from display in 1947 with the "Gag Law", similar to the Smith Law in the US to fight communism. Later in 1952 it was adopted by the newly formed Commonwealth of PR and has been the official flag since. There's debate on what the tone of blue is the true one. Independence supporters say its sky blue since that was the color used in the Lares Revolt in 1868. Others argue that it is turquoise blue or dark blue since it is derived from the Cuban flag directly. Some of us dont care, we just love our flag 🇵🇷🙂

As an Italian I think that the word pace from the peace flag comes from some latin languages because in Italian pace mean peace

[@nicoladc89]

La bandiera arcobaleno della Pace è nata in Italia nel 1961 ed è diventata famosa dopo le manifestazioni per la pace del 2002 (se non sbaglio in quell'occasione ci fu la più grande manifestazione per la pace della storia, con più di 3 milioni di persone in piazza a Roma), a volte la scritta viene tradotta, ma non sempre.

16:10 because it's in italian. It means peace.

This is my time to shine, I'm from Uruguay, indeed we have 3 flags. The left one is "Artigas' flag" who was a commander who fought against Spanish and Portuguese royalists, it is inspired (as you can see by its colors) in the French flag because of the French Revolution of 1789. The other flag is the "33's flag" which represents the 33 fighters who came back from exile in Argentina to fight for Uruguay's independence from the Empire of Brazil, the phrase "Libertad o Muerte" means "Freedom or Death" which expresses the feeling of fighting for freedom and rather die while fighting than live without freedom.

The flags for Irish counties get way more interesting with all the symbols

The uk never controlled Hawaii. It chose to use the union flag in the corner out of respect for our friendly relationship with the Hawaiian monarch. The sovereignty flag is flown against the USA who “peacefully annexed” The Republic of Hawaii in 1898 after definitely not getting involved in the overthrow of the Royal Family in 1893.

Even tho the Hawaiian flag has the Union Jack, the uk never owned the islands. Hawaii wanted to join the empire but the uk rejected the offer

[@kingink2538]

Big oof for the Surfer poeple

[@Mimi.1001]

I don't know if the Hawaiians explicitly wanted to join the British Empire as I highly doubt the British would reject any piece of land in the 19th century, especially when they colonized a bunch of pacific islands already, but the Hawaiian king certainly instituted the Union Jack to show their friendly intentions. It was mainly to keep the British as a trading partner, as they were the only ones besides the USA and most important ones who were trading with Hawaii due to its isolation. You could argue it was also a preventive measure, so that the British *wouldn't* colonize Hawaii or do so in a violent invasion.

[@mariasirona1622]

WAIT WUT THE UK REFUSED A GROUP ISLANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN!????

[@Solid_Garlic]

@@Mimi.1001 that is true however, the uk didn’t want the islands as they where impossible to actually control and stepped on the USAs to much for it to be a viable colony

i suggest you make custom flags, Drew.

(10:40) 240p is half of 480p. But in Europe, we had 576p instead, so it would be 288p and not 240p.

Italy has 4 Official flags: the flag you usually see, the civil naval flag, the militar naval flag and the governative naval flag. Plus the presidential flag, the prime minister flag, the flag of Presidents Emeritus, the flag of the temporary President and the flags of bowsprit civil and militar. P.S. SPQR means Senatvs PopvlvsQve Romanvs literally the Senate and the People of Rome.

0:32 That's a pro-reunification flag, Drew, or maybe you should call it the No-No-Ireland Flag

[@Justanotherlemon]

So, the IRA or another group?

[@northofnashira2575]

@@Justanotherlemon It's just a general pro-reunification flag really. No one group can really claim it as their own. It doesn't infer the threat of violence. It's used by groups that are looking to reunite through peaceful means and some not so peaceful.

2:15, 2:35: Used to be Libya with 100% green, but they changed it after Gaddafi was overthrown. And of course there is not much purple and pink, as the traditional heraldic tinctures are gold, silver, red, green, black and blue. Brown and purple were very uncommon.

[@liamK1916]

Irish flags are actually awesome. There are two types. The ones you showed are modern county flags and are just used for sport. There are old kingdoms and family flags in Ireland and are epic. You really should look up “old Irish flags”. Blame the Brits… they banned all Irish traditional culture, flags and language when they tried to oof us 😞
