How Countries REALLY Made Their Flags
Vložit

- Historically, flags were designed to clearly demonstrate a people's claim to a piece of land. Of course, this wasn't their only purpose, as they were used in warfare, as decorations, and other sorts of practices to represent the ideals of a people. And yes, this video is purely for entertainment purposes-do not use it for a book report or research. The trumpets heard in the transitions come from @RandyDunnTrumpet 's Royal Entrance Fanfare video.
Hi, I'm Jonathan,
I create videos that are historical, country-related, or language-related, added in with some comedy!

Denmark when a peace of cloth falls from the sky: Welp, thats good enough for me
We then hung it on a Big thin log that We found and Said: “so What does This mean now?”
Actually so good that others followed the concept and so good that the Danish flag (Dannebrog) now are the oldest national flag in unbroken use on this planet. That is something, not everything, but something, right?
Yup
Rød grød med fløde 👍👍
I AM DANICH and it was in a war and our King’s name was Valdemar and now we have a day that is King Valdemar day
Here’s what I think actually happened between Romania and Chad. Romania claimed the design of it’s flag first, Romania just changed it to have a coat of arms on their flag, and Chad then had the design. Then in either 1959 or 1960, Romania wanted to change the flag back to their original design, and Chad I think actually protested that, but what they didn’t know is that Romania claimed the design first, so they actually had the rights to use the design first.
Romania but the symbol because Russia soviet
@@dashamold1985 Oh
Yeah I think it had to do with Romania regaining independence?
Chad was occupied by France and after it was freed it made its flag somewhat inspired by the French flag
🇫🇷 🇹🇩
(Chad has the dark blue because France had it back then)
Romania was forced to put the emblem, and it was only removed in December 1989.
he drew the flags so perfectly
Edit: i realized he didn't actually draw the flags
Monke doesn't wear any pants😐😐
He actually printed them
@@kpopqueensbp i realized that lol
@@Mrmonkey- I can actually draw them tho😂
@@kurinkurinyaussss thats pretty talented
I love how the Scandinavian countries don't fight and just agree
ehhh...
not over our flags...
Unrealistic. Denmark didn't go to war against Sweden
@@rob4767 everything else, yes
@@flub3821 definetly norway didnt get captured for 600 years

Chad copied Romanias flag not us
True
Its backwards chad wasnt even a independent nation back then it was under french rule so maybe romania is first
True
True
The colors are darker
In fact, most of old nations (thousands years of history) did not have square shape flags. They were triangle and quite variant.
Like nepal
True
@lone muslim and ukraine
@@monkeyesports214 lets go nepal for the win
@basedguy*yeah it was like poland and also i forgot india had a non square*
*as well as egypt*
Even if my country bribed the chairman, I’m glad it was included in this video 👌
😂 ❤️
🤣🤣🤣
Which country?
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?!
Same
Fun fact: The oldest, continuously used national flag is that of Denmark. Its called Dannebrog
In the danish flag come from the Sky
Moral of the Story:
Bribery Always Makes You Win
Oh really?
Not always
You actually showed how the work is done when you have much money, at any level any work can be done
Nepal's flag is designed in a mountain shape. If you make it fall to the left, it looks like 2 mountains, representing the Mount Everest.
Actually Nepal took designs from an ancient hindu flag. Also, the two triangles sometimes can represent Buddhism and Hinduism. A lot of people think that and I respect it, it sounds reasonable. But, you might say, how do I know? Well I, surprisingly am Nepalese.
@@PlanetBallProductionsI am also Nepali
Romania had the colours LONG before Chad did. Romania went under communism and they placed an emblem on the flag to distinguish it from the previous flag. Chad, during Romania’s communism, used the colours, but changed it a little bit idk, when Romania overthrew communism, they changed back to their ORIGINAL flag, but Chad asked if Romania would change their flag, even though Romania had the flag previously.
Finally someone gets it
And romania just rejected like a giga chad
Or smth idk
Excuses, excuses, Romania, but we all know Chad had it first... 😉
@@Aleks-M no, we had the colours since the 19th century.
@@Aleks-MRomania had that flag for almost a century.
The Chad flag was made when we were in communist era so their were different than us but after we finnished with the communism we get to the previous flag (that which also Chad have it) but idk why Chad didn't wanted to change it
Pretty sure Chad asked Romania to change it but Romania fought hard for it so of course they said no, Chad and Romania have slightly different shades so it was kept
@@i_dont_know7682 we didn't even fight we just said no like a chad
Wait you guys are Romanian tooo oh same here

I am glad you included our country and also put it in the thumbnail and made a funny joke with it. We don’t get enough cred for making the first flag
U from denmark?
Sker der dansker?
Det er ikke det første flag nogensinde..
Dannebrog er det ældste flag som stadig er i brug😊
@@victoriasunivers det var nok også det han mente.
Yay jeg er glad for at der er dansker her:) jeg syns at vores flag er ikke brugt nok i disse video om flage! (Undskyld vis mit dansk er ikke så godt jeg skriver mest engelsk) :)
3:08 And that way Nepal get poor.
Big Mad respect to this guy who used his time to make a video for us💪😎
We need something like a part 2 of this with other countries.
Hey Whats up its been a year and i still love this vid
It would of been cool to see Monaco, Indonesia And Poland Fighting over who has the better flag 😂 (cause Monaco and Indonesia have the same flag and Poland has a upside down version
We need a part 2
Yes, part 2! I'd love to see Australia and New Zealand. As a child I honestly thought Australia's flag was ours I remember the disappointment I felt when I realised we had fewer stars than them. I mean we're just so much cooler than them, we should definitely have more on our flag than anything they have on theirs. :P lol
@@OneWayTheWayYahweh Yes you have your opinion but the USA flag is better than both.
Romania was actually first, so chad copied us
Johnathan Mexico made the flag before Italy so in reality Italy copied Mexico
I believe the Cisalpine Republic (in Northern Italy) adopted the tricolor in 1797ish. Mexico’s flag was designed for the First Mexican Empire in 1821. Correct me if I’m wrong 😉
@@jonathanscorner but the new republics that came out of colonialism and the original flag of Italy in the 1860’s
@@MannyMontoya6969 yeah, Johnathans right
@@MannyMontoya6969 true, in terms of the Kingdom of Italy, it was adopted in 1861
@@jonathanscorner and now just for fun which flag do you think looks better Mexico or Italy
Romania's flag was older than Chad's, but I wasn't expecting them to afford $100 anyway xD
Fun fact: Romania didn’t afford to bribe 100$ but America had some for us too 😅🤫
So proud of my country 🇷🇴🫡

Cool video! I loved that you added Denmark, but Denmark's flag story is about when Denmark in 1219 tried to
invade Estonia and the story tells that our flag fall down from the sky and then we won the war. 🙂😁
The flag helped i assume
@@daenforcerxd6466 Yeah
To those who dont know Denmark(my country) says that our flag fell from the sky in the middle of a battle. we are also the one with the oldest flag in the world.
1:51 Romania has been having that flag since 1848 while Chad at that time was actually France (african colony) .
''Yeah your problem right with that Oversimplified''
And that right there is something I'll never forget
0:57 man had to watch tutorials on how to make them
1:58 I like the Russia accent of “Crrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaativ” and etc.
Awesome vid I would love to see part 2!
Nice video,at some point can you make a part 2 with like Japan,China,Spain,France,Canada and Switzerland?
I wish they talked about the Belize flag 🇧🇿

I love Nepals description 😂
Fun fact: Nepals flag shape (the triangles) stand for the Himalayas 🇳🇵🗻
I love how the flags he didn’t like they bribed him 😂😂😂
Jonathan, Chad copied Romania’s flag, so tehnically Chad would’ve given money to the chairman
No, when chad 🇹🇩 hained independence from france ut changed it's flag to Romania . But Romania was communist so it had a symbol but when romania was free from communism it removed the symbol. They had the same flag
@@kielilwe before Romania was communist it had this flag 🇹🇩 The symbol doesn’t matter, Romania had the same blue yellow and red flag
the colors are slightly different, chad has slightly darker blue and the yellow is slightly different
as someone born is Nepal I feel like that’s so true lol 😂
Same here
Same here
The Nordic flags part is hilarious as Denmark is the world's oldest flag.
Vatican and Monaco: hey I need 200 real quick
2:18 true
what are you doing here putin? shouldn't you be invading ukraine?
why did u destroy ukraine
@@OmniSync Because they didn’t listen
you know i was really wondering how all the flags where made and now i like this guy hes cool so im subscribing...
Guys are you okay? Mexico put the bird, cactus, and snake because that’s how the people that used to live there found the home, it was symbolism of the Aztecs.
Bro he did Mexico 🇲🇽 so funny 😆 in this
I love how Russia was the only one where he bothered with an accent. And a hat
who agrees that the Nordic flags look awesome
Im from Denmark😊🇩🇰
U copies someone

Thanks bro ❤

3:00 “aw what the f*ck” 💀
make more of this pls it so cool
Hopefully he returns soon and he just wants 1m subs 😢
3:00 Every time I watch this I laugh 😂😂
All things considered this is pretty historically accurate
It would've been hilarious if they went into the flags with the union jack on it (Australia, new Zealand, fiji, tuvalu) and also the pan-africanist movement color flags lol
1:37
Actually
In 1821 Mexico gained independence with there green and red flag with the first mexican empire logo
And in 1861 I think
Italy gained independence with the green and red Flag with the emblem in the center
So my guess is
Italy copied Mexico in the first place
I need a pt.2! 😂😂
1:00 i spat my drink out
1:45 relateable, that's how defenently did it :D
Romania actually made the flag first.
Omg this needs a part 2 if so can you please do Libya’s old green flag ik that was a long time ago but it would be so funny
That chair man must be 100,000 years old because countries were founded at different times and days
Hey Johnathan u should making a gaming channel but with Geography games like Sporcle: Click on the Asian country without borders.
Russia accent is great🤣
Yo-yo what's good
The chairman made a new tactic to make money lol
For those who dont know the uk flag is a combination of england Scotland and Northern Ireland
🏴+🏴=🇬🇧 Thats why its so complicated.
1:25 I KNOW THIS IS A JOKE BTW. But Italy designed their flag after, since they showed up in 1861, whilst Mexico appeared in 1821
*Cisalpine Republic left the chat*
Denmarks Actual story:
1. '' Oh No! We are losing the war! ''
2. * Flag falls from the sky *
3. ' Yes! We win!
Thank you, History Class
Yes That’s exactly how We Got Dannebrog (flag’s name) No other reason, and it makes 100% sense
@Balu27 L
UK: ay u guys like my flag
Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Fiji, Cayman, British virgin, Cook and Tuvalu: *Pays the ceo instantly*
I didn’t new you were going to put Romania in the video, thx
IF you make a part 2 then please remember that NO ONE expects the Spanish inquisition!
The Russian flag actually represents the white army verses the red army
You have a good talent of drawing
The part with Russia and the Netherlands it literally what happened irl
2:52 how many times do I have to explain to groune-ass adults that SQUARES ARE RECTANGLES!
Nepalese flag 🇳🇵🇳🇵 is based on culture and symbolize that Nepal will live as long as sun and moon and red color represents Gurkhas bravery and blue, peace.
thats a cool fact abt my counrty that i didnt know
Wow....this is sooooooo relatable like the things that are just normal you always think differ lol
you nailed it with Nepal 😁😁
I’m from Nepal and this is so funny😊
As a Nepali, I find the last part quite funny 😂

Why do you have a flag with that shape?
@@perocigla4425 because they’re too poor to afford to fill in the rest.
@@IAmGodHimself777 lazy to cut it into unique shapes ok
@@sakshampokhrel42 but too lazy to learn English? Weird priorities, but okay.
