Fun fact, a lot of european medieval artists (monks mainly) had no idea what a lion properly looked like. This got better after the crusades and more christian influence was present in North Africa, but there are many examples of lions being drawn strangely and in a "dog-like" manner, probably explains your confusion with the white lion... just a clergical artist who was described that a lion "looks like a big dog with fur around it's head" :D
Fun fact: Originally the lion was drawn with its tail in between its hind legs, but it came under heavy ridicule, as people said it looked like a monkey (which I can’t disagree with).
Haha, not sure if we were told the same thing about the white and blue because I can't remember it but our teacher also told us that the red represents blood and that's why it's on the bottom so it doesn't stain the white when it runs.
3:09 there's a legend about it. King named Bruncvík was on a world tour and he saved lion from dragon. Then the lion traveled faithfully by his side and fought with him in many battles. When they came home, Bruncvík had paint the lion in his coat of arms. The lion has two tails, because in some battle somebody cut his tail in two.
And theres also something about it in Dalimils Cronicle... Saying its from Frederick Barbarosa given to Vladislav I. (which is more likely then whole Bruncvik myth...)

@@morroghaiky6580 Please THINK ;) my comment was about use of term 'binge drinking'., not overall consumption... as you should know, "binge drinking" means concentrating your consumption into short periods of time - meaning drink yourself to oblivion WHEN you drink.(regardless whether you drink often or rarely) So if person A does 15 half liters of beer once a week, then person A is a 'binge drinker' When person B does two half liters of beer every day, then Person B has same consumption as Person A, but Person B is not 'binge drinking'- hope you get what I mean;) Binge drinking is just not the culture here. Regular consumption of beer is. There is a difference between the two;) P.S. As I wrote , I spent some time in Belgium(exchange student), and that culture of 'let's get really drunk when we go out' kind of surprised me coming from the CZ. Another interesting aspect of Belgium's drinking culture i noticed (at least among students) is 'getting ready' before going clubbing by drinking at home (cheaper supermarket alcohol as compared to more pricey alcohol in clubs/pubs)- not done here either

1:00 actually there was a Czech state before, it was called Great Moravia (Veľká Morava) and it concurred Slovakia, parts of Poland, today Hungary and more to the south, but I’m not sure how much, but then Hungarians came from the east and win against Great Moravia, Slovakia became a part of Hungary and the duchy of Bohemia was created.
Wrong, it was not a czech state. It was moravian, what was different tribe, then czechs. Also territorial extent was much smaller, basically it was today Moravia, western and central Slovakia and small parts of Austria and northern Hungary. Other territories were just paying tribute and was not part of Great Moravis (well, Svatopluk was duke of Bohemia for very short time).
Well I’m not an expert, you can be right, but I googled Veľká Morava after you wrote this comment and at its peak it was pretty much what I was saying, but yeah I don’t understand it that well, so I won’t play the smart one here
@@thealphasam7350 Octopus Syd might be butthurt Moravian :D. Ofc Great Morava was czech state, by definition of Czech ppl now. Czech, Moravian, Slovakian and Sorbs are tribes that in time of creation of Great Morava were culturaly in union (Tribes leaders saw themselfs as one Tribe union and with christianity later it translated into full cultural union where only subtle differeces persist.) Slovaks were then cut from it by Hungarians and Sorbs by Germans and where asimilited into respective culture. Sorbs more then Slovaks. There is another issue with Polish and Silesian tribes, but its for longer explanation.

The history of the lion rampant is a bit murky. According to legend (meaning the Chronicle of so-called Dalimil) it was awarded to King Vladislav I. by Frederick Barbarosa as a reward for bravery in the Italian campaign, and the split tail was an "upgrade" for yet more battle honours. In reality this does not seem to have been the case. This is related to one mistake you made about the status of Moravia; it used to be an independent state (Great Moravia) but was destroyed by Hungarians, leaving only its former dependency (Bohemia) intact. Bohemians were later able to reconquer Moravia around 1000AD and it has always been an integral part of the Czech state (though it was under foreign occupation for a few brief periods). During this time it usually served as an appanage for the heir apparent (much like the Principality of Wales, although the Přemyslid heir would actually rule in Moravia). The promotion to a Margravy was an attempt by Barbarosa to split the Czech state in two by granting sort-of independence to the Moravian prince Konrád Ota. But Konrád ultimately didn't bite, made up with prince Bedřich of Bohemia and they affirmed the indivisibility of the realm and permanent union between Bohemia and Moravia. Getting around to the coat of arms itself, a few decades later Moravia was held as an appanage by Přemysl Otakar II., who after he became king is the wirst ruler to have used the split-tail lion rampant as his coat of arms. Historians today believe that a simple lion rampant was orignally the coat of arms of Moravia that Přemysl was using as a prince, and he simply kept it when he succeeded his father Václav, adding the crown to symbolise his royal title and split tail to signify him being the ruler of two indivisible lands. They then had to come up with a new coat of arms for Moravia (the current one), but nobody seems to know where that came from. Lots more detail on this here: chronicaboemorum.com/
Just to add: Moravia literally wasn't made by Czech Kingdom or somehow. It was a state back in the 9th century but didn't have a long reign as in 906 the state was destroyed by Hungarian tribes. The German and Bohemian Kingdom had lots of work to defend them but they made it in the year 955? in the battle of the river Lech. But this story is for a longer time.
@@matusmotlo3854 Can't disagree. But Magyars were scary for everyone at that time. If it wasn't for the battle at Lech river, who knows how far would they go.

@@skytheneko Most of the Czech Republic is made up of pudgy people or spoiled children and they all want to resemble Americans. The Czech Republic is such a backward America.
You actually pronounced Czechoslovakia very well. Czechia - the first part “Cz” is pronounced just the same well - it is , after all from the same source.
Cool vid :) And the pronounciation wasn't that bad :D I have to admit I was hoping you would mention the greater coat of arms of the first republic (also used on the presidential flag at the time) it looked similiar to the one you used, so called middle coat of arms, but it had three more arms on it for other, smaller regions, and it was held by two lions on the sides with our national motto "truth prevails" underneath it... Personally that's my favourite one :) Also, the coat of arms for the "Lands of the Bohemian Crown" (aka lands traditionally ruled by the king of bohemia) was pretty cool :) And finally, as for the lion, according to one legend I heard, from my history teacher I think, was that the lion was supposed to be king Přemysl Otakar I. A very powerful king in his time, and the tails were supposed to represent the pope and the emperor, following his will. Due to his impressive military power, he was able to influence the imperial politics and papal opinion enough for the King of Bohemia be proclaimed a hereditary title to be passed on to his descendants as well as get some other cool perks such as being excused from "Reichstag" (basically parliament) unless it was close to czech lands... If the Emperor decided to hold the Reichstag in Hamburg for example, czech kings didn't have to come, unless they wanted to. (More in the Golden Bule of Sicily issued in 1212) This was a pretty big deal, since there were no other kings in the HRE. Technically the emperor was a "king of the germans" however this was mainly a "temporary" title for the emperor to use before his coronation as an emperor, which was supposed to be performed by the Pope himself... And even for the rest of HREs history, there really weren't other kings in HRE. Austria was an Archduchy, so basically like a half step from duchy to kingdom, and Prussia was outside imperial borders so the kings were called "kings in prussia" instead of "kings of prussia". Sorry I kind of started rambling a long and boring history lesson... If you read this entire comment, kudos to you :)
Basically Poland, Slovakia, Czech are formed by passing/migrating Croatian tribes who devided in more groups. Some stayed and formed there own kingdoms on path to modern Croatia and balkan areas. Colors of white and red Croatian kingdoms are present in all flags with white and red chessboard board symbols.

Awesome video with a lot of historical facts! You earned a subscribe and a new fan. I have to watch your videos they are awesome. I was about to write a few comments, but you really mentioned everything in the end! Simply awesome.
Quite good. I would just note, as a Czech, that you'll never see the year 870 in any school books here - it's very much just an estimate of the place being united, end even that only under the greater rule of Great Moravia, which is an interesting even though short-lived country to look at. There are very much none Czech sources for the period, some mentions come from Frankish and Byzantine ones, but to put ones finger on 870 is not what Czechs do - not enough information. We usually just stick to the "start of the 10th century" after Great Moravia collapsed and Czech scarce sources start to appear, rulers' names are known and timeline can be established.
C'mon, we fought for our republic in 1918, 1938, 1968, 1989 and many people died for it, so it is not so difficult to say CZECH REPUBLIC instead of stupid czechia. BTW., what we gave to the world: word ROBOT, word PISTOL, hedgehogs agains tanks, machinegun BREN, cars Škoda and Tatra, Pilsner Urquell, shoes Bata etc, etc, etc.
No. Paradoxically, the years you mentioned there was no Czech Republic. We had Czechoslovakia (which is also a shortcut) and at the same time part of the country was Czechia. So you post is entirely false.
And fun fact, back in 1992 there was an legislative act that neither Czechia or Slovakia will use the symbols of the former Czechoslovakian state, but Czechia didnt give a shit and use it anyway
That was in the case if one of the states leaves the federation. But Slovakia did not leave, rather the whole Czechoslovakia dissolved. So the flag is not against the rule.
Jiří Kubec ale áno je. Treba si kuknut ústavný zákon 542/1992 prijatý ešte Federalnym zhromaždením o zániku Federacie. Tam sa jasne píše že CSFR zaniká k 31.12.1992 a že žiadny nástupnícky štát nesmie používať štátne symboly CSFR.
Part of this legislation also was that neither state will adopt any form of constitution before dissolution, which Slovakia did like six months prior. You broke the treaty first soo. Also since Bohemia was always central and most important part of Czechoslovakia it kind of make sense that we kept it even though i would prefer us uphold the treaty that was made and go back to sigil of Bohemian kingdom.

@@r0seyTh0rnSsCzechia is perfectly fine and you should feel free to use it. What Bo Libor Kroupa wrote is a complete nonsense. Czechia is a centuries-old name of the country and has nothing to do with Zeman or the Russian language.
It actually represented the Slovak National Uprising (Slovenské Národní Povstání in Czech) from 1944 against the german dictate (because 1939-1945 Slovakia was an autonomous fascist country). Indeed communists were against religion, but not entirely. It wasn't supported, but if someone was a christian, nobody would care. Even churches were maintained throughout the 20th century. During 1948-1960 it was a totally different regime, people were getting arrested for nothing because the propaganda needed some villains to show the society that they're imperialists and should be punished. Even for being a priest. Maybe you've heard about Josef Toufar, a priest who was beaten to death by StB (czechoslovak KGB) because of a faked miracle in his church (they installed a mechanism which would make the cross wobble from side to side). All of this was under the power of Klement Gottwald, who is nicknamed the czech Stalin.
2/3 are correct. Blue was really taken from Slovakia flag and is on the side, because they wanted to make some combination of czech and slovak flags, different from 3 stripes of Slovakia.
So which words do you think I pronounced the worse? Also thanks to who commented about the blue triangle being in representation of Slovakia!

I love Czechia! The land of the binge beer drinkers haha
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪
Yes and We love ice hockey and Belgium Football
"The land of the binge beer drinkers".... not exactly 'binge drinkers'- I did spend six months in Belgium, and I can assure you 'binge' aspect is nearly nonexistent compared to Belgium..... if you see 'binge drinkers' in CZ, they will most probably be Belgian, Brit tourists etc.;).... we drink beer a lot, but we just not have that 'binge drinking' aspect in our culture;)
@@letecmig Sorry, Czechs still win when it comes to consumption of beer per capita (worldwide), Belgium is 27th. 'Czech' the statistics.
@@morroghaiky6580 Please THINK ;) my comment was about use of term 'binge drinking'., not overall consumption... as you should know, "binge drinking" means concentrating your consumption into short periods of time - meaning drink yourself to oblivion WHEN you drink.(regardless whether you drink often or rarely)
So if person A does 15 half liters of beer once a week, then person A is a 'binge drinker'
When person B does two half liters of beer every day, then Person B has same consumption as Person A, but Person B is not 'binge drinking'- hope you get what I mean;)
Binge drinking is just not the culture here. Regular consumption of beer is. There is a difference between the two;)
P.S. As I wrote , I spent some time in Belgium(exchange student), and that culture of 'let's get really drunk when we go out' kind of surprised me coming from the CZ. Another interesting aspect of Belgium's drinking culture i noticed (at least among students) is 'getting ready' before going clubbing by drinking at home (cheaper supermarket alcohol as compared to more pricey alcohol in clubs/pubs)- not done here either
@@letecmig Except the person B has more than double consumption of beer through the week than person A. But point taken.

1:00 actually there was a Czech state before, it was called Great Moravia (Veľká Morava) and it concurred Slovakia, parts of Poland, today Hungary and more to the south, but I’m not sure how much, but then Hungarians came from the east and win against Great Moravia, Slovakia became a part of Hungary and the duchy of Bohemia was created.
Wrong, it was not a czech state. It was moravian, what was different tribe, then czechs. Also territorial extent was much smaller, basically it was today Moravia, western and central Slovakia and small parts of Austria and northern Hungary. Other territories were just paying tribute and was not part of Great Moravis (well, Svatopluk was duke of Bohemia for very short time).
Well I’m not an expert, you can be right, but I googled Veľká Morava after you wrote this comment and at its peak it was pretty much what I was saying, but yeah I don’t understand it that well, so I won’t play the smart one here
@@thealphasam7350 Octopus Syd might be butthurt Moravian :D. Ofc Great Morava was czech state, by definition of Czech ppl now.

Slovaks were then cut from it by Hungarians and Sorbs by Germans and where asimilited into respective culture. Sorbs more then Slovaks.

@@IQEGO Díky😉
I am from Czech Republic 🇨🇿 and I think you made really good video! Thanks😄
This reminded me about Shledon Cooper's show about flags in TBBT. xd
The history of the lion rampant is a bit murky. According to legend (meaning the Chronicle of so-called Dalimil) it was awarded to King Vladislav I. by Frederick Barbarosa as a reward for bravery in the Italian campaign, and the split tail was an "upgrade" for yet more battle honours.
In reality this does not seem to have been the case. This is related to one mistake you made about the status of Moravia; it used to be an independent state (Great Moravia) but was destroyed by Hungarians, leaving only its former dependency (Bohemia) intact. Bohemians were later able to reconquer Moravia around 1000AD and it has always been an integral part of the Czech state (though it was under foreign occupation for a few brief periods). During this time it usually served as an appanage for the heir apparent (much like the Principality of Wales, although the Přemyslid heir would actually rule in Moravia).
The promotion to a Margravy was an attempt by Barbarosa to split the Czech state in two by granting sort-of independence to the Moravian prince Konrád Ota. But Konrád ultimately didn't bite, made up with prince Bedřich of Bohemia and they affirmed the indivisibility of the realm and permanent union between Bohemia and Moravia.
Getting around to the coat of arms itself, a few decades later Moravia was held as an appanage by Přemysl Otakar II., who after he became king is the wirst ruler to have used the split-tail lion rampant as his coat of arms. Historians today believe that a simple lion rampant was orignally the coat of arms of Moravia that Přemysl was using as a prince, and he simply kept it when he succeeded his father Václav, adding the crown to symbolise his royal title and split tail to signify him being the ruler of two indivisible lands. They then had to come up with a new coat of arms for Moravia (the current one), but nobody seems to know where that came from.
Lots more detail on this here: chronicaboemorum.com/
Just to add: Moravia literally wasn't made by Czech Kingdom or somehow. It was a state back in the 9th century but didn't have a long reign as in 906 the state was destroyed by Hungarian tribes. The German and Bohemian Kingdom had lots of work to defend them but they made it in the year 955? in the battle of the river Lech. But this story is for a longer time.

how is it going today?
Everyone : Czech Republic me : Land of Beer
Cool vid :) And the pronounciation wasn't that bad :D
I have to admit I was hoping you would mention the greater coat of arms of the first republic (also used on the presidential flag at the time) it looked similiar to the one you used, so called middle coat of arms, but it had three more arms on it for other, smaller regions, and it was held by two lions on the sides with our national motto "truth prevails" underneath it... Personally that's my favourite one :)
Also, the coat of arms for the "Lands of the Bohemian Crown" (aka lands traditionally ruled by the king of bohemia) was pretty cool :)
And finally, as for the lion, according to one legend I heard, from my history teacher I think, was that the lion was supposed to be king Přemysl Otakar I. A very powerful king in his time, and the tails were supposed to represent the pope and the emperor, following his will. Due to his impressive military power, he was able to influence the imperial politics and papal opinion enough for the King of Bohemia be proclaimed a hereditary title to be passed on to his descendants as well as get some other cool perks such as being excused from "Reichstag" (basically parliament) unless it was close to czech lands... If the Emperor decided to hold the Reichstag in Hamburg for example, czech kings didn't have to come, unless they wanted to. (More in the Golden Bule of Sicily issued in 1212) This was a pretty big deal, since there were no other kings in the HRE. Technically the emperor was a "king of the germans" however this was mainly a "temporary" title for the emperor to use before his coronation as an emperor, which was supposed to be performed by the Pope himself... And even for the rest of HREs history, there really weren't other kings in HRE. Austria was an Archduchy, so basically like a half step from duchy to kingdom, and Prussia was outside imperial borders so the kings were called "kings in prussia" instead of "kings of prussia".

Quite good. I would just note, as a Czech, that you'll never see the year 870 in any school books here - it's very much just an estimate of the place being united, end even that only under the greater rule of Great Moravia, which is an interesting even though short-lived country to look at. There are very much none Czech sources for the period, some mentions come from Frankish and Byzantine ones, but to put ones finger on 870 is not what Czechs do - not enough information. We usually just stick to the "start of the 10th century" after Great Moravia collapsed and Czech scarce sources start to appear, rulers' names are known and timeline can be established.
C'mon, we fought for our republic in 1918, 1938, 1968, 1989 and many people died for it, so it is not so difficult to say CZECH REPUBLIC instead of stupid czechia.
BTW., what we gave to the world: word ROBOT, word PISTOL, hedgehogs agains tanks, machinegun BREN, cars Škoda and Tatra, Pilsner Urquell, shoes Bata etc, etc, etc.

And fun fact, back in 1992 there was an legislative act that neither Czechia or Slovakia will use the symbols of the former Czechoslovakian state, but Czechia didnt give a shit and use it anyway
That was in the case if one of the states leaves the federation. But Slovakia did not leave, rather the whole Czechoslovakia dissolved. So the flag is not against the rule.
Jiří Kubec ale áno je. Treba si kuknut ústavný zákon 542/1992 prijatý ešte Federalnym zhromaždením o zániku Federacie.
Tam sa jasne píše že CSFR zaniká k 31.12.1992 a že žiadny nástupnícky štát nesmie používať štátne symboly CSFR.
Part of this legislation also was that neither state will adopt any form of constitution before dissolution, which Slovakia did like six months prior. You broke the treaty first soo. Also since Bohemia was always central and most important part of Czechoslovakia it kind of make sense that we kept it even though i would prefer us uphold the treaty that was made and go back to sigil of Bohemian kingdom.

Czech ppl: "WE'RE FAMOUS,,
0:48 - that's not today flag, that's first republic flag :-D today flag has top of the blue triangle exactly in 1/2 of flag
Actually according to vlast.cz/vyvoj-ceske-vlajky/ it was altered even before formal acceptance in 1920. It was only the original winning draft where the triangle reached only to 1/3 of the length.
Well I am from Czechia and few of the mentioned things I did not even know! So thanks for telling me more 'bout the flag of my own country :DDD
I live in the Czech Republic 🇨🇿✌️
It's good video!
Actually, The Czech Kingdom was part of Austrian Empire since 1526.
eh it's not accurate ruler of Austria Empire ruled also as Czech king it was independent territory
Im proud to be czech
what a pointless comment...

@@vlastimilzlamal2982 Thanks,I still have problem on grama on english
btw Čau
@@themorfheus34 its ok :-)
@@themorfheus34 yeah I see. Cause it's countries. But no problem Czechoslovakian guy!
Very well done! :) I really admire this videos. Only thing I wonder is that I am more familiar with dividing Czech Republic into Moravia, Silesia and Bohemia (but Czechia makes sense too I guess) :D And I know that english probably doesn't make difference, but the eagle is female - in Czech we call it "orlice" and male is "orel". Otherwise I will recommend this work :)
9:58 YOU SAID BOTH OF IT CORRECTLY! :D That weird letter at the beggining is called ‘Č’ here :d
I'm Czech, nobody but Google Earth calls it Czechia, nobody.
To be quite honest, I started using Czechia too... is it bad?
@@r0seyTh0rnSs it's like calling the American South "the Confederate States". Call Czech Republic what you wish but it would definitely make you stick out to call it Czechia.
Bo Libor Kroupa okay, thank you for telling me about it. I myself am a citizen of the Czech Republic, but I never got any of the politic talks, so I didn’t know about this. Thank you !
Freddy Marcel-Marcum thank you.
@@r0seyTh0rnSsCzechia is perfectly fine and you should feel free to use it. What Bo Libor Kroupa wrote is a complete nonsense. Czechia is a centuries-old name of the country and has nothing to do with Zeman or the Russian language.
8:48 I believe that they didn't put the Slovakia Coat of Arms there cause it have a Cross, and Communist's didn't support Religion.
It actually represented the Slovak National Uprising (Slovenské Národní Povstání in Czech) from 1944 against the german dictate (because 1939-1945 Slovakia was an autonomous fascist country). Indeed communists were against religion, but not entirely. It wasn't supported, but if someone was a christian, nobody would care. Even churches were maintained throughout the 20th century.
During 1948-1960 it was a totally different regime, people were getting arrested for nothing because the propaganda needed some villains to show the society that they're imperialists and should be punished. Even for being a priest. Maybe you've heard about Josef Toufar, a priest who was beaten to death by StB (czechoslovak KGB) because of a faked miracle in his church (they installed a mechanism which would make the cross wobble from side to side). All of this was under the power of Klement Gottwald, who is nicknamed the czech Stalin.
Yes, I think so too.
Yea, and the crown that the lion wears was replaced with a soviet star because Communists were against aristocracy
Okay so many Kingdom Come Deliverance references
since it's a czech game from czech developers, why the crap not :D

"Czechoslovakia" *SLOVAKIA TRIGGERED*
i remember we learned, that:
Red is blood, thus is on the bottom
White is air, this is on the top
and blue are people, thus they are on the side.
2/3 are correct. Blue was really taken from Slovakia flag and is on the side, because they wanted to make some combination of czech and slovak flags, different from 3 stripes of Slovakia.
Nobody: nothing
Češi: also nothing
TH-cam: well lets put that in Czech recommended
