Dragons can make anything look cool, that's why the Welsh and Bhutanese flags are the best. Wish China kept their triangular flag with the dragon on it.

In the Brazilian flag, everyone knows that several aspects of the flag were made based on the previous monarchical flag, such as the colors and the overall design, however there is even more similarities thet everyone fails to find it. The main one is that the blue sphere in the flag that represents the globe is actually a rereading of an Armillary Sphere as well; a navigation tool that has been historically present in the brazilian flag and a link to our portuguese heritage.
South Africa united in 1910, the Union of South Africa gained independence in 1934, became a unionist republic in 1961, and was taken over by the ANC in 1994.

As you mentioned Poland... Royal banners of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were interesting in terms of changes, as they included current ruler's coat of arms in the center, and since it was an elective monarchy, there changed quite a lot depending on the noble dynasty that current ruler originated from. Hence, you can see on these banners - depending on the period and dynasty - such familiar symbols as French Fleur de Lys (de Valois), Swedish three crowns (Vasa), or black-green stripes of Saxony (Wettin). The actual flag, however, did not change and contained unchainging coat of arms of PLC in that place.
Thank you.. Great video as always. Out of all Egyptian flags, my favourite is the flag of the kingdom of Egypt - green with with crescent moon & 3 stars.
no. Finland's and Portuguese flags are not connected, besides the similarity. they didn't took the flag from the Portuguese since when that flag came to be Finnish national flag Portuguese haven't used the blue-white flag for a long time. Finland took the flag as an inspiration from other Nordic countries and made cross flag for themselves as well with blue cross representing Finnish lakes and white for snow.
Maybe you should do Mexico next as they changed their flag 8 times for interesting reasons. Maybe even Brazil and Germany (hopefully you don’t get demonitized)
Great video overall, but I am afraid I must correct one mistake. Poland has only one flag, white red bicolor. The one with our national coat of arms is solely the ensign of our Navy and could be legally flown only on warships. However, as our flags are made in China, as is the case with many countries I suppose, the Navy ensign has become used by at various sport events and by general populace during national holidays despite the fact of such usage being completely illegal. The factory staff in China was most likely limited to a Google search, and not a thorough one at it, and the buyers went with the alternative version provided not knowing any better. Fun fact remains, that in the case of war, under Convention of Hague, property, vehicles and personnel such marked is perfectly legal military target, as part of the Navy.
Not sure if anyone pointed this out already, but when you say 'Australia' at 6:14, the flag of Austria appears. Or is this supposed to happen? Just thought to point it out :-) Excellent video though - made me subscribe to your channel!
The Bahraini flag changed to better distinguish itself from Qatar (which it was once in the Trucial states with, along with UAE, hence the similar design but not colour). AND the reason it chose 5 points (down from 9) to the zig-zags is to represent the 5 islands that make up Bahrain. If you look at the flags of each of the 7 UAE emirates, Qatar and Bahrain you’ll see red and white blocks is the main theme. Qatar changed to a deep purple, but the 7 uae emirate flags and Bahrain are all pretty much the same, with slight differences.
South Africa got its orange, white and blue flag in 1928 but became a republic in 1961. And the US Flag evolved from the 1707 British Red Ensign, which was altered by putting white stripes on the ensign to make the Continental Flag, then it evolved into the Stars and Stripes.
General Knowledge: Myanmar last flag looks more like an African flag than an Asian one. Meanwhile in Europe. Lithuania: Well our country does look like the continent of Africa. Maybe it's time to follow the British and move. P.S Myanmar's newest flag is identical to that of Lithuania's just with lighter shades of color and a star in it.

The flag with the lis, for France, was the royal banner/dynastic flag, like the banner with the red lion for Scotland, with the four lions for Wales, with the harp for Ireland and with the three lions/leopards for England. The "national" banner, used by the people, the military and the ships, was the Saint Michel's cross (white on blue), explaining why Quebec has now a flag with a white cross on a blue field. It was that flag that was used in Canada by the French before the British conquest. It's interesting to see that Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, France, Cornwall and Brittany share the common particularity of having, at least by the past for some, a dynastic flag with a heraldic figure and a popular flag with a cross dedicated to a saint (St Patrick for Ireland, St Andrews for Scotland, St David for Wales, St Piran for Cornwall, St George for England, St Michel for France and just the Black Cross for Brittany). In France they are sometimes called "the Seven Crosses of the West". I don't know if there is such an expression in Britain or in Ireland. It's a similarity that I've always found very interesting, knowing how these nations have always been strongly intertwined.
It would be really cool if you did like those alternate fan countries that ahh used to do. that way i could make more than just a flag but a lore behind it and everything.
As a South African I’m fairly sure it was orange and meant to represent the Dutch heritage. I could be wrong however. One thing I know for sure is if you seen flying the old flag in South Africa it’s like walking through Berlin with a swastika. Super not ok!! Our new flag is super cool tho 😎
the red bar on the dutch flag used to be orange, tributing the royal family, but was changed to red when orange paint was too expensive for mass production in the 16th century
Interesting fact about the South Africa flag it was meant to be a temporary flag but was so popular by all they kept it as the permanent flag. It also was designed by the same man that designed the Namibian flag a few years earlier...
The start of change for Canada’s flag came in 1949 with the official change of Canada’s three maple leaves from green to red. In heraldic terms, from living leaves signifying the trinity, to leaves dying and about to fall off.
TheCreaterKeygen not really. Unlike other republics of the country, Russia never really felt being a part of a certain Union cause everyone felt equal without discrimination (in the Russian way of understanding this). At least, that’s what my parents and grandparents told me
Mexico's flags are also very interesting. Most changes are on the national coat of arms, and are linked to the political status of the country (empires, centralist republics, federal republics...)
8:14 I remember when I discovered this flag. It was a provisional flag for the republic, but It lasted just 4 days. The funny thing is the "inspiration" in the USA flag Maybe the country was called "Estados Unidos do Brasil" for this 4 days Nice video, I am brazilian and I am still learning english

In France they are sometimes called "the Seven Crosses of the West". I don't know if there is such an expression in Britain or in Ireland. It's a similarity that I've always found very interesting, knowing how these nations have always been strongly intertwined.
