Fun fact about the Liechtenstein flag change

The reason they changed the flag was because of hati, durring the 1936 Olympics in Germany. They realized that hati had the same civil flag as them, so to avoid confusion, a year later, they put a crown at the top to make it easier to tell the difference.

There are many inaccuracies in this
1.From 1945-1949 Germany had a Costa Rica style flag
2.Many german vassals like the ISR or Slovak Republic did have their own flag
3.Italy didn't remove their CoA until after the monarchy was abolished

[PintoBeans]

My favorite flag change was Liechtenstein. Clearly their government wanted to create a new, rich, and vibrant design that contrasts their old one. Easily one of the craziest changes.

That video chose to completely ignore 2 flag changes in Spain I see. From the monarchy to republic and from republic to the Franco regime. Such a well researched video.

[Orthane]

There's a few things wrong though, Spain obviously, but also Italy and Slovakia. Italy in 1943 became the German Puppet State, The Italian Social Republic with a different flag, and Slovakia was an autonomous Satellite State of Germany (Similar to Warsaw Pact Nations during the Cold War) and had their own flag.

The thing about Poland after German invasion is, it was a Reichskommissariat called "Generalgouvernement", while the Soviets only annexed the Polish lands into Byelorussian and Ukrainian SSRs

[maxthetube]

3:05 well the Soviet part of Poland was integrated into Belarus and Ukraine

4:35 *I agree with Drew! It would be nice if it started even in 1900 because then you would see a lot of key moments, especially the breif independance of Ukraine in 1918! It would require some work, but it would be worth it!*

Idk who made this video but i recomend him to check his knowledge in Spanish history

[cabra]

As a Hungarian, I cried. Such beauty our frag is yes, but almost every head of the state made a new flag for us.

There are many mistakes with the former Yugoslav countries:
1. Macedonia had a flag featuring the controversial Vergina Sun from 1992 to 1995, and it was only changed to the modern one in 1995.
2. SR Serbia only removed the red star from its flag in 1992, while the modern serbian flag was adopted at the time of Serbia and Montenegro, in 2004.
3. The Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) had a different flag from the modern one, and that flag continued to be used even after the Dayton agreement (1995), until its change to the modern flag in 1998.
4. Just like the modern Serbian flag, Montenegro also adopted their modern flag in 2004, not 1994.

10:47 Greek flag changed to the darker junta colours in 1967 not 1970

[krekolos]

The flag of Czechia and Slovakia during WWII is incorrect, Czechia (protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia) used tricolor from top to bottom White, Red and blue, and Slovakia used White, Blue and Red.

[Aaaleatøry_content]

Mistake : France had an axe on his flag during WW2

[studiosraufncingr]

12:35
little mistake, Slovenia got the new flag in 1991 not 1992

[Dac_DT_MKD]

4:19 shouldn't it be the Bulgarian flag for Macedonia
4:26 It should be the Ustase flag

[dummerbulblin]

Is no one gonna talk about why Abkhazia is included as country? Frankly I've never seen the flag of this region anywhere...
I mean it's basically just an autonome terretory in Georgia only recognised by Russia, Venezuela, Nicuaragua and Nauru

[madtownbbbear]

Not sure if anyone has already mentioned the mistake with the flag of Georgia, but their current flag with the red crosses on the white background was not adopted until 2004 and before that their flag was predominantly red with white and black rectangles in the upper left portion of the flag.
Serbia & Montenegro stayed as Yugoslavia until 2003 when it changed its name to Serbia & Montenegro until their split in 2006.

[Siddusssss]

I love how at the end of the video, the recommended pop up videos point out a mistake, that Georgia had a different flag when first independent in 1991
