Imagine the Philippines coming up to you and you think they're trading something, then you realise the fact you forgot that the flag was upside down, and they have already raided some of your land.
The Philippines war flag is basically the same flag. Just upside down. That's actually quite smart since a lot of us (except for the ones that know) probably can't tell the difference.
To explain the Philippine war flag. Red stripe- Valor, Patiotism Blue stripe- Peace, Justice Now, if the country is at peace, the blue stripe should be on top of the red stripe. If the country is at war, the red stripe should be on top because red symbolizes valor. It's simple yet meaningful imo.

i can’t be the only one who read the words from the vietnamese war flag as “quite thang” i immediately thought of the song that goes like “SUCH A WILD THANG, DU NU NU NU NU”
1:50 You know, the "old Japanese war flag" is not a war flag at all. It's the flags of their army and navy, with the two flags being nearly identical, just with the sun on the naval flag shifted slightly to the left. They're still in use, by the way.
That symbol literally comes from their religious and cultural background. Amaterasu the first mythical god and it is said to be its godmother of the Japanese emperor was drawn in front of the rising sun representing the land of the rising sun.
@@goofyrockz356 Bruh I think he is referring to the old Glorious German empire flag, not the swastika. Everyone knows the Germany iron cross on the German empire is beautiful.
3:35 I am Korean, and that flower is the national flower of Korea called 'Mugunghwa.' And the pattern in the middle, like the Pepsi logo, is called "Taegeuk," meaning that life develops due to the harmony of yin and yang.
Dieppe Raid wasn't a loss though. It specifically was there to test equipment and german defences for D-day planning, there wasn't any follow up planned. If it had somehow "won" and achieved a permanent beachhead on french coast, then it would have been VERY awkward moment in history because like I've already mentioned, no follow up landings or reinforcements were planned and UK had neither people, nor equipment to exploit it.
@@christianwachs3963 "ho sorry I misheard him, your right." Wdym, I'm the first one to tell you that. And the Russian civil war wasn't loss, because Canada wasn't officialy involved, they just offered help.
Nodzerg Horde really? In 2001 PM koizumi wrote apology letters to Korean, Taiwanese and Filipino comfort women. The Japanese government also set up the Asian women’s fund and compensated 2 million yen for each woman. I’m surprised there’re still problems between two countries
I mean the Turkish flag is a crest and a star on a red background. The origin of the red comes from the fallen ones. Literally the flag is a bloodstain with symbols on it.
Not only that but the flag of Latvia as well. The story behind the Latvian flag is that a chief fell during battle and he was placed on a white cloth and when he bled out, his blood coloured the cloth red, but the place where his body was stayed white and they later went to a battle with this red-white-red flag (a specific colour of red is used called carmine red.) And the flag firstly is mentioned in the 13th century, making it one if the oldest flags in use today.
In second grade, we were doing a project about any country in the world and I chose the Philippines because I am Filipina. I drew the flag correctly but glued it upside down because I didn't know it was technically a war flag. And since it had been glued for a day and I can't redo, it stayed like that
@@Malo-TheFlyingFrenchman same reason for Ukraine, we don't want to declare war (although it already exists), the reason is simple - we didn't start it.
In case anyone wondering, the eight one on Chinese war flag means August 1st, the date when their red army was formed. They also use this eight one symbols on their old tanks and airplanes (often accompanied by a star) sadly these seemed to be out of fashion recently.
For the Chinese war flag, "八一" actually means "August 1st" (in Chinese we just call August as "the eighth month"), because the PLA is originated from the red army of China, which was founded in 1927.08.01, from the Nanchang uprising.
The German State flags in the style of Japanese Prefecture flags actually was super awesome and made the graphic designer in me VERY happy. You wanna know why? Flags are _supposed_ to be simple and easy to read, and ALL of those were, and they are not as simple as one might think. Condensing the essence of a geographical area's history into a simple symbol takes an immense amount of thought. I love design experiments like this one. My home state in the US has a very simple but striking flag, a crimson saltire upon an ivory field... which is to say, a big red "X" on white.
the German state flags need no condensation. they use traditional heraldry of their region. even if they combined several historic states or tribes into one.
Another part of graphic design is knowing about reference and connotation, like... when that crimson saltire on an ivory field looks a bit confederate 😂
12:44 Those symbols are an arrow, representing war and an olive branch representing peace. It's found on the seal of the United States, in the talons of the Eagle. The Eagle's head is turned left, towards the olive branch, representing its preference for peace. As such, in this flag, the olive branch is above the arrow, showing our preference for peace. Now if we can just start to act like it it would be a fantastic design.
fun fact: the desk that the president sits in has a board in front of the president's feet. This is because FDR didn't want people to see his wheelchair. The initial board was fashioned with the Eagle's head toward the arrows bc of WW2, but it has since been changed to the normal US seal. The desk was given to the US in 1880 because a US whaling boat found the HMS Resolute abandoned and in disrepair floating around the arctic (there is a further story there). After painstaking repairs, the Resolute was sailed back to England with an American crew in 1856. When the ship was decommissioned, timbers were taken from it and formed into a desk, thus the desk is called the Resolute desk and is a symbol of American-British cooperation for the past 150 years.
5:44 As a Montenegrin native and one who spends each summer in the country, I can confirm (in fact, I’m currently in the country). On the ride from an airport in Podgorica to a neighboring city, I always see the national flag in many places in a rectangular manner hanging from walls or street poles. Yeah, we like our flag a lot!
I've been to Montenegro, and I've been to the US, and I can tell you - whoever you are, and as much as you love your flag, you will never love it as much as the Northern Macedonians love theirs. An to be fair, it is an awesome design.
(4:10) Some of the flags are incorrectly presented. The reason why the circle is squished is because the image is normally wider, but forced into a different aspect ratio. You can see how poorly it's handled for some flags having black borders.
"八一" or "eight one" as you called it actually stands for the first of August. We call August 八月 which literally translates to "the eighth month". On the first of August 1927, an armed uprising occurred. This uprising marks the formation of Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army which was later renamed as Chinese Red Army, and the Chinese Red Army is the predecessor of the People's Liberation Army. Therefore, the 八一 is not just some random characters we put on our war flag, it means something. One suggestion, if your are going to make vedios about flags, do it slowly and research about them. Flags and badges are not like brand logos or stuffs which can be explained casually. Flags and badges is a lot more than a symbol, especially when they represent a country.

The fact that the philipines war flag as a normal one but upside down is probably where the don't flip the philipines flag meme came from.

The German State flags in the style of Japanese Prefecture flags actually was super awesome and made the graphic designer in me VERY happy. You wanna know why? Flags are _supposed_ to be simple and easy to read, and ALL of those were, and they are not as simple as one might think. Condensing the essence of a geographical area's history into a simple symbol takes an immense amount of thought. I love design experiments like this one. My home state in the US has a very simple but striking flag, a crimson saltire upon an ivory field... which is to say, a big red "X" on white.
the German state flags need no condensation.
they use traditional heraldry of their region. even if they combined several historic states or tribes into one.
Prussia
Another part of graphic design is knowing about reference and connotation, like... when that crimson saltire on an ivory field looks a bit confederate 😂

"Flag of U.S.A. in the style of Venice"

12:44 Those symbols are an arrow, representing war and an olive branch representing peace. It's found on the seal of the United States, in the talons of the Eagle. The Eagle's head is turned left, towards the olive branch, representing its preference for peace. As such, in this flag, the olive branch is above the arrow, showing our preference for peace. Now if we can just start to act like it it would be a fantastic design.
fun fact: the desk that the president sits in has a board in front of the president's feet. This is because FDR didn't want people to see his wheelchair. The initial board was fashioned with the Eagle's head toward the arrows bc of WW2, but it has since been changed to the normal US seal. The desk was given to the US in 1880 because a US whaling boat found the HMS Resolute abandoned and in disrepair floating around the arctic (there is a further story there). After painstaking repairs, the Resolute was sailed back to England with an American crew in 1856. When the ship was decommissioned, timbers were taken from it and formed into a desk, thus the desk is called the Resolute desk and is a symbol of American-British cooperation for the past 150 years.
Way better of an explanation than mine.. good work

5:44 As a Montenegrin native and one who spends each summer in the country, I can confirm (in fact, I’m currently in the country). On the ride from an airport in Podgorica to a neighboring city, I always see the national flag in many places in a rectangular manner hanging from walls or street poles. Yeah, we like our flag a lot!
Hey, what town you live in? Im from Budva (Budva, Montenegro)
I just came from montenegro, i was in bijelo polje
I've been to Montenegro, and I've been to the US, and I can tell you - whoever you are, and as much as you love your flag, you will never love it as much as the Northern Macedonians love theirs. An to be fair, it is an awesome design.
(4:10) Some of the flags are incorrectly presented. The reason why the circle is squished is because the image is normally wider, but forced into a different aspect ratio. You can see how poorly it's handled for some flags having black borders.

"八一" or "eight one" as you called it actually stands for the first of August. We call August 八月 which literally translates to "the eighth month".
On the first of August 1927, an armed uprising occurred. This uprising marks the formation of Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army which was later renamed as Chinese Red Army, and the Chinese Red Army is the predecessor of the People's Liberation Army. Therefore, the 八一 is not just some random characters we put on our war flag, it means something.
One suggestion, if your are going to make vedios about flags, do it slowly and research about them. Flags and badges are not like brand logos or stuffs which can be explained casually. Flags and badges is a lot more than a symbol, especially when they represent a country.
Thank you

5:02 It reminds me of a situation that hapenned recently at my school. Basically there was a symbolic display of our country's flag at the end of the school year for final grades. The thing is students hung it upside down. So instead of Poland's flag we had Indonesia's or Monaco's flag🤦♂️
7:05 fun fact: this flag shown was flown on the back of a ship!
Extra fact: I totally did not hear this from Idksterling
That "eight-one" on China's war flag means "the 1st day of the 8th month", because the PLA was established on August 1st.
If so, wouldn't it be 1/8?
