Fun fact Every March 17, Mexico flies the Irish Flag in honor for a group of mostly Irish deserters from the US military to join the Mexican side during the Mexican American War. Those deserters join because they didn’t wanted to fight with fellow Catholics. Sadly, since Mexico lost the war, they were taken back to Mexico City just get hung as the American flag was raised over Castle Chapultepec. As well, on the city where the Captain of the squad was born, the Mexican flag raised on the same day.
Well done! Very good video! The gold-harp-on-a-blue-field dates from the (French) Wijnbergen Roll, c.1280, and some coins minted in Ireland from that time bear harps. Good effort on pronunciation!
It is the harp of the Dagda, look it up, yes Brian Boru played a harp but he lived between 941-1014AD and the harp has been used as a symbol for Ireland long before that.
The 🇮🇪 was given as a gift from three French women to Thomas Francis Meagher on one of his visits to France.. There is a direct relation between the two, our flag is based on the French flag.
@@tectrixir Exactly! Not to mention that falls under the category of "Germany" (and maybe "Polish", because of all the places in Poland that were part of Prussia at one point or another).
As an Irish person I must inform you that Leinster and Connacht be pronounced Lenster and Connocht. They, like most of the Irish language are pronounced differently as they are spelled.
I'm not sure if this is true, but there's a well known legend in Munster that Francis Meagher had four French women design the Irish Tricolour which makes sense considering how similar they both are, and the fact that each colour has a meaning on the Irish and French flags. And also great video :)
Thomas Francis Meagher got the Tricolour as a gift from some French people sympathetic to the Irish cause for freedom, obviously they modeled the layout on their own flag

Nice video as always. One clarification - at 6:20 you discuss the “Commonwealth of England”, saying it was the union of England, Wales and Ireland. However the third flag in there was that of St Andrew (i.e. Scotland). Am I missing something or was he just on holiday ;-P
If you think Ireland has had a lot of flags you're entirely correct, not only are the 4 provincial flags still used today but every county within each of the 4 provinces have their own flags, not to mention other more unofficial flags used in various rebellions by paramilitary groups over the years. We do like a nice flag though. I'd say there's maybe over 40 different flags that each represent at least a part of Ireland.
@@michaelkeating8every single county has a flag, coat of arms and official colours, we have 32 county flags, 4 Provenance flags, the official flag and at least 4 different other important flags in everyday use in Ireland.
Fun fact, the Irish tricolour was designed by a group of French woman sympathetic to Irish nationalism and the Ulster flag was inspired by a legend that claims that two lords were racing each other, whoever placed their hand on Ulster first would become king of Ulster. The one who was losing won by chopping off his hand and throwing it where it landed on Ulster soil thus the red hand on the Ulster flag.
Paraguay is another country that is associated with the harp. However, even though the nation's musical instrument is a harp - it's not depicted on the flag, or coins, as in Ireland, (as far as I know, anyway).
There’s a couple of flags connected to Ireland you forgot to mention, first there’s the Irish republic flag flown during the 1916 rising, the other would be the starry plough or Camchéachta, which was originally used by the Irish Citizen Army.
Thank you so much for making these videos 👍👍👍 My favourite Irish flag is the one with the red saint Patrick cross which is also incorporated in the Union Jack. It reminds me of the Spanish imperial flag.
I think it's exactly the same! Obviously not from the same origin, but the shapes and colors it displays (the red saltire on a white field) seem exactly equal. Thanks for watching!
3:12 Hahaha. Good try. The pronunciations are pretty weird. For Connacht, it’s pronounced Conn-ukt. Munster is pronounced Munn-sterr. Leinster is pronounced Lenn-sterr, and lastly Ulster is pronounced Ull-sterr.
Mighty craic here pall :) As a proud Irish lad I congratulate you for the video, that is grand. Next time invite an Irish person to aid you with the narration in order to pronounce the Gaelic names with more accuracy ;) Eire gu brath Slainteeeeeeee :)

Łukasz Pudzisz yes after World War I the Treaty of Versailles was made with Germany 🇩🇪. The Bolsheviks dissolved the Russian Empire 🇷🇺. Poland was smaller than mordern times. The Weimar Republic was bigger than mordern Germany 🇩🇪.
Ok, I found the source of this map: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Europe-United_Kingdom_(1921).svg It claims that the shown borders are from 1921, which is untrue: www.google.pl/search?client=opera&hs=le7&biw=1600&bih=759&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=AmWWXM_gL9G4kwWm1IaoDA&q=europe+1921&oq=europe+1921&gs_l=img.3..0i19l2j0i8i30i19j0i8i7i30i19.73368.73368..73545...0.0..0.85.85.1......1....1..gws-wiz-img.DTESGQbi1Zw So, it's just ordinary inaccurate map ;)
I'm Irish so I can give u feedback that is useful u nailed some words but not all, maybe if you research the Irish words pronunciations a bit more then you would be dead on laddy
I suppose all Irish people pronounce words from other countries correctly, it's pedantic to criticise a person from another country who mispronounnces our words, Leinster for instance phonetically is "Leenster" because of the "i", give it up for God's sake. A very good account of the origins of our flag but you probably knew it all I suppose.
So which word did I mispronounce the most? Gormfhaith or Leinster?
Leinster is pronounced 'Lenn stair' Gormfhaith is actually 'Gorm Fla' I had a good laugh at Leenster
Lenn ster
Con uct not Corn nach
Mun ster not moon ster mun think of money mun
Definitely Leinster
