Neat though to be fair one thing I'm surprised isn't mentioned in neither the video itself or any of the many comments is the use of the flag within Denmark and lemme tell ya we use it a lot. Primarily as a symbol of celebration. We put strings of them on our Christmas trees, we decorate birthday cakes with tiny little Danish flags and we use paper flags to greet someone we haven't seen in a long time! The only country I can think of that uses it's flag as much as we do is the United States.
Actually Its Said that The creation and The idea of The Danish flag , was in The viking age, When The danes were conquering country’s!! And when they were killing people they saw a white cloth covered in blood with the same form of the danish flag 🇩🇰 So after that they were using it whenever they were conquering other territories, to symbolize victory and undefeat! And when other country’s saw it (Malta, Portugal etc) they were also using it to also show victory!!!
General Knowledge: The oldest flag is Denmark's flag.. Me: I thought it was Austria. My mum: No, Not Austria or Denmark, It's the Mauritania flag!! Okay!! Me: That got changed like in 2017. so 2 years ago!
Bye the way there are regional flags of the same design such as Skåne (south part of Sweden, which once was Danish) which is Red background with a yellow cross - and others too
Denmark's Flag came from the war approx 1300 And the legend says that the flag came down from the sky. and when we saw it. we won the battle against Estland. so yeee. And BTW im from denmark so thats why i know. and we also have the flag when someone have birthday. or other times!
In my Parrish of Rome there is a grave made by Thorwaldsen, when I said this to Danish visitors they did not get my words. Probably Danish is difficult in pronounciation for a romance speaker.
I've heard in history class that the Danish flag was made when someone put a Christian cross in a white sheet of cloth and someone spilled blood over it.
really well done vid, but i have a couple of things to add ... whats up with u saying "short vid bc there's not much to talk about" after spending a solid 5 min talking about something u could've dived mOre into. i mean u stated it urself, the wolds longes continuing national flag (btw, i thought it was a bit inaccurate that u just called it "oldest flag in the world" bc flags in general have been around since before that. we danes didn't invent the concept of flags it self. we just coined the term national flag. and that's pretty cool i guess 🤷♀️ secondly it's tru that denmark was never a part of the roman impire, but that doesn't mean the the order of the order of knights of the hospital of saint john of jerusalem (latin: ordo fratrum hospitalis sancti Ioannis hierosolymitani) wasn't inspired by the endsign of the roman impire since both the romans and basically all of europe partook in the crusades (including the danes) and it's not unlikely to think that the flag was widely associated with christianity. the legend is actually really interesting form a religious skeptic pov. since it reached the far far past. and while part the happening actually took place (denmark got a national flag as the first nation/country ever and defeated Estonia with the help from the the order of the order of knights of the hospital of saint john of jerusalem (latin: ordo fratrum hospitalis sancti Ioannis hierosolymitani and they wore those cool as outfit's with the flag on the front)) but the flag magically decending from the heavens as a token of gods appreciation of the danes-part ... nah i don't buy it fam. this is how religious formation works tho.
I heard it was made when a guy wearing a white shirt and a cross necklace went to battle and every part of his shirt except for where the cross was, was blood stained.
The flag of Denmark isn't the oldest flag, it is the oldest NATIONAL flag of one country. The flag of the Dutch province Noord-Brabant it selfs is older.
Kalkar Union :( But even today, countries like Norway and Sweden have great relations right? Kinda sad how those Danes would rather conquer more ice than actual green land ;P down south of their border. Then ofc, the whole Holstein-Schleswig shenanigans Also, can you please change Iceland and Greenlands name. Iceland is more green than ice. Vice Veras to Greenland (>o
nope swedes flag are made from it own kinde yhe kross are for christendom and holy things and the blue for a weapon from an old king and much more but danmakr have own sweden but sweden always haded danmark sweden and danmark have been at 16 wars ower 400 years
Sweden was really a small province of Denmark for quite some time, back then. The parts that wasn't forests with dots of savages, that is ;-). Why shouldn't the Swedish flag have taken form after the Danish...

Better you pin me, had the best joke in this comment section
Tecnically we could go on forever, with regional flags, city flags, coats of arms, football club flags!
General Knowledge Do Fun with Coat of Arms as well!
Most likely

The danish vikings had a flag, the raven banner. It is a black raven on a red background.
the cool thing was that we were about to lose the battle, but then Dannebrog fell from the sky and denmark won the battle!
You forgot to mention the danes influence on Englands flag (not UK) being white background with a red cross :-)
Yes i. Danish and i hate they two flags is copy a nother!
No, English took their flag from the Republic of Genoa. 🏴
i don't blame Greenland for saying "Screw you Denmark" with it's flag.
Lol, det way ur saying Dannebrog. I luv it ;)
As always great video! Keep on, i am curious what country will you do next?

The house of Savoy took part in the second crusade, and they adopted the same flag after 1148.
Danish was adopted after 1219.
Danish: Jeg er dansk og jeg giver denne episode et 10 ud af 10.

Did you get this series idea form Knowledge Hub, Because he said in a video “if there was a show called “Fun With Flags, I’d watch it”
I got it from the Big Bang Theory! Didn't know Knowledge Hub talked about that, do you have a link to the video?

Thought relatively simple, the flag of Tunisia is something you really need to research about :)
i love it when people say ‘dannebrog’ wrong... it’s just.
*too funny*
In my Parrish of Rome there is a grave made by Thorwaldsen, when I said this to Danish visitors they did not get my words. Probably Danish is difficult in pronounciation for a romance speaker.
It doesn't really mean the "The Flag Of the Danes" more like "The Cloth Of the Danes" as in Danecloth

@@magnusorn7313 you might be right, also it doesent trigger me that much, I was just over exaggerating, I do not really care very much
I’m danis jeg er dansk
The Roman empire was alive when they made this flag !

The flag of Denmark isn't the oldest flag, it is the oldest NATIONAL flag of one country.
The flag of the Dutch province Noord-Brabant it selfs is older.

Giving the flag different symbolism doesn't mean it isn't inspired.
Do you realise how hard it is to read the comments with such a terrible grammar?
