3:58 If you actually wanna know, that is the flag of the Tigray Region. Basically, the Tigray people have historically dominated Ethiopian politics. In 2019, to avoid ethnic nationalism, President Ahmed tried to get all the parties to form one single party. The Tigray didn't join, and claimed his rule illegitimate in 2020 because he postponed the general elections to a year later. Tigray went ahead and did its own election, the government didn't like it, and then fighting ensued when the Tigray attacked military bases. The conflict is still going on. Not a surprise to see a "No-no German" flag in Thailand, considering Thailand once had an alliance with the Axis. Also the school at 4:48 technically isn't wrong, it's not the current flag of Lebanon but it was the flag of Greater Lebanon from 1920 to 1943 under the French mandate
Makes sense they'd want turquoise on the Kyrgyz flag. After all, turquoise comes from the French word turquois which means "Turkish". The Organization of Turkic States flag already has turquoise and so does the Kazakh flag so might as well. The Kyrgyz flag used to have a shade of blue when it was a Soviet Socialist Republic, but it was derived from Pan-Slavic colors. Yes, Pan-Slavic colors...for a flag of the republic of a Turkic group. Smh
I heard rumors that Ataturk also wanted Turkey's flag to be blue/turquoise and a wolf symbol on it but sadly not happened. I need to research about it more probably.
You made geography so interesting and entertaining that in the last two weeks I have learnt all the countries and their flags too. Thanks for inspiring me to start learning stuff again!
The German N@z! Flag could be completely innocent, as in Hinduism it represents the sun and good luck, and is often on doors in India and Nepal. It’s truly a shame it’s reputation has been so ruined.
Would love to see the flags in London video . You could make a series out of it where when you go to different places you could try and find as many flags as u can .
Hey Jack, I have an idea for a new series. So you know how you learned all the countries of the world I was thinking you could do that but instead from a different century (for example 1800s) I think that would be very interesting showing all the different empires and could be somewhat hard because some of those nations are quite obscure.
Hey Jack!! Love your videos! You should play the game called "Flagle"! You have to guess the flag and they give you hints as to how far away your guess is to the country! It's a ton of fun!
(8:35) Scotland is disqualified for not being a country, as in an independent state. It's quite unfair how the British subdivisions often get to be included but no other country with subdivisions called "country" or subdivisions with more autonomy than the British subdivisions. The British subdivisions shouldn't get special treatments.
Never thought I'd see L'manburg on JackSucksAtGeography, but I honestly love it. I think it'd be awesome if you did something with fictional flags at some point
Hey Jack, just finished listening from the Happy Hour podcast that you were on, out of the 50 or so podcasts I have listened to yours was the most enjoyable. Good Job
I’ve been counting flags I see around Philadelphia for about a month, and have seen over 620 us flags including 3 thirteen star flags and 11 thin blue line flags
ive watched a lot of your recent vids a lot lately and i genuinely thought you were some sort of geography expert with an ironic yt username lol so i was really surprised to find your older vids where you still didn't know that much. your vids have really gotten me into geography and seeing how much you knowledge has evolved has really inspired me :)
I am finally early Jack u made me learn all. 197 flags and honestly want to thank you for that and ur vids make me loveeeeee geography when I hate it but no I am obsessed
All of my favorite things combined in one picture that I saw in this video: turkey, horses the color blue and trees. Btw love your videos jack! Keep the great work up!
4:47 If OP isn't from France, then this is a bit of a mixup. That flag is the flag of Greater Lebanon, a French Mandate colony. It used the now iconic cedar on top of the French flag.
8:32 About that, there are some inaccuracies here as the Scottish flag was inspired by a story that happened in 832 AD but wasn't first officially used until the 16th century Also, though it is true that the Austrian flag has been first used in 1230 AD, It has not been continuously used since then, as it has changed a few times until 1945 after the 2nd world war where they readopted the flag. Also, the latvian flag was used unofficially until 1923 when it was officially adopted by the government. This makes the Danish flag the oldest flag in history continuously in use to this day
@@chverxs do not trust google, it is an american company + Google doesn't determine it, the superpowers do + it is not a enumeration because it should be a reasoning -> you’re wrong 😂
