Flags That Got WORSE With Time... 

10:11 Drew: I don't know if I'm allowed to show the nono american flag. Literally shows it fully merely 10 seconds later

I miss the Prussian flag tbh it's simple but it's rlly pretty to look at at the same time, plus the blend of white and black makes it look so good

"just needs italy, and the bois are back in town!" legit had me laughing for like 10 mins

I could pay some serious money just to see Drew try to pronounce the names of the Brazilian states, or just states of the world in general

10:11 "I cant show that" Literally 10 seconds later...

5:30 Basically India, Pakistan & Bangladesh just continued to use the designs from the British Raj era in their military flags but only replaced the Union Jack with their own flags & the emblems of UK with their own emblems. India recently changed it's naval flag.

The green in the Portuguese flag represents hope, since "green is The colour of hope" (at least its what they told us at school) and the red represents the blood of all the Portuguese heroes that died during the battles that Portugal had during his rising. 🇵🇹 Great video BTW. Hope my English is understandable. 🙏🏽

Okay, there are plenty of reasons as to why Portugal no longer uses the old white and blue flag, but for the sake of simplicity, I'll point out the two obvious ones: 1. Portugal is no longer a monarchy; king Carlos and his eldest son, Luís, were assassinated on 1st of February 1908, while the Royal family was passing by Terreiro do Paço, in Lisbon, which led to the youngest, Manuel II, taking charge. 2. The green and red are the colors of the republican party, whose leaders eventually overthrew the monarchy, in 5th of October 1910, forcing Maunel II and his mother, Maria, to flee to the United Kingdom and ending his short-lived two-year rule as the last monarch of Portugal; this would end up only being another phase of the huge political, social and economic instability that the country had been suffering over the last few decades and which would worsen even more in the following ones. If Portugal were to ever bring back the old white and blue flag, the monarchist party would have to win the elections, but it's very unlikely it will ever happen.

Pitition for drew to put the German empire the Austrian empire and the Russian empire flag next to the Poland flag for no reason at all (Day 4)

5:42 Its settled everybody: Estonia can INDEED into nordic

10:52 The Germany Flag with the Crest ontop is not the Holy Roman Empire Flag, but the German Bundeswehr Flag. The Crest is just the Official Crest of Germany. The Holy Roman Empire had also a Double Headed Eagle.

Ah yes casually calling the German flag with coat of arms the Holy Roman Empire

I noticed that about the US, they like putting the Australian flag in so many random places. I think it's because they don't like the British. But Australia is more like a younger brother that they do like.

11:02 That's one of the Donetsk People's Republic flags.

"Why is there a square in the middle of Brazil?" -someone I don't know

as far as i know the white in flags represents the monarch of the country, and when portugal had a revolution in 1911, they changed the flag because they abolished the monarchy

I love how WW1 sounds way longer than world war 1

Petition to Drew put Flag of the Portuguese Monarchy on the background 🇵🇹 (Day 1) PORTUGALC4RALHO!

In case anyone was wondering, the reason why London didn't have a flag between 1986 and 2001 is because the city lacked a single local government/council during that period. The Greater London Council was formed in 1965 but abolished in 1986 due to a combination of being perceived as a ineffective/a waste of money (sometimes fairly, sometimes unfairly) and party politics (the GLC was run by the "loony-left", while Margaret Thatcher was the UK's Prime Minister). In 2001, the Greater London Assembly was established which served a similar purpose but has far greater budgetary restraints and also a new flag.

1:42 Is the Walmart version of Kiribati 💀

11:03 As a Chinese who can understand Russian, the flag indicates Донецкая Народная Республика, that's Donetsk People's republic, one of the Russian republics in Donbass, I'm pretty sure that's the coat of arms

Petition for drew to put a Portuguese flag it the background day1

10:03 That's the anarcho-syndicalist flag.

petition for drew to put up the Austro-Hungarian empire flag (day 1)

Portugal adopted the last flag when it turned into a republic. Creators wanted to get rid of everything that reminded people of the monarchy

Petition for Drew To put up The Flag of Poland next to the Qing flag in the background [Day 11]

The last one had that I recognised and what Drew didnt were: 4 Ukraine flags and 2 Donetsk Republic flags.

The German flag with coat of Arms isn't the flag of the Holy Roman Empire. It's just the normal flag with the coat of arms, which is used for some govermental buildings

Americano vendo as fronteiras dos estados do Brasil: estranho, pensei que todas as fronteiras eram uma linha reta igual nos Estados Unidos... Isso se chama fronteira natural, amigo.

Petition for drew to put up the Vatican flag: day 3

The green and red in Portugals banner represent Hope and Blood, this was after they overthrew the monarchy . The blue was simbolic for the kings ( Royal people have blue blood myth)

9:49 Thanks for reminder of an older enemy of mine who used that blue stripe one.

The black blue and red is Donetsk People’s Republic (Russian Ukraine)

Petition for Drew to put a flag of Yugoslavia (Post WW2) next to the Qing flag in the background (Day 40)

10:52 that's just the modern federal flag of Germany. It's a current flag for the federation. It's illegal for the common man to fly it since it's strictly for state business. It's not anything to do with the hre

Im portuguese, to answer the question " I did portugal put green and red" is : green represents the hope of one day getting liberty ( because we got rid of the kings) and the red for the blood we lost to get that fredoom. Lmao

6:46 The reason is even sadder imo, they added green and red because those were the colours of the republican party at the time. It was meant as a loud "we´re different now" message, and it just stuck till today

8:31 Yemen: *Allow me to introduce myself.*

10:03 The black and red flag is the anarcho-communist flag, if Im not wrong (sorry if I am, Im trying my best) :)

Petition to make Drew put the Mongolian empire flag in the background(Day One)

1:26 I found something that looks like Italian flag but why does it feel familliar

10:53 the fact that drew said the HRE made me cry. Wiemar baby

3:20 They should put the Angola flag for Portugese, piss both sides off

I like the Australian Red Ensign. It was used by the Merchant Navy, but was sometimes flown by civilians.

Well... with my design, the thumbnail is wrong

11:20 i laughed so hard

6:01 Finland, Denmark and Sweden

0:52 Work and Trust*

The Nordic Lithuanian flag be looking like the Minecraft double chest on Christmas

Mine definitely isn't bad

Portugal uses green and red because in the creation of the republic(was bc of that that we changed) the 2 main parties were red and green..

(2:50) There's already an English flag, the flag of England. But if you want a flag for the English language, it shouldn't be based on a national flag.

1:36 but that’s kiribati!

Drew casually confusing the German federal ministries/chancellor coat of arms with the HRE coat of arms... never change Drew, never cange...

Oh hello Drew, hang a flag of Singapore in the back if you’re a chad.

1:51 Londoff

Im flabbergasted that Drew actually mentioned the name of my state lol

so you said that this one flag is a flag of the holy roman empire but it's actually just a german flag with the coat of arms, wich you see more often than the flag of the HRE in germany

My mind just began melting when drew called the weimar republic the holy roman empire

1:58 London when Londoff walks in

I like the new Portugal flag more and the old and I m from Portugal

Drew when it's 80 years : "almost a hundred years" Drew when it's 110 years : *"111 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 16 hours, 25 minutes, 42 seconds, 638 milliseconds"*

3:18 it could make sense Like the English flag has the Originator and the Largest speaker Same could be for the Portugese flag: Originator(Portugal) And Largest Speaker(Brazil)

Don’t forget guys that we have to protect Drew on December 27th, 2022

Should I explain it? Ok, I think I'll explain it. So, Portugal in 1910 had a civil war between republicans and monarchists, the palace of the king was bombarded by the ship ''Lusitania'', causing the overthrowing and exile of the king, ending the monarchy forever. Portugal decided NOT to ''show their old colors'', so a flag change was needed, if you do want to see a flag like this, check out the flag of the Porto football team flag.

Petition for drew to put up a Mauryan Empire flag in the background (Day - 1)

5:05 wait until Drew finds out that the Portuguese Air Force flag is literally the Templar Cross

Aww yeah a banger video by drew after coming home from school

Green is to represent the land we conquered, red is for the blood we spilled for that land

8:20 you could use the 13 stars as 13 commonwealths of the USA, like the Fallout's version of the US Flag

It’s green and red 6:24

The colors of the revolutionary government that overthrew the monarchy in Portugal was green and red. They decided to combine green and red with the crest

9:43 I live in Corado and I can approve these are the flags being flown

Hello, Mate. Nice Video so far. Just a little mistake in here: the second German flag with the German eagle at 10:54 is not the one of the Holy Roman Empire, it's the Bundesdienstflagge, which is used by state officials like the Kanzler or by the Bundeswehr (German Army). :)

Thanks for talking about central Kansas

Lots of Portugal in this video and I love it

Red, yellow, green are the colours of carnaval in Limburg (Belgium and Netherlands) and Rheinland (Germany)

I'm pretty sure the Portuguese colour swap happened after the monarchy ended. Which is also why the crown is gone.

Asking Drew to put the flag of Turkmenistan 🇹🇲 on his wall Day 3

The state of Amazonas' population is very concentrated in the few urban centers. More than half the population live in the state capital of manaus (about 2,3 MM). Only 9 other cities have more than 50k inhabitantes and none above 200k.

Ok, you haven't mentioned It but i will, brasilian's "modern" flag is beautfull, however, the Empire flag is fantástic! I mean... If you put those flags together, you will see what im talking about, it's like you have two pretty things, but is so clear that one can overcome the other!

Day 2 of telling drew to put up the Lebanese flag

Hey Drew, could you do a video of you ranking us city flags.

10:58 The Reason that the Soviet flag is on that list is because there is hanging one of the last Soviet flags in a museum at checkpoint Charlie. I know because i went to holiday in Berlin.

"And big thanks to my patreons: Drew I'm stalking you and will kidnap you December 27th, 2022" that just broke me 💀

@4:02 I didn’t know Kansas was made of small colorados

Brazilian here, some state flags that we have here are really bad, for example, the state of piauí, which has a DATE.

2:46 Why not just use the English flag to represent English? Don't "English" and "English" sound kind of similar? ⬜⬜⬜🟥⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟥⬜⬜⬜ 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥 ⬜⬜⬜🟥⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟥⬜⬜⬜

You should do a video about making alternate flags for countries using AI, I think that would be funny.

As a Portuguese, I think the "new" flag is ugly (in my opinion), not only stetically (doesn't follow heraldry, because you can put two colours like that next to each other), but also symbolically. Green and red where never the the colours used to represent Portugal. In 1910 a coup change the regime to republic and they for some reason decided to use the colours of the Carbonari, shady organization that wanted a union between Portugal and Spain. So basically the current flag represents Portugal as a Spanish province.

Hey drew, thanks for always making entertaining informational videos which I love watching so keep up the good work😊

Drew the green color on the portuguese flag means hope and the red on the background means the blood that was needed to become a republic. Thats why there is more red than green in the flag

bro didn't knew Brazil had states 💀💀

5:09 Translation for non-bengali speakers Bangladesh → বাংলাদেশ Air Force → বিমান বাহিনী The sky of Bengal will remain free → বাংলার আকাশ রাখিব মুক্ত

The West German flag was really good

I like the Monarquist Portuguese Flag, in my opinion is Better than the new one * Angry Portuguese noises

9:03 How Dare You Not Mention Guatemala

Hey, I'm from Portugal! The coulor green in our flag represents the hope of the people :)

Looking foward for December 27th 2022

The Quebec flag on the last picture could be from right next to the Brandenburg gate
