Evolution of ALL European Flags Over Last 100 Years (1923-2024)

Oh wow! The flag of Germany was so cool that it inspired half of Europe through out 1939-1944!

Edit 1: You can mention other errors in this comment, I might've left out some. Since I've got so much time, I will point out all the errors: Lithuania wasn't added It's "North Macedonia", not "Northern Macedonia" PRE WW2 1919~1927: Poland's flag has a different shade of red. 1927~1939: The Second Polish Republic changed the shade of red used. 1929: Vatican got their independence in 1929, but the flag was already there since the beginning of the video. 1931~1939: Second Spanish Republic 1939: Bohemia and Moravia was a partially annexed territory of Nazi Germany and had its own flag. 1939: Slovakia was given its state, under a puppet regime of Germany, thus having its own flag. WW2 1940~1941: The British occupied Iceland to prevent it from falling to the Germans. 1940: Vichy France had its own flag, despite under a puppet regime. 1941: Croatia had its own flag as well despite being split into 2 occupation zones. The Independent State of Croatia (which wasn't actually independent) consists of lands of the modern territories of Croatia and B&H. 1941~1943: Montenegro was actually occupied by Italians, later occupied by the Germans when Italy surrendered. 1941~1943: Same goes for Greece, which is mostly occupied by the Italians. 1941: Moldova was actually under Romanian control. [Operation Barbarossa] 1941: Iceland is occupied by the Americans. 1942: Monaco was occupied by the Italians. 1943: Italy surrenders, a new puppet regime is formed. Italy is known as the Italian Social Republic. 1943: Greece, Montenegro, Monaco and Albania are now under Nazi occupation because Italy surrendered. Albania has its own flag though. 1944: By the end of the year, the Soviet troops only entered and liberated the modern day parts of Serbia, Montenegro and FYROM. 1944: Albania was liberated, however I couldn't find a source of the hammer and sickle being on the flag. Wikipedia states that Albania is known as the Democratic Government of Albania. 1944: Most of the Italian Peninsula is under allied occupation, thus changing to the flag of the National Liberation Committee. 1945: Luxembourg isn't liberated until early 1945. 1945: Poland was liberated by the Soviets, they used the flag from before (1927~1939). 1945: Germany is occupied by the British, Soviets, French and the Americans. The flag of allied-occupied Germany should be shown here. COLD WAR 1945~1969: Slovakia should use the Czechoslovak flag. The flag shown was used only after 1969. 1949: The modern German flag is used. [East Germany doesn't have its own representation] 1956~1957: The flag was reverted back to 1946~1956 version. 1975~2021: The French changed its flag to a lighter shade. 1980: The modern Polish flag is used. 1990: Lithuania gained independence before the other soviet republics. 1991: Georgia used a flag similar to 1918~1921 until 2004. 1991: Russia's flag has a lighter shade of blue until 1993. POST-SOVIET ERA 1992: Serbia's flag shown was not used until 2004. 1994: Montenegro's flag shown was not used until 2004 too. 2004: The Serbian flag shown was a standardised version, not used until 2010. 2021: France changed its flag back to the darker version.

In 1992, Bosnia got another flag -a white cloth and a shield in the middle of it, with 6 golden lilies and an oblique white stripe diagonally.And the star-triangular flag appeared in BiH in 1998

Yes. Definetly "ALL" countries. I loved the Lithuanian flags

Funny how, just in 1940, most flags are from only 2 countries

The flag of Spain definitely did not start with that design until 1945. Since 1923 it underwent up to 3 changes until reaching the flag of the Franco dictatorship.

Poland may have been under German occupation, but it never had a Nazi flag, like later under Soviet occupation it did not have the (hammer and sickle) like other countries, the film suggests that during the war Poland was part of the Axis powers while it was on the side of the Allies

Turkey: Hey Switzerland! Want some 🍿? Switzerland: yeah bro... İ like that show

The one in Spain is poorly done. Spain in the 1920s had a round shield without the eagle. In the 1930s it had a shield divided into 4 with a mural crown and a purple stripe on the flag. And from the 40s to the 70s the two-color flag arrived with the eagle on the shield.

Denmark's flag didn't change. It was occupied, not annexed. It's not the same thing.

Turkey: 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

Didn't Georgia have a different flag in the 90s?

Super video❤, thanks!

I find any mistakes 1: Spain Don't use the 1939 flag in 1923 - 1940 stage, Spain used his 1785 - 1931 flag, in 1931 changes his flag to a Red/Yellow/Purple flag 2: Italy in 1945 Don't used his today flag, Italy used the Kingdom of italy flag, he chaneg his flag to today flag in 1946 3: Germany was Occuped in that time , he don't used his today flag, he used other flag , he changed to that flag in 1949 4: Romania not changed flag in 1964, he changed in 1965, 1 year later 5: Bulgaria had the same case liken Romania , not changed flag in 1968, he changed in 1967, 1 year earlier 6: Greece continue using his Greek Junta flag, he changed to actual flag in 1978 7: Serbia used in 1992 a Blue/White/Red flag,not his today flag. The today Serbia flag was used in 2008, not 1992

Did any one else realise he missed the new French flag with a different shade of blue?

Nice video, but didn't france change the shade of blue of its flag in 2021?

There was another flag of Georgia after the Soviet times and also you missed one flag of Macedonia that started the dispute with Greece because they put a Greek symbol on it. - the star of Vergina.

Czechia occupied by nazis from 1939 had own flag (look at Protectorat Bohemia and Moravia). Same Slovakia during 1939-1944/1945 has own flag and did not use svastika.

Montenegro gained independence in 2006 Georgia had this 🇬🇪 in 2004

1:25 They keep changing to a funny shape
