you know how unstable Afganistan is when even their flag keeps changing

To add context to the Comoros flag: The four stripes added represent the islands of the archipelago, just like the four stars. Yellow for Mohéli, white for Mayotte, red for Anjouan and blue for Grande Comore. Mayotte is a French overseas department but are claimed by the Comoros as theirs. The reason why Mayotte remains French is because the island rejected independence twice in 1974 and 1976. And in 2009, the island voted in favor of becoming a department. Mayotte has a stronger link to France than the rest of the Comoros because they were French for far longer, as it became French in 1841, who repopulated it and made the island a sugar island. The others became French in 1886. The design of the flag of Georgia dates back to the 12th century as a coin of the King David the Builder with it was discovered in late 2021. It also appeared as the flag of Tbilisi on a 14th century map by Domenico and Francesco Pizzigano. The Kingdom of Georgia lasted from 1008 to 1490. After the fight for independence from the Soviets, the flag was used in the early 2000s by the main opposition party, the United National Movement led by Mikheil Saakashvili, as a symbol of popular resistance to Shevardnadze's rule (a rule marked by rampant corruption) as well as a symbol of the Rose Revolution. So when Shevardnadze resigned and Saakashvili won in a snap election, he endorsed the flag.

Afghanistan trying to not change it's flag : 😰🥵

You defintley need to make more of these. I need more flag content in my life.

I have an dictionary for kids from 2006 that has a section for flags of the world and most of the flags showed in this video are there, and back in time Libya's flag always stood out to me and my friends, it is so simple, yet so iconic Also in this dictionary the flag of Angola is the 2003 proposal, it looks similar to Costa Rica's flag, but the red stripe is bigger and it has a sun in the middle, i read that they never used this flag, so i don't know why it's there

Great video! Would you ever make one for 1980-2000?

Some of your best work! Thank you for so much for covering such an informative topic!

7:37 I'm Ecuadorian, and I never knew that my country has changed its flag 😮, there aren't too many differences in the new flag 🇪🇨

I'm Italian, and I completely forgot that, for 3 years, our flag had a different shade of green. To be fair, I was 10 to 13 in those years, so I doubt I would have noticed/cared about it

Afghanistan can't decide which flag to use

Turkmenistan is one of my favorite flags because while I typically like a simpler flag, I make an exception for certain flags that look cool because of it being more complex, and Turkmenistan is one of them. There are five stars on the Turkmen flag to represent both the five regions of the country (Ahal, Lebap, Mary, Balkan, and Daşoguz) and the Five Pillars of Islam. A carpet is on the hoist side to signify the historic Turkmen carpet industry. There are five different designs for the five major Turkmen tribes, which from top to bottom are the Teke, Yomut, Saryk, Chowdur, and Ersari. The olive branches at the bottom were added in 1997 to represent peace as Turkmenistan became a neutral country in 1995. And regarding the East Timor/Timor Leste flag, even though the official flag is supposed to have a slanted star, an interesting fact is the flag flown during the independence ceremony in 2002 had a straight star despite the clear specifications and also had an aspect ratio of 1:2. The East Timor flag was designed by Natalino Leitão (who died when Indonesia invaded) was based off the flag of Fretilin which was the dominant party at the time of their original independence in 1975, and it has been assumed that the flag was also inspired by Cuba and Mozambique as Fretilin had sympathies for FRELIMO and their fight for Mozambique independence from Portugal, and Che Guevara.

I liked these kind of videos keep making these

I'm from Honduras, and I watched the whole vid to see our change not knowing it's the most recent one.😅 I'm glad I I did, though. Such an interesting video.👍👏

In 2023, South Sudan and Kyrgyzstan changed their flags too

Such a great educational video! ❤🎉 Edit: And also I wasn't even expecting a lot of countries to change!

Technically all the ones that just specify the colours don’t count as changes, because they’re retroactively saying that was always what the flag was supposed to look like.

does anyone else like the old 1:2 aspect ratio on the turkmenistan flag? maybe it's just me because i like long flags

To be honest I like the old dark blue on St.Lucia’s better. It dosen’t vaporize my eyes at least.

Let's get this guy to 100k!

I’m exited for this

Fun vid :D Now can you do "Countries Anthem that changed since 2000"???

"How many times would you like to change your flag?" Afghanistan: yes

And now,Kirgystan has changed its flag

the one myanmar (burma at the time) reminded me of taiwan 🇹🇼

The thumbnail is very reminiscent of those 1990s flag websites that used the limited 256 colour palette

I like learning new flags!

have you done/will you do a video of the flag changes of the late 20th century?

Russia is next, to replace the red from below with another white. Oh and Belarus is also next. It will be just like the Austrian flag, but the red and white are in oppisote positions

Awesome!! Great video topic, editing and research. Keep it up! 👍

Great job on this video! For years, I've always wanted such a video like this, and it's finally here! It'd be really cool and nice if you made a similar video for flag changes but from the 1980s to the 1990s! I know it'd be tough with the dissolution of the USSR, but I still would really want such a video like this!

That was very interesting. Great content.

You forgot Bahamas (Flag change: November 27th 2006)

I saw a flag of Myanmar on a book of national countries that uses the older flag. I also saw a flag of france and the name was "french"

Cool video

In 2023 Recently Martinique 🇲🇶 Changed Its Flag

Extras: in 2023, vatican, south sudan and kyrgyzstan changes flags

very nice!

great video, remember me when your super big :)

Very cool

3:43 😮

Never knew about the Italian flag. Interesting!!

Imagine knitting a flag, and then, your flag changed😂 you would be like OH CMON!

Rwanda had an actual R on it 😭 😭

Nice!

Nice

45, most French who are aware of the change (there was no comm on that topic) don't understand why it was changed.

Japan: we use the same flag for 1200 years

Cool cool really cool

What about the independence of Kosovo in 2008 for example?

In 2023, Martinique changes it’s flag from a English shaped Scottish flag with snakes kinda like Georgia to this:🇲🇶 Although it’s not the official flag but it still changed 4 years ago 🇫🇷

Early gang! Edit: I’ve never gotten this much likes-

Finally, someone who actually acknowledges the recent flags that had minor changes

Good video

Will you ever make a level up video?

I can "From this to this" all day

🇭🇳 they haven’t changed the honduras flag emoji yet! Edit: Spelling

Can you upload all changes to national flags in the 20th century? I don't know if you can do it.

6:30 Cyprus didn’t gain independence in 1930 it gained independence in 1960

I know why Kosovo wasn't included... it's because it's not fully recognized yet! I happen to live in a country that recognizes Kosovo (hint: first Slavic country), and I understand why people pretend that Kosovo doesn't exist. But for anyone who recognizes Kosovo's independence, Kosovo initially didn't have a flag of its own yet, but they later adopted a variant of the Albanian flag (with the red star to symbolize socialism), and during the 21st century, leading up to their independence, they used the Serbian flag, until their independence on February 17th, 2008, where they adopted a variation of the first proposal from the June 2007 Kosovo flag contest (the contest version has a blue background, a white country border, and 5 golden stars that are not of equal size, whereas the current version of the flag has the colors of the stars and border switched, and the stars themselves are equally-sized, above the border, and an additional star. The stars represent the major ethnic groups in Kosovo: Albanians, Serbs, Bosniaks, Turks, Romani and Gorani.)

Nice flags

5:07 they removed the stars tho 🇮🇶

Vatican city changed its flag!

I kinda like the new Afghanistani flag but I still love this too 🇦🇫 (I mean the green black and white one with blue writing and gold emblem)

Fun fact: no flags are made out of Dimethyl mercury.

nice

Do evolution of flags since 1980-2000

Denmark: are you changing the flag?

When I was a kid i saw the green flag, i never understood what it was but now 8 years later I finally know

I never knew South Sudan is only 19 days older than me!

Plz do Level Up Indonesia. Sirvijaya Empire (correct me if my spelling is wrong), Majapahit Empire, Dutch East Indies and Indonesia.

Make a level up Czechia, that would be cool

Loved this video! Would love to see the flag changes from every 25 years like 1975-2000 and 1950-1975. Also small note Lesotho is pronounced Lih-soo-too, you don’t pronounce the th like usual and the o’s sound like they do in the word too or two.

Afganistan is like that one discord friend who cant stop changing their profile pic

Epic! Really nothing to say so I'll just leave this comment here

Could you so this for other time period too?

Hey Evan, Kyrgyzstan and South Sudan changed their flags. So could you do an updated version of this video?

Can you do every time in national flag changed during the 20th century?

This is a very good video, can't wait to see more national flag changes from the either the 1900s or just the decades of the 90s specifically the 80s or 90s

can you make the evolution of national flags since 1900 pls?

Amazing im from 🇬🇪🇸🇾

Great video! I didn't know about a lot of these! Small correction when it comes to the flag of South Sudan: The flag shown in the video was never the official flag. The star is not tilted and the cerulean blue is actually cyan (think Saint-Lucia). The flag you've shown is an incorrect variation widely believed to be the official flag until this year due to photographs of flags in South Sudan being very ambiguous (if I remember right)! A few months ago, the government made it clear which version of the flag is the correct one. I think that announcement was made early this year, but it might have happened after the video released.

African flag changes: Let's make it bright! Other countries: DARK Afghanistan: Hello, people. Let me show you my 700th flag change

The government of South Sudan has recently stated that the dark blue triangle on the left (hoist) side of the flag is actually supposed to be a bright, light blue, similar to the new Honduras blue!

6:50 reminds me of something…

I was not aware of all these flag changes.

When I saw this video, I thought, “Who is this guy?” Then once I heard that voice, I was like, “Oh. It’s the Level Up & European Viewer Voting guy.”

Nice video :) I'd like to add that the eighth star added to the Venezuelan flag symbolizing Guayana province is representative of the 2nd time Venezuela declared independence, not the 1st. It's kind of a bummer that it's not referring to the original First Republic in my opinion :/

You forgot one. On February 17, 2008, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia. Also, at 4:52, you’re supposed to say 1990. not 1989.

I don’t know if this counts but Martinique changed their flag in February this year

Coould you please make this for the 20th Century?

Afghanistan is a popstar for people who likes changes flags , they change again and again

Georgia my country❤❤🇬🇪🇬🇪

Most of them are just slightly brighter / darker color or different aspects ratio.

Can you make 1980-2000

nobody: Afghanistan *changes flag everytime* Me: bruh it's Afghanistan again

Now do since 1900 please

Top 10 oldest national football teams! 10 Mexico(1914) 9 Netherlands(1913) 8 France(1911) 7 Wales(1910) 6 Germany(1907) 5 Scotland(1906) 4 Chile(1904) 3 Spain(1903) 2 Argentina(1901) 1 England(1898)

Some of the new flags in late 2023 and 2024 are Kyrgyzstan and South Sudan.

I think we need a sequel to this video by instead of the 2000s to 2020s its the 1970s to 2000s
