Yellow = House of Habsburg Green = House of Braganza The story of gold and forests was created by the republic to decouple the image of the flag with the monarchy.

I think the Brazilian Flag is one of the most beautiful flags out there in terms of color choices, composition, and aesthetics. Love from PH.

Pedro IV in Portugal but Pedro I in Brazil, obviously!

The Brazilian flag shows that a flag can have text and still be appealing.

"Son! Come Home!" "Nah Dad, I Like It Here In Brasil, So INDEPENDANCE!"

Just one correction, the yellow diamond does not represent the gold, but the house of the wife of D Pedro I, Empress Leopoldina of the house Hasburg from Austria. Nice job :D

I've always loved this flag. It's a beautiful design.

I love the Brazilian Flag it is immensely beautiful! ❤🇧🇷❤

Great video! Just one thing. The same people that defend Green colour represent House of Bragança, say also that Yellow represent House of Habsburgo-Lorena. The House of Queen Leopoldina :)

It is important to tell that the position of the star is the exactaly position of the sky in the night of November 15th (Republic Inauguration). Everytime a new state is formed, the have to contact astronomers to find a star position to place in the flçag. Also, the perspective of the star is from "God's point of view" that´s why all star looks inverted.

Again. What a good video !

Chamando todos os Brasileiros que acompanham esse magnífico canal norte americano. Brasil é tão zueiro que no primeiro dia de república se chamava "Estados Unidos do Brasil (EUB/USB)" Imagina, os norte americanos chamando o brasil de USB kkk (USB, entrada mais usada para dispositivos eletrônicos).

Very well done man! Thoroughly explained and cited. Brazil's flag is truly one of the most beautiful!

Actually, there are four states that have part of their territories above the equator line. Pará, Roraima, amapá e Amazonas.

Nice content! Keep it up!

Another amazing video! Keep going!

The Pará State is not the only one up the Equador line, but have this star to show his importante to the brazilian culture, once all brazilian Amazonia was inside the Gran-Pará State "Estado do Grão-Pará" today divided trough numerous states in the North Region of Brazil, the some of the constelation also represents a Region itself, like the Soutern Cross for example, Thanks for reading this rusty english and make more videos !

The king of Portugal, D. João VI, didnt send a letter asking for Pedro returning. D. João was who left Pedro in Brazil, and adviced him to do the independence in case of instability. Who did send the letter was the Portuguese Parlament, that stealed the powers of the king João and was angry with Pedro actions in Brazil.

love this! continue to do more videos, they are so educational!

Each star represents a specific state. I'm from the State of Sao Paulo, represented by the lower star in the Southern cross constelation

Thank you so much for doing these videos, I'm loving learning all these interesting things about flags! Keep up the good work! :D

Produce More Videos.I for some reason love this channel!

Beautiful flag 😍

Great video! Keep it up

nice video Sheldon Cooper. You have a different voice used in "Big Bang Theory" :P

Fantastic channel, great content. Ive just subscribed and Im looking forward to more stuff, keep it up!

Ótimo vídeo. Poderias fazer um com as bandeiras dos estados do Brasil, feito fizeste com os da Alemanha. Abraços. 🇧🇷❤🇵🇹

If you want, I can translate your videos to brazilian portuguese, just allow the community contributions :)

you forgot to mention that the yellow also represents the old austrian yellow and black flag of the Habsburg family, cause Pedro´s wife was a Habsburg

as a Brazilian I think you did an amazing job doing this video... so congrats

Eu invoco... os BRs!! HEUHUHEU

The Absburgo house mentioned in the comments as family of Empress Leopoldina is the same of the last Queen of France, Marie Antoniette which was executioned in the French Revolution

Brazil flag is legendary, they could ve just placed stars for each state like in US flag, but they made it as constellations, and one state across the equator above the line too🤯, so much meaning and effort was put in this design. Thats probably my favorite flag ever🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Nice one! Enjoying the history of the flags so far. Maybe you should do one about crosses in flags, in general, you'd get A LOT of flags done at the same time hahaha Like a Scandinavian cross edition.

great video, I am brazilian and didn't know which state was represented by the star above the white stripe, funny because Pará or Grão-Pará used to be a much larger state that took up pretty much all the northern amazon part of brazil but now it has splitted creating more states above the Equador

great videos!! please keep posting!

cool video, keep it up!

I see a lot of portuguese-like names but I don't know if I should comment in portuguese or not.

Amazing channel you got going over here!

I love when Pará is quoted somewhere haha Cool video!

And again, another great video! Great quality has always!

Fun fact: Pedro II was only 5 years old when become a king, and began take leadership around 14 to 16.

This is great!

Quem ama América como eu like no meu comentário

Great job!

Thanks. this is awesome information!!!!

Portugal's flags video was sooo good, I expected something better in that, but is okay. I will make some corrections. The yellow means the house of Habsburg 'cause the queen of Brazil was from Austria, was Debret who made, inspiration was a Napoleonic flag These change of flag in 1822 was because they change the king. We had two kings. Pedro the first, and Pedro the second :P When we became a republic, we had a lot of options to be Brazilian flag, and the flag who wins was that, but the another options became flags of the states of Brazil, at time. If u look, u will find a lot of brazilian's states flags who remember US flag in 3 kinds of colors. Green/yellow, to remember the Brazilian monarchy. Red,blue and white, just a copy of US (actually meaning the republican ideals). And black, red and white, cause the major ethnicity of Brazil (red are indigenous people). The richest state In Brazil, São Paulo for example, use a US-model flag with 13 strips black/white and a symbol of all country in the upper right. Side not, if u want to know. Maranhao, São Paulo is US flag with ethnic colors Goias, Sergipe, Piaui is US flag with monarchy colors Bahia, Amazonas and Santa Catarina is just a copy of US flag (look old Santa Catarina flag to understand) Ceara and Mato Grosso don't follow us copy movement cause they don't like the republican movement, they like the monarchy Para and Parana use the flag of Republican Party of they own state Rio de Janeiro, rio grande do Norte and Alagoas had the inspiration in the owns states flags in the monarchy era Rio grande do sul, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Paraiba and Acre flags had inspiration in revolution movements in they own territory Other states are just new and don't have nothing cool in the history of flag :)

You deserve alot more subscribers. Tu mereces muito mais subscritores.

The yellow is from the asutrian monarchy of habusburg, dom Pedro's wife was a habusburg from Austrian

Hey, the yellow part of the imperial flag actually represents the House of Habsburg, the dinasty of the empress Maria Leopoldina, D. João VI's wife

The yellow in the flag also representa the house of hapsburg of Emperor Pedro I wife, Leopoldine of Austria

good job! very interesting

1:06 it was the *Kingdom of Brazil Brazil was made into an autonomous kingdom separated from portugal, in 1808, sharing with Portugal only the same crown

Hey man you should do a series about famous battles in ancient/medieval history or recent war events or something like that. even with me not liking this type of content that much you still make these series really enjoyable. TY!

one thing you could add is that the southern cross constelation is mirrored by the way, great vid man

Awesome video video, although the flag colors nowadays represets the forests, the wealth and the sky with stars, in the Imperial times the green was indeed for the Bragança House, of Emperor Pedro I, but the Yellow was actually the colors House of Habsburg of our Empress, Pedro's wife. Empress Leopoldina is Austrian, and not a coincidence Brazil have one of the biggest german heritage in the world, behind only US if I'm not wrong. Another interesting fact, the lone star above, also represents Brazil's presence in both hemispheres.

Great job.

Excellent knowledge to gain thank you

Awesome video, bro! Gotta say tho that the star above the banner used to reperesente Pará, but nowadays represents the Braziian Federal Distric, where is placed it's capital. And in Brazil, Pedro IV of Portugal is known as Pedro I of Brazil.

Essa questão das cores sempre da problema.... mas como já se passaram 2 anos desde a publicação e várias pessoas se manifestaram nos comentários, o autor ja deve saber disso. De qualquer forma parabéns pelo trabalho =)

Great video. Thank you for explaining the star above the line which's my home state Pará.

good job ! go ahead now

Actually, despite being called Pedro IV in Portugal, in Brazillian's history classes he is only referred to as Pedro I (I didn't even know he could be called Pedro IV).

“Complexo do vira-lata” is in every place here!!!!

Like, muito legal!

As some people already commented, the yellow stands for House Hapsburg of Austria. But order and progress have its special meaning. It is the motto of the Positivist "Religion" that was much in vogue on the turn of the XIX century in Brazil. The full motto is "Love as a principle, Order as a basis and Progress as an end". But Love was cut out... Also, the position of the stars reflect Rio de Janeiro´s sky on the exact moment of the declaration of the Republic, Nov, 15th, 1989 at 8pm. And each star represents the nearest existing start closest to each state´s capital. So adding and removing stars is quite a difficult task. So difficult that during the last 50 years of the XX century, some states were divided in two (for political reasons) and no extra stars were added to the flag

I am a brazilian and i loved this video I3I

I confess I didn't know a lot of these informations about the Brazilian flag, and I'm Brazilian. I'm specially surprised about the star above the white line. I've always believed it was supposed to be the Brazilian capital, Brasília. Thank you for clearing that up.

Most beautiful flag of the whole world

kingdon no empire

My flag❤ I love my country so much!!

everything is correct, good job for you, I'm a brazilian student with 13 old and I'm studying the history of Brazil

( Thank you for video ).👍👍👍🗺🗺🗺

THANK you this helped me a lot with homework

Hugs from Brazil!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Very good video, just some corrections. First of all, the story of the colors representing forests and wealth is a republican invention to desassociate with monarchy and create a national identity. Another correction is about history. For Brazil, Pedro was Dom Pedro I, for Portugal (after political pressure he returned in 1831 and was coronated) he is Dom Pedro IV. And Dom João VI actually encouraged the independence by Pedro because, in Portugal, he was living a political crisis called Revolução do Porto that wanted the end of absolutism and the control over Brazil trades again (they have lost it after the arriving of the royal family because of England's treaties), also this would cause revolutions in Brazil that would, anyway, cause independence, so, João sent a letter that said that Pedro should have Brazil's independence by his hands for him not to lose power. Finally, the affirmative that Pará is the only state above Equator is wrong nowadays because from Pará, have seceded many states, like Amapá and Roraima, both above Equator. I hope I have helped.

Why is Alte Kameraden playing in the beginning?

Very good video, great job man!

I really like your video, very nice. Im Brazilian, I just have one thing, if you don't mind (and it is not a criticism, just a point): the lonely star above not represent Pará, represent Brasilia the Capital of Brazil. Beside this, your video is very good and informative. Thank you.

Correct, the banner represents the Ecuador line and the star above it represents the state of Pará. But the reason is because Pará is the state with largest area above Ecuador. There are more states in the north, but smaller than Pará.

Cool video. I think that the Brazilian flag is the most beautiful flag.

Pretty good explanation

Brasilllllll A cima de tudooooooooo!!!!! , good vídeo.

Great video but I have one correction: The green is from House of Bragança (Emperor D. Pedro I) and the yellow is from the House of Habsburgo (Empress Leopoldina), the ideia they're represent the green and the gold came from the people that notice they colors match a description of Brazil in the time: great fauna and a lot of gold.

It would be fun to see Jim Parsons on a future episode, maybe narrating or co-narrating. Have you thought about it?

Pará is not the only state above the line of the equator, it's actually cut by the line, which also cuts the states of Amazonas, Roraima and Amapá

The only star above the banner represents Pará, but there are 3 other states that are above the equator line (Amazonas, Amapá and Roraima)

World: three or two vertical stripes, three or two horizontal stripes, crosses at the right, yari yara... Brazil: Let's make a RHOMBUS !!!

The green is from Bragança family from Portugal and you didn’t mention the yellow is from Habsburgo family from austrus hungarian empire , the family of Maria Leopoldina , first wife of Dom Pedro I

Do you think the banner across the circle was intentionally mimicking an armillary sphere, or was that just coincidence?

The motto "Ordem e Progresso" is a positivist motto, the republicans were very influenced by the ideas of Auguste Comte.

I'M BRAZILIAN AND I'M FROM THE STATE OF PARÁ. The reason the star that represents us is far from the others is because we were almost an independent country, and we were the last province to recognize the Republic of Brazil.

The American Style Flag is Used For Brasilian Comunity In Boston, USA

are you portuguese?

Viva o Brasil!!

The arrival of the King D. João VI and the portuguese court in 1808 ,to Rio de Janeiro, after the Napoleonic invasion of Portugal ,established the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil. This lasted from 1808 to 1822, when Brazil declared independence as a Monarchy , the Empire of Brazil. The national flag was created by the french artist Debret, and was inspired by french army flags. The yelow collor represents the House of Habsburg of the Empress and regent Leopoldina of Habsburg,who married Dom Pedro I. The green collor the House of Bragança or Braganza of Portugal.

I'm from Brazil, and Sheldon Cooper brought me here, just a little remind sorry for my poor english , but the yellow color represents the Absburgs House of D.Pedro"s wife, the Empress Leopoldina, his first wife.

forgot that the yellow/gold comes from the house of habsburg
