You might have also pointed out that Brazil straddles the equator, which is represented by the white line with the motto. The single star above the motto represents the one province that is north of the equator.
@@MirzaAhmed89 That's odd, because the equator only makes sense if there's a globe and it either spins on an axis (as the globalists claim) or has the sun circling around it (as the biblical literalists believe).
1:14 The yellow is not from Dom Pedro I, the yellow is from the Habsburg house of Empress Leopoldina. And the green is the green of the Bragança, house of Dom Pedro I. So it is, Habsburg yellow and Bragança green.
And isn't Braganza a distantly related branch of the Capet (and thus also Valois and Bourbon) dynasty, the historical rivals of the Habsburgs? Then in a way the Brazilian flag reconciled them
Not all of Brazil, but part of the Northeastern states was controlled by the dutch. The french also controll parts of Brazil, Maranhão and the city of Rio de Janeiro was controlled by the french.
The french barely occupied those regions for a couple of years in the very early stages of colonization, but the dutch did invade and occupy a large portion of the Northeast of Brazil in then early to mid 1600s
Braganza Green and Habsburg Yellow. Paraná was added in the sense that it seceded from São Paulo, not a new territory that was annexed, I thought that could be made a tad more clear. It's also nice to remember that Positivism as a philosophy was dominant in the Army at the time and to an extent influenced the decision to have a coup. Interestingly enough these constellations are positioned as they were on the 15th of November 1889, the day of the coup, so not only it's place-specific, it's also time specific. The only State to be properly "annexed" and not cut out from other states is Acre, which was annexed in 1909 and turned into a state in the 1946 constitution. Another interesting fact is that each Star is directly connected to a state, the bigger the state in area, the bigger the star, for example, and the single Star above the "Ordem e Progresso" logo represents Amapá, the only state whose capital is north of the Equator. Also, I find it so funny how the Dutch almost can't remember colonising Brazil whilst Brazilians idolise the Maurits van Nassau era. Anyhow, I really liked the video. I really like your content, big fan, please take these comments as constructive or like "curiosity miscellanea" Keep up the good job!
the only star above the white band represents Pará, not Amapá, as its position is inherited from the the gran-para province, wich was the only one above the equator. Amapa became a state long after
Actually, the Brazilian republic's official name until the 1930's was United States of Brazil. I guess that was just a standard for federal republics at that time, considering Mexico, Central America and Argentina all used some form of a "united states" name.
Hello Hilbert. Not only is this one of the flags that stood out as looking especially attractive, when learning flags as a kid, but the way the colours were designed into one of the best looking football kits sort of ties in with your recent branching out in that direction. I expected you would mention it, if only to show an orange kit for comparison.
Good thing they didn’t choose the stripes one. Looks awful. The current one is good imo, especially with the constellation features. The Brazilian empire fligas were incredible too.
Of all the awful things the First Republic governments did, abandoning the Imperial flag for arguably the single ugliest copy of the Star Sprangled Banner was one of their many great disservices to the Nation, so much so it lead to a rare case of regretting the decision so much they designed the current flag out of the Imperial one.
Very good video! I follow you since a long time and it's very nice seeing you talking about my country! But some corrections are needed: 1 - In the very beginning you talk about the two Imperial flags, you accidentally changed the order and showed the later Imperial flag (with the Imperial Crown of Brazil) as if it was the first one. 2 - A mistake in the colors, the green represented the House of Bragança and the yellow the House of Habsburg in the Imperial Flag. (Their meaning in the Republic flag is changed for the nature and the riches, with the blue orb being the night sky of Rio de Janeiro during the proclamation of the Republic, with the PoV being from the space to the Earth.) 3 - The Dutch colony in Brazil was a short lived venture, they controlled part of the now Northeast states of Brazil (at the time, they were important centers of Brazil). It was a very interesting period and the portuguese reconquest had big repercussions for the history of the US too! 4 - One of the main reasons for the change to a more similar format to the Imperial Flag is that the leader of the republican coup, the Marechal Deodoro da Fonseca, was a monarchies and a personal friend of Dom Pedro II, and it's said that he wasn't a fan of the more US like flag. Overall, I really appreciate your video and hope to see more content about Brazil and the rest of the world in the future, thanks!
Very cool video, Hilbert. Thank you. If could talk about the pre-Independence flags of Brazil, that would be great, they are pretty interesting as well.
Another correction. 1:09 - This design remainded for a couple of weeks when independent Brazil was a kingdom. To avoid links to the former metropoly, the crown on the flag was changed and Brazil became an empire.
Me neither, just knew that they were constellations (though I didn't know which ones), but had no idea that the number of stars were the number of states in Brazil
In Portuguese “do” (contraction of preposition “de” and masculine definite article “o” is pronounced “doo” as it is in English, not “do” as in “do-re-me.” The terminal “m” in “ordem” is nasalized and pronounced “ordeng.”
Let me guess (without watching) - you will reference how in the 1630s while Portugal was a part of Spain temporarily the Dutch took over a part of Northern Brazil... W I L H E L M U S
Não importa. A colônia holandesa no Brasil foi a maior colônia dos holandeses no mundo, por isso era a mais representativa mesmo durando meio século. Foi a maior de todas as colônias, por tanto, faz parte da história das bandeiras do Brasil também. Nesse período era chamado de Brasil holandês por conta de haver capital desse estado holandês no Brasil contra a capital do governo geral do Brasil. Era uma guerra constante nesse período.
Those two original flags from the 1800's were straight 🔥 for reals they looked great. The current flag doesn't necessarily look bad, but it looks like the logo to a sci-fi video game.
@@Omouja Look at Africa. Half of the flags are based on the colours of Ethiopia Same thing goes for the Arab World, with the green, white, black and red
No, Dom Pedro First of Brazil, and Pedro Fourth of Portugal... the yellow one is from the Habsburgos, that is to say from the empress leopoldina, the green one is from the Braganças, that is to say from Dom Pedro l . And the first crown on the flag is the royal one, not the imperial one, as independence was proclaimed after Pedro I, in the name of his father King Dom João, later we adopted the imperial crown because Dom João said that Pedro would take the throne of Brazil for you, thus came the flag with the imperial crown..
Did you know that Australia actually _was_ called New Holland on early maps before the British showed up and took over? New Holland is also the name of a favela (Nova Holanda) in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro in the Maré Complex.
They were right! The current flag is much much better! Apparently our family's ancestor arrived in North America from Recife. On a Dutch West India Company ship. More fun with history.
6:30 Small correction since the way this was told could be misleading: It wasn't the entire territory of Brazil but some provinces in the Northeast of the country. This happened during the Iberian Union (1580-1640), when Brazil was controlled by the Spanish monarch, not fond of the Dutch (see Eighty Years War/Dutch Revolt), while Portugal and its colony used to be a comercial partner (sugar industry). The current administration going back on the agreements stablished between the colony of Brazil and Netherlands is what caused the invasion and brief colonization of a (small) part of the country during the Dutch-Portuguese War. Due to Brazil's large territory not being really connected during early colonization centuries, it didn't really pose as a huge threat to the capital at the time, Rio de Janeiro. And one might say that. the "parallel" colony up North was getting even more advanced in terms of urbanization than the capital (the Crown's Priority, which kinda lead to the rest of the provinces being almost forgotten).
But these only have the southern cruise constellation ours has some constellations representing the sky seen on the day the republic was proclaimed in Rio de Janeiro, different from the US flag whose stars represent only the states.
The oldest Brazilian flag shown, with its horizontal stripes, resembles that of the United States, which was itself a copy of the flag of the Honourable East India Company, which like them was a quasi-autonomous group of Europeans living abroad on the backs of the natives of the country in which they resided.
"Brazil was controlled by the Duch".... What you mean? All of Brazil? It's a fking big country for you to come and say that whole Brasil was controlled by the dutch, sir
It's a Brazilian flag, therefore it seems logical to use the numerology associated with the country than use a foreign one, especially after independence. Pedro I when in Brazil, Pedro IV when in Portugal.
Speaking for all Americans, you’re more than welcome to insult the design of our flag. It’s way too busy. In my youth, I went to Greece on a trip and while my mind was naturally blown by lots of things in Athens, one small, but still mind blowing thing was just that other countries have flags that are aesthetically pleasing and look nice in a design sense. Flags are meant to be noticed so I’m not saying the US flag is bad. Just that if one stripe or a few stars is good, it doesn’t follow that 13 stripes or even 50 stars is necessarily better.
@@fudgepacker2858 Incorrect. Design is often in the eye of the beholder but there is a logic and structure to good design and 50 stars and 13 stripes is objectively too many.
I personally wouldn't call it busy, more like inspiring. It is a very unique design, with the only busy part being the Stars. And tbh, the current arrangement of 50 horizontally stacked stars is really eye pleasing, honestly to me much more so than the original 13.

We still technically do. Some States like Piauí and Sergipe still use that HIDEOUS First Republican flag as their State flags. If you wanna see a rather interesting Brazilian spin on the Star Sprangled Banner though, I suggest you check the flags of São Paulo and Maranhão.
I'm glad the Brazilians didn't stay with that green version of the US flag. It was too derivative. I love their current flag. It was a good design choice. Bem feito, Brasil!
I appreciate the sentiment and get your meaning, but just as a heads up... When we say "Bem feito!" here in Brazil, with a certain amount of emphasis, we're usually saying with that schadenfreudian feeling of seeing someone being punished by karma. It's our "Nelson's Ha-ha!" Again, thanks, and I am also glad that they changed the flag because it looked terrible. No offense to the American flag, it's just that it looks like an awful attempt at imitation. What's with that top hat made out of stars anyway? **cringes**

@@jeremyfisher8512 - I know why and it’s silly. Also, just because you personally haven’t heard of something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist >>> pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estados_Unidos_do_Brasil
@@danidejaneiro8378 never said it didn't exist?? you used the word "they" which I thought you were referring to Brazilians' in general but I was just recounting my experience of never hearing it. And explain why its "silly" that they might consider it one continent and why its silly that they might call themselves "American" when all of it is called america anyways no matter if its north and south or just one whole piece.
@@jeremyfisher8512 - no, I mean that it's silly that they should demand that we change the way we speak our language how our ancestors have spoken it for centuries when none of us native speakers are confused about the difference between American, North American and South American. If they wanna be "americanos" in their own language, that's their decision. But they don't get to copy the flag, copy the country name, copy the system of government and then call USA imperialists for not changing how we speak our own language.
Not original vs cool circle and diamond
As a Brazilian living in Nederland I might say that I need a t-shirt with the Kroketten en Stroopwafels flag!
United States of Brazil (USB??)
yes, this was the first name of Brazil when turns into a republic at 1889 and lasted until 1968, but in portuguese "Estados Unidos do Brasil"
@@Lucas66393 - actually it was Brazil with a Z
@@danidejaneiro8378 nah, since 1897 the brazilian academy of letters sayed that the name was with S
@@Lucas66393 - _A grafia original era _*_Estados Unidos do Brazil,_*_ no entanto não havia consistência estabelecida na grafia do nome do país, tradicionalmente grafado com "z", mas também grafado com "s", até o advento do Decreto n.º 20.108, de 15 de junho de 1931,[16] que estabeleceu a validade legal do acordo ortográfico da língua portuguesa entre a Academia Brasileira de Letras e a Academia de Ciências de Lisboa_ ->>> pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estados_Unidos_do_Brasil
Wait! Brazils flag used to look like the US flag?
yes for 4 days lol
@@umapessoaincomum Explains why Ive never head of it.
I like the Brazilian flag. Thank you
Watermelon flag
I had no idea that Brazil once had a flag similar to America's
We still technically do. Some States like Piauí and Sergipe still use that HIDEOUS First Republican flag as their State flags.
If you wanna see a rather interesting Brazilian spin on the Star Sprangled Banner though, I suggest you check the flags of São Paulo and Maranhão.
@@peixeserra9116 interesting
Fred ahaha that hurts after the Liverpool game ahaha. 7-0…
Holy shit fred scared me
so... USB?
Hello bro, will you make a video on the Russian Volunteer Corps?
It was thrown out into the trash, where it belonged. 🇧🇷
I'm glad the Brazilians didn't stay with that green version of the US flag. It was too derivative. I love their current flag. It was a good design choice. Bem feito, Brasil!
The US flag is extremely ugly, our flag is unique and there is no flag in the world similar to ours.
I appreciate the sentiment and get your meaning, but just as a heads up... When we say "Bem feito!" here in Brazil, with a certain amount of emphasis, we're usually saying with that schadenfreudian feeling of seeing someone being punished by karma. It's our "Nelson's Ha-ha!"
Again, thanks, and I am also glad that they changed the flag because it looked terrible. No offense to the American flag, it's just that it looks like an awful attempt at imitation.
What's with that top hat made out of stars anyway? **cringes**
I love Brazil beautiful country
MAKE A VIDEO ON WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OLD PARAGUAY & URUGUAY FLAG
why this salsaish background music? it has nothing to do with brazil.
Thank you! Very weird! 😂
Haha who cares? Brazilians call everyone gringo without the slightest respect for individual nationalities, cultures and languages. Why should we care about Brazil?
@@danidejaneiro8378 Gringo = Estrangeiro
Xeque-mate! 👍
The slogan should be for the Dutch Brazil flag. "As final touch God created the Dutch"
The only flag with a joke on it........
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes
Stroopwafel isn't a joke, it's deliciousness
You don't say, Brazil and order go hand and hand.
It's the national motto, every country has a national motto 🤡

Hello
The Brazillian orange flag deserved the like! XD
How is it that a Brit is so Dutch? Family ties?
Because they need a nice flag to represent themselves during the World Cup.
_kroketten en stroopwalves_ ? more like _coxinha en caipirinha_
or whatever name the dutch would've given to the the most famous finger food in brazil: the Coxinha!
Lovely
Talk further about Dutch Brazil.
