    Two quick things that weren’t mentioned: first when hung on the side, the CoA is kept facing the way it is normally, so two different flags depending on how you fly them. 2nd: “during Czechoslovakia they pretty much used the Czech flag”, this is technically incorrect; when they made the Czechoslovak flag, they took the white and red Bohemian (Čechy, so Czech) flag and added the blue triangle to symbolise Slovakia, since the symbolic colour of Slovakia is blue. Actually, Czechia using this flag is technically breaking the “divorce settlement” between Slovakia and Czechia, and at the same time it ignores the other half of the Czech Republic which is Moravia (Morava) and whose traditional colour is yellow. But yeah, great video still.

    2:38 We didn't use the Czech flag. That was the flag of Czechoslovakia. Red and White represented Czechia and Moravia, and Blue represented Slovakia. After we split up, there was an agreement (unfortunately not officially signed) that neither Czechs, nor Slovaks will use any state emblems/symbols, or the flag of former Czechoslovakia. But Czechs kept the flag anyway.

Eventually, after a search for new symbols, the Czech Republic unilaterally decided to ignore the constitutional law on the dissolution of Czechoslovakia (Article 3 of Law 542/1992 stated that the "Czech Republic and Slovak Republic shall not use the national symbols of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic after its dissolution.") and to keep the Czechoslovak flag, with an altered meaning. Slovakia, meanwhile, adopted its traditional flag; however, just before independence, on 3 September 1992, the coat of arms was added to prevent confusion with the similar flags of Russia and Slovenia."

      Original Carniolan coat of arms was blue and white, but there were several changes made to it, they added red and gold (crown) elements to it. But this is more of a lucky coincidence, in 1848 they adapted pan-Slavic tricolour. Medieval Carniolan flag would probably be white and blue whit small red and gold elements in a coat of arms. In high medieval era there probably was a Carniolan flag, but the flag itself (in medieval times) was not very important, the coat of arms was. The flag was used to show the coat of arms or a motive from a coat of arms, with time the flags became more developed and more important. Modern Carniolan flag has a pan-Slavic tricolor, we could say that they fused Carniolan and Slavic colours together, this flag was however contaminated by Slovenian quislings in 2ww.
      Edit: all ancient and medieval states originally only had a symbol/coat of arms. Original flags were just a background for a sigil/coat of arms. Flags of today are a modern thing.

    There was no such thing as “Czech” flag in Czecho-Slovakia. It was a combined flag where blue triangle symbolised Slovakia and white and red stripes Czech lands. After dissolution, Czechs kept using the flag without Slovak approval and changed the narrative about the blue triangle. (Their excuse for using it was that they didn’t need to obey this federal request anymore, since the federation ceased to exist) Nowadays it symbolises land of Moravia.
    Also about the tree hilltops Tatra, Fatra and Matra. Matra lies in Hungary not Slovakia. We just kept it in our coat of arms for historical reasons.

      First correction: The hills are - Tatra, Matra and Fatra. Only Matra is located in modern Hungary and a lot of Slovaks lived in that area (3 hills represented mountainos/upper part of Kingdom of Hungary = nowadays Slovakia) Hills were added to the coat of arms by Wenceslaus III., Slavic king.
      Second correction: Red shield and double-cross are from (Slavic) Nitra principality, used also by Stephen I. who has a connection with Nitra.
      It is old heritage and of course it was (and still is) on Hungarian coat of arms, because Slovaks were part of Kingdom of Hungary.
