Thread 512189572

These two are the oldest national flags on Earth.

Both are approximately 800 years old with Denmark's being 11 years older than Austria's. Whenever you see one of these flags, pay some respects. We've been doing this longer than you.

I thought the old Austrian flag was yellow and black tho

So you stole the flag and remove a line? Cringe

Oldest in use.

It was birthed during the Crusades, when the duke Leopold V came back with his blood soaked clothes from slaying all his muzzie enemies, took off his belt and revealed a red-white-red pattern on his tunic.

The black-gold one was used during Habsburg monarchy and so on. I guess it's where the black-red-gold in Germany today comes from.

Japan’s national flag — the Nisshōki (日章旗), more commonly called the Hinomaru (日の丸, “circle of the sun”) — has ancient origins, but was only officially adopted as the national flag in 1999.

It's about official use. Not when someone first drew a red dot. Stay mad.

>>512189734
Yep.

>>512189572 (OP)
I'd argue Japan's is older, and if you forget about exact form you also have places like Sri Lanka which used a similar design almost 2200 years ago

I like Austria. I like the way you recovered from your imperial phase and just concentrated on getting fat on cream cakes in elegant surroundings.

>>512189956
Sorry, we win by technicality.

It's about official use of national flags.

>>512189978
Let's not even begin speaking about the state of your country. It's too dark.

>>512189572 (OP)
OK, King

Habsburg dynasty when?

>>512189955
There's also a problem here with what you consider a national flag, official use and even a nation in itself, whether you consider continuous use to not matter anymore because of a small change to exact colors or element positioning like Japan did in 1999, but that's just standardization
You could argue Denmark and Austria as such weren't the same nations when those flags were adopted, you could argue the kingdom of Austria in the 1200s is the same nation as the current republic or you could argue that it has nothing to do with it, not even the king

>>512189572 (OP)
I checked Wikipedo. Your country dates from 1955.

I think if you get your news off FB or here, it might seem that way but, in any case, I'm not teasing. I think we could learn from Austria.

based. But it would be even more based if the Epstein Files will be released.

>>512190154
Hands down we win this.
It is irrelevant somebody had drawn a red circle before for some reason. This is specifically about usage as national flags. Maybe I can find two red lines next to each other from an older source and then claim this as the mythological birthing point like Japan does. But that's irrelevant. It's about the idea of a nation and a flag representing this nation. We win this battle of ideas.

Austria is actually Österreich, which is called Ostarrichi in a certain dialect. This name appeared first over 1,000 years ago.

Lol, der Satz hat keine wirkliche Bedeutung. xD
You literally said:
Better then 100% English (person) right away, but not so grammatically.
Engländer = Englishman
Englisch = English

I like English even though you never could stop getting mad about Germans overtaking you economically in Europe.

>>512190733
Dunno, but they actually very much like us. More than most Slavs ^_^
The Czech word for us Germans used to be something like Niemcy, which basically means mute. Because they met people that more or less looked like them (blue eyes, blonde hair), but spoke a very different language, one being Germanic and the other Slavic.

>>512191044

>The red-white-red Latvian flag is first mentioned in the medieval Rhymed Chronicle of Livonia (Livländische Reimchronik), which covers the period from 1180 to 1343, and is thus among the oldest flags in the world. The chronicle tells of a battle that took place around 1279, in which ancient Latgalian tribes from Cēsis, a city in northern modern-day Latvia, went to war, bearing a 'red flag with a white stripe'.

Not only is oesterrik wrong, his flag is also a shitty copy of an OLDER flag

Some tribe = Latvia and some description = proper use as a national flag.

It still is. Germans translate to mutes in almost every slav language. I don't think it's all about their blue eyes but their military grade autism.

>>512195840
The worst thing is when strangers are forced into a group setting, then you truly realize how awfully autistic Germans are.
The concept of social awkwardness is a suggestion to them.
You'll see EVERYONE just being mute and just hoping someone just takes the entire lead over 30-40 people.
Even I, an friendless introvert, am too normal to stomach this nuclear autism and have diffused many a social situations like this by just starting talking confidently to the group

Retarded nigger faggot language. Germans sound like they're straining for a shit every time they open their mouths. Which is quite fitting because Germans have a weird obsession with shitting on people's chests.

>>512196905
Lol, you're so hate filled.
English are Anglo-Saxons. Look up where that is.

>>512195840
They're called mute, because of the strange language barrier despite looking more or less the same.

We're not that autistic...

>>512196156
>Even I, an friendless introvert, am too normal to stomach this nuclear autism and have diffused many a social situations like this by just starting talking confidently to the group
you know that's a sign of autism here in germany? You're supposed to be awkward in those situations.

I don't know how to tell you this without hurting you deeply but anschluss isn't a thing for years now.

Flags are a psyop to make you have allegiance to a 'country' and its 'citizens' instead of your tribe.
