our flag just means that the freemasons who unified this country were frenchboos
>>55691702
Our flag is red and white because King George V made red and white the official colours of Canada. Red represents England and white represents France.
>>55691656
>his flag wasn't handed to him by God himself
Ours is red an yellow because those are colours you can see from a long distance while on a ship.
>>55691855
>and white represents France
something something surrender joke
>>55692066
This was better to be honest with you senpai
>>55692120
True, but people mistook it for the english flag way too much and that's a pretty serious issue in a time when England was your biggest rival.
>>55692105
To surrender, you used to wave the flag of your enemy
France's flag was white
The enemies of France raised that white flag so much, the white flag started meaning surrender

That sounds awfully inconvenient

Point is, quite a few people on this board mistake us to be Muslim because of the flag.
>>55691731
??????
>>55694206
Because it looks like the Indonesian flag
>>55692462
Do you really think that people who was at war had a pocket flag of their enemy?
>>55694264
It's the crescent. Had a Slovene ask me "I know you and Indonesia are both Muslim, but why do you feel the need to emphasize you're Muslim by putting the crescent on your flag?"

>expecting a fucking balkan to know anything
Might as well ask a Brazilian kid from the slums the same question m8
The green on the flag was the official colour of Dom Pedro's I house and the yellow was the colour of the real family of Austria. The leaves were coffee and cotton, it was what Brazil most produced that time, and the coat was from the king's symbol.

Mata-te, otário. Pode me explicar de onde veio a bandeira do Brasil entao.
>>55694500
Explique-me.
Our colors represent colors of the all german Lützow Free Corps of the napoleonic wars
>>55694769
No, it means nothing. It's just some dumb hipster stripes.
>>55694825
No the colors stem from them, wtf are talking about. The Lützow Free Corps got mystified in the 19th century german nationalist movement

Wasn't the cresent moon a mongol thing?
>>55695491
Byzantine.
>>55695491
Ottomans made it into such a Islamic symbol
