South America: Timeline of National Flags: 1450 - 2021

This video shows the history of South America with flags, from 1450 to 2021. Sources: Wikipedia Wikimedia Commons FOTW A few notes: Pre Columbian Cultures shown Most minor revolts, rebellions are not shown Remember that countries that have more than one flag for a certain year or that existed for less than a year may not align with other flag changes or territorial changes of the same year. The Juan Fernández Islands, Malpelo Islands, Rocas Atoll, and the Desventuradas islands are shown to by claimed by Spain when they were first visited, due to when they were claimed being unclear. Likewise, the Aurora Islands are shown as part of the UK in 1927 when they were first chartered. Not every single war is shown. The Flag of the Inca Empire shown was more of a standard for the emperors, or Sapa Inca, than to represent the Inca Empire itself. Klein Venedig is shown with it's coat of arms on a white background. Slight border error between Maranhão and Grão Pará and Brazil from 1704 to 1725. Argentina and Chile are shown with the Spanish flag until they adopted their own flags. The flag of Nicaragua from 1852 to 1854 is merely a possible attributed flag. After 1930 the civil flag of Venezuela is shown. The flags of colonial Spain, Portugal, France, Great Britain, and the Dutch Republic were not exactly national flags. Rather, they were naval flags or royal standards.
