The SHOCKING Reason Why These African Flags Look The Same

In this video, we are going to be looking at why most African countries have flags that look the same. We are going to be looking at why some African flags have the colors red, yellow, and green in them.
On October 11th, 1897, a year after Ethiopia defended itself from Italian colonization at the Battle of Adwa, Emperor Menelik II authorized the creation of a flag containing a rectangular tri-color from top to bottom: red, yellow, and green. These colors will later be known as the Pan-African colors.
Nkrumah, Ghana’s first president, was strongly inspired by Ethiopia’s resistance against foreign occupation and decided to incorporate the country’s tri-color scheme into the Ghana flag–as a way of paying homage to Ethiopia for being the only African country—aside from Liberia, that was never colonized.
They took Ethiopia’s flag–which by this time had the green stripe on top instead of red, flipped it, and placed a black 5 point star in the center of the flag.
Soon other newly independent African countries would follow suit.
