Why is that? In this video we find out about the impact that Feudalism had in medieval banners; how they began changing with the need for naval flags and their simplicity requirements, and how, through colonialism, those naval flags, or at least the simplicity they represented, then transitioned into modern country flags with the emergence of the concept of a nation state.
