Line 71:
** The Dutch would wear Orange in defiance to the Nazis. Orange was the symbol of the Dutch ruling family - The House of Orange.
** The V for Victory sign in Britain.
***Of course Britain was an established [[Hegemonic Empire]] that had been a superpower for generations, and was riddled with crusty old traditions. Not only that but many prominent British including [[Winston Churchill]] himself would have proudly owned the term "empire" while Nazis considered themselves revolutionary.
* During the French Revolution, wearing the bonnet rouge (red Phrygian cap) was a symbol of Revolutionary sympathies.
** Later revolutions also used the red flag (e.g. 1848).
