Have you ever noticed that almost every revolution has a signature hat?
From the Phrygian cap of the French Revolution to Napoleon’s bicorne, from Mao and Fidel Castro’s military caps to the American tricorn, the Soviet ushanka, the Mexican sombrero, and even the modern MAGA hat.
In this video, we explore why revolutions across history become visually tied to these specific hats, where those hats came from, what they meant at the time, and how some of them outlived the revolutions themselves to become symbols of entire regimes.
