Country Mottos 2022

The United States: In God We Trust

With its current motto, “Throughout God We Trust,” the United States has already had two national slogans in its history. In 2011, Congress voted 396 to 9 to reaffirm the most current motto.

In the Great Seal of the United States, the phrase E Pluribus Unum (Latin), which means “From many, one” or “Out of many, one,” was included in the Seal. Acts of Congress in 1782 validated the slogan, which is still referenced today.

France: Liberté, égalité, fraternité

Liberty, equality, and fraternity are the three pillars of France’s national motto (in French: Liberté, égalité, fraternité).

When France rose to prominence as a global intellectual and philosophical leader throughout the eighteenth century, the motto’s origins may be traced back to the Age of Enlightenment.

Louis XV, also known as “The Beloved,” was the driving force behind the movement, which took place between 1715 and 1774. In the French Revolution, the national motto triumphed and was included in France’s Constitution in 1958.

Greece: Ελευθερία ή θάνατoς

It is said in Greek, “Eleftheria or Thanatos,” that “Freedom or Death” is Greece’s national slogan. This is one of the numerous nation slogans that arose from a song sung during a time of struggle and independence.

As part of a plot to overthrow Ottoman control, a secret club known as Filiki Eteria adopted the slogan in 1814. When the Greek War of Independence broke out in the 1820s, it became the rallying cry for the Greek people. The Greek flag’s nine stripes symbolize the motto’s nine syllables.

Canada: From Sea to Sea

Canada has many unofficial national mottos, but the official one is “A mari usque ad mare” (Latin for: “From water to water”). ‘He shall have sovereignty also from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the Earth,’ says Psalm 72:8 in the Bible, which inspired this slogan.

Argentina: En unión y Libertad

“En unity y Libertad” (Spanish for “In Unity and Freedom”) is Argentina’s national slogan. National Coat of Arms shows two individuals shaking hands with the phrase.

Argentina’s different provinces are represented by a handshake, which serves as a symbol of unification. The pike in the middle of the hands indicates the country’s ability to protect and safeguard liberty. The pike is a sign of strength, and the cap on the pike is a symbol of liberty.
