@@romainvicta8817 u know man... these new theories you would not see them from people that have a great and historical nation like italians greeks egyptians persians etc.. not even from people that have respect to themselves as many in europe and also slavs for example. these theories you will see them from some new mixed countries or some countries that became countries in the near past and have origins from nomads that never had political organization . moreover thy did not even have language alphabet psilosophy astronomy etc.. these people try to unerrate the other great civilzation and to cut roots from the past. yes some thousands lombards dissapered the natives of all the peninsula some thousands goths also some thousands slavs disappeared all the greeks in the middle ages and after 10 battles with romans all the native greek world had dissapeared. they think that italians and greeks and other were some races in tropical islands with 1000 people and suddenly disappeared from the map. when italians and roman empire later had hundrends of big cities in italian peninsula and many colonies and greek world had hundrends of big cities in minor asia and greek peninsula some goths and lombards killed them all!!! i think in this way that when alexander went to persian empire and won 3 battles, their army killed millions of persians and now there is not any persian left and iran now is a lie. in that way also when roman empire had the half of central and west europe and all the mediterrenean see countries i think the romans killed all the millions of defeated people and noone left.the emperor had terretories with no people i guess. i dont know when the taxes came from though haha

+Lord Alehandro How do you know that?

Yea, 200 years before the Greek rebellion, not the same people. Remember, this was a time were religion started being less and less important for many while instead maintaining the status quo and not let any one nation get to big was seen as the priority. Think about it, at the time, if Poland existed it would be still be surrounded by other large states, most notably Austria and Russia. These two nations both bordered the Ottomans and the Ottomans would've, as previously stated, an interest in keeping these two powers in check. So if anyone went after Poland the Ottomans might intervene. Why would the Poles weaken a potential ally?

So why didn't they partition it irl then? Don't see how the non-existence of Poland would prevent that. Coward or not the British managed to become the worlds dominant great power so they must've done something right. And how do you know that they wouldn't aid each other? Do you have any kind of evidence supporting this notion? Sure, the Ottomans might be falling but they were still a power to contend with. Hell, even the faulty argument of what Poland did 200 years ago somehow reflecting their current view is wrong as the Polish-Ottoman relationship isn't as straightforward as you think. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Ottoman_alliance

And how do you know any such partitions would've gone anywhere, or even succeeded? Contrary to the commonwealth at the time of its partition the Ottomans still had a functioning government so they couldn't exactly just walk in. And the argument I've been making all along is that the Poles wouldn't aid the Greeks due to convenience. Also, I've asked several times now. Do you have any actual evidence supporting this claim that Poland would come to Greece's aid?

No it didn't have a functioning. The Commonwealths Sejm was paralysed due to the liberum veto and had as a result brought the Commonwealth to the brink of collapse. As a matter of fact it's theorised that the removal of the liberum veto and the consequences it would've brought was one of the reasons the partitions happened before it could be implemented. Is Poland still a "defender of Christian civilisation", and so in what way? If the answer is no, how can you be sure they would still be one at the time? Also, what exactly makes you think that Poland was a "defender of Christian civilisation" in the past? As previously mentioned they had no problem making deals with the Ottomans and allowing them to take over several christian nations. Even the times when Poland aided other countries against the Ottomans this aid came in the form of a mutual defence pact against the Ottomans. So Poland's aid could've had less to do with "protecting your fellow Christians" and more to do with defence against a potential Ottoman invasion.

I am Turkish and it looks like we still cannot stop fighting even if we are both westernized secular democratic NATO countries. I am pretty sure that Turkey wont ever have claims over europe but ottomanist government talks differently. But it is temporary. governments come and go. Modern Turkey was never meant to be imperialist or Islamic country. Its one of the first countries to give women rights Thats why Mustafa Kemal has great reputation in even west. I just hope Turkey will stay westernized. and Greek still believe İstanbul is Constantinople meanwhile there are MORE Turks living in İstanbul than WHOLE Greeks in Greece. It is basically impossible for them to retake İstanbul without great power intervention. even if great powers intervene they would never give those lands to Greeks back (English took İstanbul in first ww1, then while losing they ttried to make it international free lands but they couldnt after their allies' loses) So both countries have citizens with oxymoron nationalist ideals which is basically impossible to execute. History is history. we should be realistic. Greece is such small and even poor country (comparing to Eu) with low manpower. Turkey is richer and has lot more manpower, bigger army but it doesnt change the fact that Turkey is only regional power that can only dictate iraq, syria, armenia etc. weaker than lot other western countries. byzantium and ottomans were great powers but its long gone.
