The region of Sparta is Laconia (and technically Messenia, since the people there were enslaved by the Spartans). The Peloponnese is home to many ancient Greek city-states, off the top of my head Argos, Korinth, Mycenae and Olympia are the most notable.

@@pickledirick8338 I know but I mean Peloponnese pleyed a hufe role in ancient times so I thought that he would find it

The region was called more and it was an albanian city state the country you are stealing too much history from.Albanians in that region were forced to leave cus of greeks and left towards italy now called areberesh.There are multiple documents that prove that more was albanian cus they even spoke albanian.After they left they dedicated a song to the region moj e bukura more si ika dhe te lashe -beautiful more how i left you.The song is 600+ years old.

@nikola poyukov You're pretty sure? How so? Do you study Classics? I do. No. At best, the Peloponnesian League (which is an alliance, not an empire (although many consider the Delian League as part of the Athenian empire. The circumstances are different but I'll let it slide)) is the greatest territorial extent of Sparta. Even so, the Peloponnesian League didn't even include the entire Peloponnese, and most significantly did not include Argos. Also, Sparta never had imperial ambitions. To think so would be naive.

dude, you have as many brits in algarve as portuguese... I know im from lisbon, algarve is our summer destination

The first time this region was under Russian rule was all the way back in the 11th century under Novgorod. Then it was Swedish for a century in the 1600s, and then it was back in Russia. It hasn't been an independent territory for over 1000 years, and has only been under Nordic rule for 104 of them.

You're damn right I'm sore about it.

@@georgiykireev9678 It's a *bit* more complicated then that... That said, my main point was the *culture*. Even land deep within Russia isn't Russian culture at all with the local cultures suffering due to Russian rule. Scandinavia while our region is in the Germanic language family and culturally we've always had a lot of interaction with the finno-ugric peoples in the region as well as the other people around the baltic sea other then the Germans. We've had a bit of rivalry with the Germans as the Romans used us as a counterweight against them and they converted to christianity way earlier then us and just in general where a bit more imperialistic minded, expanding a bit close for comfort to several peoples around the Baltics including Denmark and Prussia (while it was still an area with baltic speaking peoples). And afterwards our languages and cultures had changed a lot in different directions... And let's just say that the get Germans, be it Teutonic knights or the Hanseatic league always was throwing their weight around quite a bit, something independent minded peoples around the Baltic sea and on the Scandinavian peninsular never where too keen on. While our interactions northwards kept going, for instance with the pomor trade in the north in the case of Norway as well as the interaction between Scandinavians and the Karelians east of Finland in varying degrees both under Russian rule and under "Russian rule" (in periods when it was contested or where Russian presence was limited in nature even if it was there on paper) Karelia didn't become truly Russian till after the winter war when the demographic makeup of the region was changed with the Karelians often fleeing their homes into Finland, Russians moving in and Stalin moving people around (some Norwegians ended up moved from the lands of the pomor trade and further into Russia)

@@Luredreier You're a hypocrite. So, Russia is making them all suffer, but you're the benevolent saviours that never even inconvenienced anyone? You keep bringing up the 20th century stuff, completely ignoring how the history before that is really not in your favour, with Russia holding the region for 10 times longer than anyone else. If anything, it's you guys that are the invaders, who conquered the region and later lost it.

@@georgiykireev9678 I'm not going to pretend that we don't have blood on our hands... For instance after being converted we played a mayor role in the northern crusades (just like our kings did *within* the Scandinavian countries). Conversion wasn't a peaceful process at all... My point is just that while Russia might have "held" those lands the *culture* still wasn't Russian, those lands where majority non-Russian ethnically for all of that time and they interacted more with others around the Baltic sea then they did with Russians for one simple reason, it's *easier* to transport both people and goods over water then land. And Karealia isn't any more Russian then Russia is Viking or in this case Rus. Yes, the vikings formed the states that became Russia, but the majority of the people where slavic and so was the culture. In Karelia that's even more the case. Just because a certain government is in charge of an area for x amount of time doesn't mean that the culture of that area is the same as that of the government in question, be it a king/emperor, soviet or parliament/president. As for the whole invading thing... Slavic people and Germanic people are equally guilty there. But we've always had a certain affinity with the finno-ugric peoples, something that's also seen in our languages, Norwegian and Swedish both contain a lot of finno-ugric words and concepts. I'm not going to deny that we didn't do a lot of damage to the cultures of finno-ugric peoples, especially their religions, but even with attempts within Scandinavia at destroying those cultures at times they where still better off there then under both the Tzar, Soviets and even modern Russia.
