macedonia is part of greece, as thessaly, epirus, athena , sparta

Fun fact: Almost all medical word in English come from Greek words. For example bronchitis in Greek is bronchitida. Also, math, astrology and astronomy where really advanced in ancient Greece. When other people thought that the whole star system was spinning around earth, ancient Greeks knew the earth and the planets moved around the sun.

As a greek we would want people to call us Hellas because that was our original English name

Alexander was Greek cause the Slavs that are from north Macedonia came like 800 years after Alexander’s death

You should visit Greece too friend! Btw, we Love Mexico...so Beautiful & Amazing Food & Culture! 🙌🏻

Omg. Your mother loves deeply Greece. I thank her for that. Greece is not only Islands. In mainland great place is mount Pilio with great villages. I didn't know the saying but I use to say when God made the world needed a place to take vacations and made Greece.

everything is beautifull all around the world, its about vibes ...same for me Greek vibes ... is something you cant forget

I really need to go to Greece someday

kudos to your mom and you bro!

Cheers from Greece man! What you said about your mother and her describing Greece was so sweet. I do think that we have a very beautiful country that unfortunately has been plagued by so many factors and now we are just struggling. Yes, the issue with Turkey stems from the Ottoman Empire although the relationship between the two countries and the people today could have been a lot better if politicians didn't keep adding fuel to the fire and spreading propaganda to their people about how they should hate each other, unfortunately it has worked very well. Although you didn't ask "Mountza" is an open palm gesture which is kinda used like the middle finger in Greece.

Greece was enslaved by the Ottoman empire for 400 years, and countries that have experienced Ottoman enslavement knows that it was barbaric and brutal, to say the least. Today people dont hate people, but the Turkish goverment is constantly harrasing the Greek national airspace etc. But of course we cannot blame or hate the Turkish people for that, all goverments are corrupted in some form. Thank you for your reaction to my country, much love from Greece to Mexico.

well about the Macedonian issue it doesnt matter where you went to school Japan or Mexico or somewhere in Africa or in Australia there is one history that teach you the same about Ancient Macedonia or Alexander the great, well those slavs are the only people on earth that doesnt accept the worlds history and believe in something different WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE AT ALL, so if you really want to have a joke with this issue dont keep the same distance between the two sides. On one side is the history wroten 3000 years ago by historians and archeologist in now days and on the other side some paranoid people create a fake story by stealing Greece or Bulgarian history

We don’t hate the turkish people, only their government. However for the sake of history the Ottomans did enslaved Greece and they treated greeks like animals, they stole boys from their mothers at a young age to brainwash them and train them to be super soldiers that basically were sent to fight even against their own families (the Janissaries). While the rest of the Europe was advancing, Greece and the rest of the Ottoman occupied countries were left behind both in culture and education, we were stuck in the middle ages. From my point of view it was then when Greece took its downfall, because pretty much from the very beginning when Greece was formed as a group of city states they were basically the first in everything, even during the Byzantine era the greeks were making huge innovations. Like the first liquid fire, or the Cyrillic alphabet that Russians use today and then suddenly all that stops, the Ottomans took over. Now it’s a little sensitive topic since Turkey turned Hagia Sofia into a mosque which was an insult to Christianity and they are claiming all of the Aegean. But yeah we don’t hate them rather than we are tired of their shit, they disrespect neighboring countries in every way possible and it’s getting annoying

12:10 is wrong cuz we do celebrate birthdays and we also celebrate name days which is a smaller type of celebration, usually there is no cake or anything like there is on birthdays, others just wish you "happy name day!" 12:17 is also wronge. We are not canivals who put the sceletones on display. But in the big cities where there is not much space available, 3 to 5 years after the funeral (when the body has been desolve) the bobes are taken and are put in separate boxes and are taken to a room where they are kept to be safe. In small cities or villages this is not so common because there is enough space

7:40 it's not a sandwich. It's called Pita with Gyros. Not close to a sandwich

As a greek I don't hate the population of turkey, normal people never had any fault, I hate the government, as well as ours

Halkidiki (the monster claw) has some of the best beaches in Greece. There was one time that the monks of Mount Athos gave shelter to women and children, (the third finger of Halkidiki he mentioned in the video), and that was during the Greek revolution against the Turks when Greeks lost a battle and knew that Turks will destroy the place where it started, Kassandra (first finger). So many women and children were given refuge so they won't be slaughtered, unfortunately a lot stayed behind and died. We remember that day as the "Kassandra holocaust", cause Turks burn everything. The monks don't allow other women in Athos cause according to the Orthodox belief it's Virgin Mary's Garden and is dedicated to Her. But in several occasions monks say that Virgin Mary, or Panagia as we say here, allowed women and children to find help there.

The Name Greece is only used by Western Europe civilizations. The real name of the country is Hellas.

Thanks for your comments my friend .we love Mexico .Greece has not only 132.000 square klm. Having 6.000 Islands with this the economic zones they have we are bigger from Germany and Austria together .kisses from Thessaloniki Makedonia Greece to my favorite Mexico .

Great Video please continue to watch georgraphy now , I am Turkish, I can safely say that the average citzen of Turkey and greece don't have problems with each other. it's mostly the government and Nationalists, other than that our culture is also quite similiar when it comes to food mentality etc, the only major thing that separates us is religion , but even genetically We are actually close , when Turks migrated from Central asia to anatolia they mixed with locals thats why some of us look similiar sometimes which is kinda funny , My Grandma even had Blonde hair and Blue eyes it's a fact that many of us are mixed , there was a Turkification period in that region many people in the balkans converted and also took the Turkish identity. Also yes when it comes to tourists both of our countries are heavily visited Turkey was even ranked 6th in 2019 somewhere beetwen 50-52milion People visited ,Turkey has a lot of sights that were made be ancient and Medieval Greeks it makes sense because those regions were also Greek territory for centuries.

Actually the have the No1 Fleet now because japan and korea were building ships for Greece. 1/3 of the world's oil is transported using a Hellenic ship and most probably other goods.

As a Greek i believe Filotimo. As a human i believe the Youth. As a man i believe the woman

That with the skulls is a thing of the monastic life only, it's not valid.

You forgot Eratosthenes who proved that the earth is round

My friend hallo from Greece. I am sending you an interesting text. The next speech includes 99% greek words used by the English language. «Kyrie, I eulogize the archons of the Panethnic Numismatic Thesaurus and the Oecumenical Trapeza for the orthodoxy of their axioms methods and policies, although there is an episode of cacophony of the Trapeza with Hellas. With enthusiasm we dialogue and synagonize at the synods of our didymous Organizations in which polymorphous economic ideas and dogmas are analyzed and synthesized. Our critical problems such as the numismatic plethora generate some agony and melancholy. This phenomenon is charateristic of our epoch. But, to my thesis we have the dynamism to program therapeutic practices as a prophylaxis from chaos and catastrophe. In parallel a panethnic unhypocritical economic synergy and harmonization in a democratic climate is basic. I apologize for my eccentric monologue. I emphasize my eucharistia to your Kyrie to the eugenic and generous American Ethnos and to the organizers and protagonists of this Ampitctyony and the gastronomic symposia».

On the topic of Greece, watch Alexander the Great Part 1-4 by EpicHistoryTV!

We actually don't like turkye not only because of the ottoman conquest but mostly because of the war crimes and genocides turkye made, mostly against greeks and some other ethnicities, in 20th centuty (like the destruction of Smyrna lead by a man that nowdays turks have named "father of all Turks", the Pontian genocide and the invasion of Cyprus in 1974). Also the present Turkys government shows the same attitude as the old ones.

Love from Greece 🇬🇷 or Hellas ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉( from the Greek island Rodos or Rhodes)

12:01 Conscription is voluntary from the age of 16 up to 19, then becomes mandatory until 45, You can choose at which time of your life you can serve, but if you want to avoid it, most people pay a psychologist to make them look insane.

10:21 Good question - part of it is due to that; Greece was under the Ottomans for about 400 years (some regions of Modern Greece were longer), but it’s more to do with the atrocities committed by the Ottomans/Turks - such as the Greek genocide (the largest at the time being the Armenian Genocide), Chios Massacre, Occupation of Turkey, daily threats of violence, and daily overflights by Turkey into Greek airspace, just to name a few. With younger generations, on both sides, relations are getting somewhat better…

you defenetly have to go to greece cause i am fron there and it's a beautiful country :)))

With the agreement of Prespes in 2018 ,the modern state North Macedonia, admitted that they have nothing to do with the ancient kingdom of Macedonia and of course Alexander the Great so in fact there isn't a controversy (not that there was a serious controversy before. Everyone knew Alexander and Macedonia are greek )

Best country of the world...proud to be Greek.. Read ancient Greek History.. and Ancient philosophers ..

Do one for my country Cyprus. The sovereign Republic of Cyprus.

The ottoman empire period we call the 400 years of slavery. Many monstrosities happened during those years and in generally you can't take away freedom from a Greek person. Also there were about 1M Greek people in colonies in where Turkey is now (they had been there tho way before turks came to the area) and around the 19th century most of them were slaughtered away. Pontian Greeks especially were around 800.000 and 365.000 of them were killed, for us it's a genocide. It's politics and power games, but because we are a small country the blood shed and torture for us was way greater. That's all. Also the religion Christianity and Muslims.

I don’t know if it hasn’t already been mentioned but Greeks and Turks hate each other for a number of reasons. 1453 fall of Constantinople was kind of the first big thing battles battles battles. Then enslavement under Ottoman Empire and finally in 1972 Turkish troops invade northern Cyprus and now we have that whole mess with the UN buffer zone and the dispute. The Cyprus thing is kind of the most recent controversy between the two and it’s still ongoing. Always remember though it’s only the very nationalistic people and the governments that hate each other.

Greece ofc has some relationship problems with Turkey and yes they do indeed come from their common history, but so do most of the Balkan states. Greece although has more differences to solve with Turkey than the other Balkan states mainly because of their common borders (especially in the sea) and the various former Greek cities Turkey has nowadays under their command, of which the two most famous are Constantinople/Istanbul and Smyrna/Ismir. There are many other reasons for the two countries differences but I think that this is one of the reasons that Greeks and Turks have worse relations than Turks have with the rest of the Balkans. Also I would like to clarify that this is mostly political and historical problems and most of the Greek and Turk civilians don't hate each other (Turks might actually be the closest nation to Greece in terms of culture).

The 60 -65% women is a total percentage because men tend to die younger. The percentage of young women (15-35 yo ) is close to 10.03% while men at that age are 10.71% of total population

I guess the main reason for the hate between Greeks and Turks is because Greeks were enslaved for 400 years. Also constantly getting harassed and threatened with war probably also helps towards those feelings.

12:28 maybe I’m crazy but I find it quite beautiful 💖

"Damn Greeks, that's kinda dark!" You have no idea my friend hahaha Even though Greece has adopted Orthodoxy, the religious practices are way darker than let's say Catholicism. We still keep some of our former religious elements (12 Olympian Gods and stuff) and use them in everyday life. A small example would be the Apokries (meaning: staying away from meat, a form of fasting) where we wear masks and gather around a huge fire, dance, drink, and have fun. This occurs during the period of the three weeks before Easter celebrations, on the last Sunday, also called Big Sunday we burn the king of clowns, it is a form of driving away bad spirits, hate, and sin. If you take this example and try to compare it with Orthodoxy it seems so different and unusual, but it's a relic of our former religion (it dates back to the celebration of God Dionysus) coexisting with our current one, and if you ask me, I think that's beautiful.

Ελλάδα (Ellada ) (Hellas ) is how Greece called.

Great video. I want to mention just one thing about the burials that it was innacurate. In Greece we have the cemeteries as anywhere else for burials. We even have the option to burn someone if he prefers. This open thing in the video shows scalps from monasteries. In some monasteries they have these "dark collection" just to remind them death and never get lazy on their spiritual duties. For the rest of the people after three years in the grave, if you pay a fee for every year you can keep the grave or if you don't wish to pay they take the bones into a box with the name of the dead written outside and put it in a building inside the cemetery .The box is closed of course.And that is in the big cities which have problem of space because of high population. Outside the big cities, in villages and small towns you can keep your dead relative for ever into the grave.

Half of these thing I didnt know it and I am Greek ! :/

1 WORLD. 1 NATION. 1 FUTURE = ALL ANCIENT GREEKS. LAST WARNING!!!

When in Greece I’m not far from the Turkish border. In Greece only Barried for 5 years. Unless your bishop.

Well, obviously greece and turkey are not going along well because of history and religion (so 10 sentences to describe a 600+ years history). Greeks were orthodox since the times of the Eastern Roman Empire ("Byzantine"). The empire fell into the hands of the muslim Turks. Religion was very important because it was what separated the two nationalities more or less (and preserved the greek one). When Greece became independent, it was basically just the Peloponnesus. The rest of its land it took by several, subsequent wars against the Ottomans, in an attempt of retaking Constantinople and "recreating" the "Byzantine" empire. The last official war was in the 1920's, at the end of which the two sides signed the treatt of Lausanne, basically setting the borders and separating the two countries. The Turkish side has disputed the validity of that treaty and reject the idea that greeks should hold islands that are near the shores of Turkey, something that has been creating tension between the two countries since then. This for example led to the invasion and illegal military occupation of half of Northern Cyprus by the Turkish in the 1970s, the military crisis at Imia, as well as daily violation of the borders by the Turkish air and naval forces, which all led in openly having their president in late 2022 threatening war against Greece.

greece and modern day north macedonia dont go back longer than 30-50 years. north macedonia only has this name because it is geographycally located in north macedonia and has nothing to do with the ancient macedonias that spoke greek. northen macedonia speak a slavic dialect, as proof serbs and bulgarians can understand them. turkey are mongolians that came from far east and conquered the former persians (modern day iran if i am not mistaken). then in 1453 they invaded the then byzantine empire (easter rooman empire that kept its hellenistic heritage). in 1821 greece revolted and started getting free. at some point we got along but in 1922 turks attacked the greeks in asia minor and slaughtered around 200.000 people. they also made the genocide of ponus and armenias that we were very close with. since then they have been trying to claim the agean (cyprus invasion in 1974 and imia invasion in 1996). nowadays they sent warplanes and ships inside our territory. its bassicaly a bs political thing that the 2 countries cant solve. should greece and turkey work together (maybe along with israel and egypt) they would control a big portion of the merchandise of the word. we generally get along with the turkish people but our goverments need a bombardent so they can all die and we could move on. also both countries are very patriotic

Actually Greece doesn't have a marine fleet. Ship owners of Greek descent use Greece as their base since they have Greek corrupted politicians in their pockets and they pay zero taxes.

Actually Greek - Turkish history is pretty messed up. Greece was conquered in the 1400s I think, there were mostly bad times during the Turkish regime but a few good ones here and there when the administration left people alone to do their thing. In 1821 the Greek revolution started, a Greek state was established and I think in the late 1800s to very early 1900s Greece was quite close to what it is today. Later after WW2 I think as a part of an agreement with the allied forces we were to keep the now Turkish shoreline in Asia minor, as it was traditionally Greek founded cities. However the dictatorship that was established at the time went too far, invaded deep into Turkish territory, thinking they were Alexander the great, or Attila or something, and well, when you get cocky the shit will hit the fan and you will get covered in said shit... At any rate, Greece feels wronged for all those years that it was part of the Othman empire and was mistreated, also for the massacres at the towns on the shoreline of asian minor after the Turks pushed back on the invasion. Turkey on the other hand holds a grudge for the invasion deep in their country, since they were essentially hunted while they retreated. However to this day absurd claims are made from Turkey's part. I don't really blame Turkish people, and I don't think they blame us. It's history at this point. However the Turkish government is not helping to lower the tensions, they are trying to stay in power by feeding into a ethnocentric movement, most Turkish people are actually suffering by a huge crisis right now and things seem to go from bad to worse for them. Quite sad to see actually, and worrying because you never know what people on the edge of the cliff might do. These conditions historically lead to cruel dictatorships, or military fascist states, and that is no bueno, not for us Greeks and not for the Turkish people. Imagine that Erdogan is quite moderate compared to others in Turkey. At any rate I hope I gave some context. If I made any mistakes and a history buff wants to chime in you are most welcome to do so, I am not perfect at history by any means.

WHEN THE GREAT GREEK WARRIOR ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS AROUND THE COUNTRY NORTH MACEDONIA DIDNT EXIST 2300 YEARS LATER THERE EXISTED SO ITS A HUGE JOKE AND THEY CAME FROM BULGARIA

At 18 go to the army not 16

In Hellas you need a lifetime alone only for the topography...another one Abt the history and another one to enjoy the culture and little moments in Life

Malta has the lowest divorce rate in Europe. Greece is ranked 17th. (almost in the middle of the list). Malta is ranked 30th at the bottom of the list.

Can you do reacts of Ecuador 🇪🇨.

Hellas is OP

Hellas as it is our real name (Roman named us Graeci) has a lot of rivalries with countries around it. *Turkey* What you know today as turkey is in fact Hellenic. All those lands were inhabited by Hellenes looooooong before turks came from Central Asia! If you go to ‘’turkey’’ you will see that it’s full of orthodox churches and Hellenic temples and historical sights. There is no turkey mate! All those lands are ours. The problems in the Aegean exists because turkey wants more than it deserves! They want half the Aegean. Those tiny islands called Imia, they belong to Hellas BUT turks went there one day and raised a turkic flag. The Hellenic naval forces went to take it down and the turks killed in cold blood two Hellene soldiers! That’s why there’s still controversy! Hellas were under turkic occupation for more than 400 years. All these years were like torture for us. We were kinda forced to hide our identity, not to speak Hellenic outside. They forced us to convert to Islam… they were stealing our foods and money… kidnapping Hellene children for the harems… Torture!

One correction, Greece join the EU in 1981 and not in 2001, and 2001 there was a change from the national currency that all the countries had in Europe, to euro.

We were enslaved is the reason why...

we hate trukey bcs they wanna take the half greece like thay occupied the half cyprus..both nato alliance... WTF

i tell you only this and not make analisus about history. IF THIS MORNING GREECE IS SAY THAT IS TAKING ALL THE GREEK ORIGIN WORDS FROM CLOBAL THE ALL WESTERN WORLD IS GOING TO COALLAPSE CAUSE THEY DONT HAVE WORDS TO REPLACE EM. LIKE GEOGRAFY/MATHEMATICS ASTRONOMY.ETC.. THANKS I WAIT YOUR RESPONCE!!

It's not hate with turkey!I mean we was slaves for 400 years!so dont trigger ous!just leave your life let ous live our life and dont talk shit about ous!

Who says we don't like turkey? We love turkey 🙄

One Hellas is Makedonia, Stravon 4bc. Slavs come in Makedonian territory before a few centuries and stole the histore and name from us. So Makedonia is Greece - HELLAS

Wait, that video originally had a story about Alexander the Great, proving that he was greek. Did you take it from GeographyNow or from another channel? Did he cut it out?
