Such as some Balkan nations often consider Janissaries and their forceful recruitment as slavery somehow while in reality they were paid extremely well, could buy property, marry and retire!! On the other hand ''free'' Villeins (Medieval era european peasants) who were vast majority of European population couldn't buy property, couldn't retire and couldn't even leave their lords' farm without their permission and the most importantly european rulers kept forcefully recruiting them for centuries!!

Slovenia helped spark the protest to leave Yugoslavia by having it's delegation walk out of the meeting followed by croatia etc. They were simultaneously sending troops into croatia as they were moving into Slovenia.

When the Yugoslav wars started only then the JNA “ was basically Serbia under Milošević” so you beat that weak JNA that was basically the Serbian army, not the original JNA.

So, it is a continuation of the 1st Bulgarian state. The only real gap is the Ottoman Empire, but the Bulgarian identity never ceased to exist. However, the borders are not the same as before the Ottomans. It is like saying that Poland was created in 1918 and forgetting the ancient state of Mieszko I (966AD).

Technically you can hate Turkey.But you can't change the truth that the majority of Turks particularly live in the western coast of Turkey are the descendants of whole balkan nations.Some of them know where their ancestry come from, some don't but researchers say millions are settled since the ottoman time. Even the founder of the turkish republic Ataturk himself from balkans. So someone from balkan state can say i hate Turkey but it also means he hates his own people too.

Wakanda Foreva you are obviously referring to the arvanites but because you are a brainwashed idiot you call them albanians. Albania was not even a thing until the 20th century. Arvanites migrated to greece in the late middleages from modern albania. Of course arvanites and albanians have the same roots but one is albanian and the other is greek. They have lived with the greeks for many centuries, almost a millenium. And since they fought as greeks in the greek independence then they are greeks end of story. Also you should be aware of the hatred between arvanites and turk-albanians in 1821. They have nothing in common besides the language and that’s also gone now so now you have completely nothing in common. The arvanites themselves have greek religion and obsiously consider themselves greeks. You don’t want to call them albanians. You might get your ass kicked. And also for you information, you uninformed brainwashed moron, the revolution started in Morea (peloponese) by Mavromihalis and the maniots. I’ll give you a month time to google everything I just told you. I’ll give you some years extra time to finish elementary school. Then you can answer to me.

Did he really describe southslavs as illyrians.... This is why some people should be permitted from explaining history. p.s Roman province of illyricum and the illyrians were inhabitants in balkans but much before the slavs migrated and settled in balkans. By the time slavs arrived, illyria dissapared in thin air, the only illyrians who managed to survive the slavic migration are the Albanians alongside with the Hellen Greeks...these two both have unique languages whilst 350 milion slavs worldwide understand each other (for example a croatian can understand a Bulgarian and a Montenegrin can understand a Ukrainian)

Very good and on point video. Just a little clarification: the nation state of Bulgaria was established in 1878, then in 1885 there was the serbo-bulgarian war provoked by the unification of Bulgaria with ,,Eastern Rumelia" (a purely artificial country with mainly Bulgarian ethnicity) and in 1908 is the full independence from the Ottomans.

Yes you are absolutely correct, just to do that you need to change Slavs entirely. If Slavs were not so distracted fighting each other, the Mongols would've had hard time invading eastern europe or the Turks invading the Balkans. But because they were not united against the common enemy, the Turks ruled over the Balkans for some 500 years with little or no difficulties. Few insurrections (mainly by one group of people) which of course didn't succeed really, only worked with the help of the great powers and when the ottoman empire went into decline. Today the Balkans would've been much more developed and economically successful, if we made a stand against the Turks, not spending 500 years getting exploited in every way. Sadly we didn't and now we are back to what we were doing before the Turks came, hating each other and projecting each others' nationalistic fantasies instead of collaborating with each other. Left economically depended on bigger powers, making our people leave to work abroad or stay and be lied to by corrupt politicians.

That's true af. The Balkans and mainly the Byzantine Empire were the most advanced area in Europe before the Turks set foot and brought illiteracy , Islam and absolutely nothing of value with them. But the Balkans were also the worst thing to happen in the Ottoman Empire. They lost a lot of money and millions of soldiers fighting mainly the Greeks , the Bulgarians and the Serbs. Money and soldiers they could use to defend their territories in the Middle East and Africa. They tried so hard to keep the Christian lands in their Empire that they forgot to defend the Muslim lands. Imagine if these Turk dumbasses had Saudi Arabia and the other oil rich countries of the Middle East today. They would have been richer than the U.S.A. Instead of trying to transform the Arabs into Turks , they tried to interfere more with the Christians , who would rather stick the sun in their own assholes than call themselves " Turks ". 1821 and the Greek War of Independence is the beginning of their end. After that everything goes down like a tower made of paper. Within the next century this evil monstrosity , which brought pure misery to the Balkans stood no more.

As a proud Balkan i can say with a hand on my heart that the only reason for conflict in this region is geopolitical interests from abroad. The Balkans have been a multicultural region for thousands of years and we as people are used to this living style and have learned to overcome our differences, one way or the other. Conflicts are created by the ones that are hungry for power. War is the last thing that Balkans wish for. The Balkans know the cost of war and we will never let such a disaster happen again. Hopefuly someday we will create a true symbol of peace - a Balkan Union. A land united not by an ideology or religion, but by Faith - faith in the human heart, that can overcome every difference, and can not be bound by hatred.
