Is Croatia a Balkan country?

[Insuperable]

Znam da su ljudi iz dinarida skloniji korupciji od ostalih jer je to tamo ustaljena praksa stoljećima. Ali ne samo oni. Istra je leglo korupcije, a ima potpuno drugačiji mentalitet. Malo ljudi to zna.

Sve je to isti kurac sto se tice korupcije. Nitko nije ni po cemu poseban sto se tice korupcije.

[Bobby Martnen]

Yes.

For example one French guy told me has some ancestors from the Balkans.

When I asked where exactly in the Balkans, he answered: from Hungary...

It shows that some Western Europeans have a very broad idea of the Balkans.

BTW, Hungary was in a union with Croatia for a few centuries:

English subtitles:

On 2-3 rare occasions, I've seen Hungarians and Slovenes themselves refer to Hungary and Slovenia as part of the Balkans. I don't associate those regions with the Balkans myself, but that's what I heard them say. Of course, they're a tiny minority but its interesting that there are some people in those countries that think like that, however small their amount is.

Also, how similar would you say Hungary is to Poland? I remember you saying before that Poland and Hungary are only great friends because you guys have nothing in common (or something like that).

Balkan is artificial GeoPolitical term invented in 19th century by one nation from western Europe (guess which) to keep "sheeps" togethar in their own country, nevermind.

Anyway, when Balkan term is invented area of Croatia was never part of it on any map of Europe from any european country UNTIL Croatia entered into Yugoslavia 1918.

You can check Italian, German, British, Spanish, Irish, MARTIAN, Austrian, Russian etc maps of Europe from 19th century and early 20th, and you will not find Croatian area as Balkan on any of them, but in fact Croatia is shown on them as border to Balkan.


THIS IS A FACT MY FRIEND, I can show those maps till the end of the world, all of them.

But I would rather say somethin more about term Balkan itself, that term IS AN INSULT to every nation on this area of Europe, because it is invented as God awful term for ppl who cannot live without war, so that everyone can point fingers at them sayin; "look, if we're not careful, we could end up like war savages like them".

South-Eastern Europe ("Balkan") was once A DIAMOND OF EUROPE, until 1453, area which was THE CREAM OF CIVILIZATION of Europe troughout Medievals, now..., it is a JOKE.

And all of those ppl in so called "Balkan" who loves that term, they're like some idiots who love when someone pissing on them, same thing.

Balkan is not a peninsula, It's not, that's just a Geographical fact, if one would consider that as peninsula than you can throw all laws of Geography away about what makes peninsula a peninsula.

It is a GeoPolitical term invented IN PURPOSE, FOR A REASON, for the sheeps "on Balkan" and for the sheeps outside of Balkan to keep them togethar (AKA; UK).

Ok and?

What makes you think I won't move south? Sweden is destroyed by cultural marxism and crimes.

Sorry but Albania was one of the most marxist country in the world till 1992..

Well fyi I don't drink and never have but yes Brits drink way too much.

Here is what you have to understand, no Brit cares if an italian or spanish calls us ugly because we know they are short, no muscle, beta araboids from broke shitholes. Their ideal is tall and blond. So yes maybe British masses are sometimes ugly but a.) they are still superior to spanish and italian masses and b.) the British upper classes and elites are more like Nordics and Germanics eg everything little greasy spanish wine waiters dream they should be.

Modern population genetics suggests that the ancestors of the majority of English people were not fifth-century Anglo-Saxon invaders, but actually came from the 'Basque' region of South West France and northern Spain..




Blonde and tall like these ?

I know Croats, and Greeks for that matter like to believe they're not Balkan countries, but they are.

The fact that you ignore it doesn't mean that the fundamental differences between your country and the above which separate them to different categories from yours don't exist

Lika and Kordun are also Balkan influenced regions, but not Fully like Bosnia-Herzegovina.

This is not "Balkan influenced", this is Dinaric local culture. There is no Dinaric culture in Romania, Bulgaria, most of Albania and Greece, so you can not Dinaric culture call Balkan culture (maybe west Balkan, but its not only local culture in west Balkan, so its also innacurate).
Inner Dalmatia have Dinaric culture too.

Dinaric culture among ethnic Serbs is dominant, and Serbs for Croats are Balkanites, so maybe this is reason why Croats see Dinaric regions in Croatia as "balkanized".

Are you sure ? Translyvania in many ways reminded me of Bosnia, with it's mountains and sheperding culture. Only difference is instead of Oriental there is Central European legacy in their cities.
