    Default So, lets make it simple, : The Balkan Wars

    For us ignorants out there, after spending more than 9 months on the forum, we are still not very clear about one important issue. The Balkan Wars.
    Who are the players?
    What are the issues?
    Which are the multi teamers?

    My knowledge so far...
    Kosovo Issue : rashka, Sorab, Guapo vs dralos, Drawing Live, albozfinest, inird
    Islam Issue : Vanguard, Mraz vs All others
    Slavs vs Illyrians issue : rashka, Sorab, Guapo, XtraXavier, rusty, Sarmatian, jusia9, etc etc vs dralos and his albanian brothers (and sisters, if there are any (oops, Aura is there )))

    You can't make the Balkans 'simple'. It just doesn't fit. It's like trying to make America secular; on the surface it looks that way, but if you dig deeper, you'll see it's a nothing like the surface

    Actually the reason of Balkan wars is not that complicated as it looks. Balkan wars has been created to land grab from Ottoman Macedonia. It was some kind of race about who will get the biggest portion of it. Ofc the great powers was behind the scenes because Russia wanted Bulgaria to either get Aegean Macedonia or Istanbul to make sure Russian naval force safely sets sail to Mediterranean. On the other hand, British empire wanted Greece to get Aegean Macedonia as well as stopping Russian lap dogs Bulgaria to get close to Istanbul bosphorus at the same time.

    Brits wanted to prevent Russia to set sail in Mediterranean and they desired them to remain as locked up inside Blacksea as it was before. Greece took over Aegean part and eventually Brits won the game in the end. No one cared who gets Pirin and Vardar sections at all. Those were unimportant parts of Macedonia, in terms of great power`s benefit.

    It's a pandora's box and you shouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. There are land issues that go back more than 1000 years.

    For the 3489249293479012379723018947nth time, the Turks show their only card/argument:

    "Why are you behaving like "giaurs"? We were benevolent and all mercy-full, we built you roads, we wanted the best for you, and you treated us like this?"

    Nice try "afendi", doesn't work anymore.
