Irredentism is childish. The city has been a Turkish one for hundreds of years. You want to go fight 10 million people who have a greater right to call that spot 'home' than anyone else on the planet, be my guest

The Turks turned Constantinople from a shithole cluster of villages surrounding some dead ruins, into one of the world's greatest cities at the center of one of its greatest empires.

>>2164170
Why is it okay when Turks take cities from the Greeks but not the other way around?

So they can pretend that the next genocide they commit isn't happening.

The Armenian genocide was committed by the ottoman empire which has nothing to do with the republic of Turkey

Same reason Westerners say the colonies helped the colonized.

Napoleon was madly in love with his first wife, she cared not for his passions, mocking his letters of love with her friends, he later discovered her infidelities, from then on he swore with women he would do what he wished, and did.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Mongol_invasion_of_Hungary

Talabuga, who led the main army in Northern Hungary, was stopped by the heavy snow of the Carpathians. On the march up, his force was devastated by logistical factors, namely a shortage of food which caused the deaths of thousands of his soldiers, as attested to by the Galician-Volynian Chronicle and certain contemporary Polish sources.[22] This was likely the result of the traditional tactics of castle warfare, which involve starving out the invaders by hoarding all available food stocks, while launching small raids and sallies from the castles. Predictably, Talabuga's forces failed to capture any castles or fortified cities. However, they caused major damage to the civilian population, and raided as far as the Danube. Local Hungarian forces fought the Mongols in many defensive battles, for which the king had promoted several lesser officials who had distinguished themselves.[23] One such battle took place near the castle of Turusko, where the Mongols suffered a sharp defeat with heavy casualties, including 1,000 taken prisoner.[24]

It's a myth. Every superpower has had the same sort of rhetoric about exceptionalism.

>>2163924
Being larger than any other developed economy. Also being an island(geopoliticallyrics speaking) helps alot. Everything else is minor. Basically we have a great spot and we didn't fuck it up.

How historically accurate is the claim that commisars mowed down retreating men?

>>2163322
It was specifically meant to emphasize American dominance.

Hadrian and Gallienus were quite aesthetic, going by the busts.

Well, there was that whole period in between Dunkirk and Barbarossa where they were the only people actually at war with the axis.

>>2163306
France fought on for a month after Dunkirk. Britain just abandoned all their allies on the mainland after 2 weeks of fighting and patted themselves on the back for it.

Also you're forgetting Canada, Australia, Polish partisans, Yugoslav partisans, China if you count the whole Axis, etc.

>>2163323

New to the thread, but counting irregular partisans and Chinese activity but not counting any non-land combat in Europe is incredibly stupid.

Or are we going to pretend that North Africa, the Battle of Britain, the strategic bombing campaign, and the Battle of the Atlantic just didn't happen?

>>2163247

No, they think they were tortured by Judaeo-Bolsheviks into saying that.

Romans were short people. Most of them would fall into the category of manlets nowadays.

>>2163059
almost everyone living on earth in 1AD would be manlets due solely to malnutrition

being our standards of 'tall' in a Roman world would make you literal Goliath vs davids
