Was Istanbul ever sieged by a Christian force after its fall in 1453
>implying we would ever give them that chance
>>1826134
Yeah you just surrendered and gave the city up without a fight. Good one.
Greeks tried to take back Anatolia after WWI, but I don't think they got anywhere close to Constantinople.
>>1826149
Funny since as I recall Istanbul is still ours while we are hundreds of thousand of greeks and armenians less.
>>1826162
You still didn't fight the occupation faggot. And I care neither for you nor for any of the other subhumans you mentioned.
>>1826176
>You still didn't fight the occupation faggot.
So why did the T*rks get it back?
Serious question.
>>1826186
So that /pol/ and white people in general can LARP about "muh crusades" and "d-deus vult!" while in reality do nothing about it.
And the fact that it is rightful Turkish clay and that we built the great mosq of Haghia Sophia during the Sultanate period of Rome.
>>1826186
The usual.
Betrayal.
British betrayal iirc.
>>1826233
If by build you mean add those ugly af calligraphy panels and repurpose some icons sure
>>1826250
No, as in built from the ground up by the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum.
Don't tell me you are one of those revisionist christcuck byzaboo's that think they were responsible for such masterful Turkic architecture.
>>1826186
There was a war of independence shortly following WW1.
Russians stopped by British diplomats in 1878 very close to Istambul
>>1826262
>turkish education
As expected of a culture stuct in the 1600s.
>>1826262
Turknigger, this is bad comedy.
>>1826357

The Christians got it back but the opportunistic Greeks were fucking weak and got their shit pushed in.
>Largely avoid WWI
>Still defeated by people who LOST IN WWI
The height of fucking incompetence.

No idea, I filtered him ages ago.

Never besieged.
But it was after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire under greek control; the Russians were forced to stop right at the gates by european pressure and during the Balkan Wars the turkish army was decisively defeated not too far away, so a move against it would have followed if the Ottoman Empire hadnt surrendered first. Also, the Gul Movement besieged it for half a night during 2016
>>1827096
>the Gul Movement besi-
Fuck off Turkroach.
Gallipoli was meant to capture Istanbul
>>1826410
Greater Kurdish Empire when?
>>1826410
lols, time to get kurd' roach.
>>1826600
well it's to be expected to get defeated when the guy fighting against you is literally the real life inspiration for 40k's god-emperor of mankind
>>1826162
Istanbul is not yours, it is Kurdish clay now
>>1828203
I mean Constantinople, not instanbul, there is no such thing as istanbul.

>Catholics
>Helping the Eastern Orthodox Church
>>1826149
Greeks never had constaninople it was always under british control and british gave it back after turkey won their independence war
Somebody slap a fez on this.
It's what I see every time that fucking Turk posts something.
>>1826600
While Ottomans were defeated in WWI, a lot of the officers survived and came out of that war very, very experienced.
So when the Greeks - who just entered the war in 1917- went up against the remains of the Ottoman Army, they were soundly beaten.
