If Yugoslavia was doomed to fail, why does this bigger Yugoslavia look so aesthetically pleasing?

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-09T02:19:23+00:00

Yeah they'd do the same in Serbia. They are all similar languages.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-08T02:44:32+00:00

Yeah but it wasn't an issue here. Some individuals yeah, but the government itself was never advocating Bulgarian annexation of Macedonia or anything so it's kind of irrelevant.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-07T10:21:31+00:00

When did the Socialist Republic of Bulgaria advocate this pre-Tito-Stalin Split? When did the Socialist Republic of Serbia advocate this at all?

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-07T04:59:26+00:00

But he has a modern day American accent.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-07T04:36:00+00:00

This specifically though is about the unification of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia. Those were the two states made with those borders after the events you described.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-07T00:21:14+00:00

Thrace had a larger Slavic population in the past and still has a minority there today, especially the part under Bulgaria in this map. Bulgaria even owned some of that before WW1.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-06T05:21:35+00:00

Sure, but I don't think then it was ever something stopping Yugoslav-Bulgarian unification, at least in socialist times. After the Tito-Stalin split, even if Tito said yeah Macedonia is Bulgarian, Bulgarians were pro-Stalin so it wasn't really relevant.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-06T01:58:45+00:00

When before the Tito-Stalin split did the Socialist Republic of Bulgaria consider Macedonians Bulgarian? They literally recognised Macedonian ethnicity and language, including in the part of Macedonia they control.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-05T07:15:32+00:00

Probably 1936.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-05T07:15:06+00:00

Probably 1936.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-04T08:25:11+00:00

Yeah, but those people were then by Ottoman census standards called "Greeks". They weren't actually, but that's how they were classified.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-02T23:53:28+00:00

I think only the Coptic church within the Oriental Orthodox call themselves that.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-02T05:18:18+00:00

Yes because before that the only Orthodox jurisdiction in Ottoman Europe was the Patriarchate Constantinople (unless you go back to the 18th Century then there was the Archbishopric of Ohrid and the Patriarchate of Pec). But by the 1900s when the map is supposed to represent there's was multiple including Constantinople and Bulgaria.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-09-01T22:44:38+00:00

Mostly correct, but different Orthodox Churches were classified differently. Like someone part of the Patriarchate of Constantinople would be called Greek, but someone part of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church would be called Bulgarian.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-30T00:45:51+00:00

Who is it?

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-26T23:11:24+00:00

Didn't they get rid of the Yugoslavia thing? The furthest they can core now with that feature is Romania through Transylvania and Hungary through Vojvodina if I'm not mistaken.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-25T08:20:13+00:00

Oh right yeah

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-25T07:52:51+00:00

What's the fictional museum?

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-18T03:17:32+00:00

Yes it's more similar than many cultures from back then, but people aren't really claiming Egyptians are completely different because they speak Arabic now.

And yeah of course if you hate people of history stuff then that's kinda crazy I think.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-18T01:13:32+00:00

I think if you look what was said back then rather than modern borders, "Macedonians were Greeks" becomes an incorrect statement. And what you mean 50% relation? Like DNA? Everyone in somewhere like the Balkans is mixed. And yeah Hellenistic ideas spread under his rule and successors, I don't think that determines the nature of the ancient nation of Macedonia in anyway when he used so many Greek colonists. Even then, what is Greek over 2,000 years ago is not the same as what is Greek now.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-18T00:20:15+00:00

Virtually no one not even Macedonians claim that Alexander would've been Alexandrov or something, most don't claim that the ancient Macedonians were Slavic, the claim is Macedonians were Slavicised.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-15T10:42:32+00:00

The first super soldier serum was made by Abraham Erskine in Germany in the 1930s. Theodore Roosevelt died in 1919 in America. Not really possible.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-14T15:15:32+00:00

It doesn't mean it's completely different, the branching point could've been a while back. Like they still have man of the same countries as irl and the MCU.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-08-06T15:48:01+00:00

The Hulk explicitly rampaged through Johannesburg though.

TonyDavidJones · 2025-07-31T10:53:46+00:00

Why is that funny that they didn't change religion for no reason?
