Greece, once one of the four ancient civilizations, and neighbor turkey's enmity and resentment, have been entangled for more than 400 years, has long been unable to distinguish who is right and wrong, which is right and wrong, 400 years ago the war has made Greece and Turkey merge, merge and not merge.
From a map, it can be clearly seen that the Aegean Sea in people's dreams has been occupied by Greece for more than 90%, and the maps have been drawn to the doorstep of Turkey, and Turkey is not the Turkey of that year, or it will not be so comfortable to accept such a result.
So why is the 400-year bloody feud that makes the people of the two countries basically look similar, but their hearts are full of hatred, and after so many years, the national hatred and family hatred have still not subsided.
First, the chaotic West Asia
Greece and Turkey are two wronged countries, originally guarded by the Aegean Sea, and there are also territorial neighbors on land, but this beautiful Aegean Sea is not divided equally according to international practice, but Greece occupies more than 2400 of the 2500 islands, and Turkey only gets 80.
How can Turkey, which has a much larger land area than Greece, be willing to accept this anger, which is related to the territory of its own country, and although this distribution has aroused Turkey's dissatisfaction, it has not seen Turkey's real use of force, but it is only angry in its heart.
This dates back to 30 BC, when Greece was really an ancient civilization with a long history, the country's economy was prosperous, and the people lived a leisurely life, but all this was destroyed by the entry of Rome.
Greece was ruled by the ancient Romans until 394 AD, and was not divided until 395 AD, Greece belonged to the Eastern Roman Empire, which was later the Byzantine Empire, while Turkey established the Ottoman Empire and lived with many peoples.
Originally living in peace, the Ottoman Empire first provoked war in 1453, and achieved a decisive victory, changing its name to Istanbul, and from then on began to claim to be the heir of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire also began to introduce Islamic culture.
In the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire entered its heyday, they also became the leaders of Islamic forces, and also competed with some European countries, Greece returned to the Ottoman Empire, and was also forced to practice Islam.
However, the powerful Ottoman Empire did not treat the Greeks with friendliness, racial discrimination, brutal torture, so that the Greeks began to resist, but the Ottomans did not give the Greeks a chance, every riot was suppressed, and more brutal atrocities were committed.
Until 1683, for nearly 400 years, the Ottoman Empire held absolute management, but in the same year, the Ottoman siege of Vienna failed, allowing Greece to see the opportunity, because the Austrian army's weapons were too advanced, the warriors were also very brave, and the invincible Ottoman Empire was defeated.
The war was lost and driven out of Hungary, which left the mighty Ottoman Empire devastated and returned to its home in the Aegean Sea, but in 1687, the Venetian army came again and snatched the Peloponnese from the Ottoman Empire, and then occupied Athens, Lepanto and other places.
Venice thus began targeted killings, they only targeted the Ottoman Empire, and in 1697 launched the Battle of Santa, the Ottoman Empire this time was not so lucky to see, has reached the end of the Road Ottoman Empire, no longer able to fight, can only beg for peace.
At this time, the fighting nation of Russia, which also came to take a kick and occupied the city of Azov, had to admire the speed of Russia's offensive and its ability to seize opportunities, which was really higher and faster than other countries.
These wars were used together on the side of the Ottoman Empire, so that this huge empire also went into decline, and at the end of the 17th century, the Ottoman Empire had to declare an armistice, negotiate peace with other countries, and was forced to sign the Treaty of Kalovitz, which also redivided the territory of the Ottoman Empire.
2. Declare war on independence
This Greece is also worthy of the ancient civilization, has been hidden, but did not wait for the opportunity, this saw the Ottoman Empire like a grasshopper after the autumn, quickly organized people and horses, and Britain and France two alliances, unveiled the pole, began to declare war for independence.
In 1827, Greece finally achieved independence again, but the inhuman life they lived under the Ottoman Empire made every Greek full of hatred in his heart, eager to kill people directly with a knife, so when dividing the islands, he painted 96% of the islands in the Aegean Sea to his family name, leaving only 4% to Turkey.
According to normal, Turkey cannot put up with it like this, but who is behind Greece, Britain and France are looking at each other, that is, your territory will expand, you will fight if you do not obey, where Turkey still has the strength to use force, can only admit it, and was forced to sign the "Treaty of Lausanne".
Since then, the two countries have been implemented in accordance with the demarcation of this territory, and Greece has finally regained its freedom, but the two countries have not been at peace with each other, but because Britain and France have always had troops on the island, Turkey has not found a suitable opportunity to move to Greece.
However, when the British left, they once again exposed his bad intentions, deliberately provoked contradictions, let Greece and Turkey land on the island at the same time, suppressed Cyprus, and declared the dispute during independence, which also made the two wronged countries once again run to the same battlefield.
The Greeks said that it was originally their territory, and Turkey did not give in this time, and almost used force, but in the end Greece still moved out of the "Lausanne Treaty" of that year, ignoring Turkey, in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, if nothing else, the division of the Aegean islands is unreasonable.
Turkey has no way to find back in the territory, it opened the border, all at once refugees poured into Greece, but Greece also vetoed, Turkey's military resolution against Syria, really you sing I appeared, the two neighbors are in a war of words.
Greece, once an ancient civilization, after so many years of war and oppression, although it still maintains a romantic atmosphere of life, but it is no longer the ancient civilization that guarded the Aegean Sea, Greece and Turks, both very beautiful, deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, all show different temperament.
3. Summary
The two neighboring countries should get along with each other, let the people live and work in peace, and let the trade continue, but the two neighbors love and kill each other, entangled, and as for who the ancestors of Turkey are now, they themselves cannot tell the difference.
Turkey and Greece have experienced the pain of war, should not let the war start again, although now the two countries, on the surface seem to be at peace, but we often see and hear some reports, the war of words between the two countries, we advocate world peace, but also hope that neighbors live in peace, together to maintain a tranquility.
