The History of the Balkans: Every Year

Crazy how close Byzantium came to returning in 1920. sadly the empire could only cheat death once apparently

Why do you call it Eastern Roman Empire, that was it's name at the beginning of the split of the Roman Empire. Afterwards it was called Byzantium.

Sorry ,but a BIG NO for DACIA !!!

In the Balkans we are One People's,same eats,musaka,baklava same traditions,same problems,The West divide us to command us,Divide and empire.United we are Great power

The biggest problem in the Balkans was caused by the Ottomans, this also caused the last war, the difference between religions and cultures no longer held.

I am Macedonian. Why does Macedonia not exist? (except the ancient Greek state)

More old maps you see more you understand that history they told us in school it's 90% fake

Kosovo IS Serbia

Ahh, the balkan peninsula, one of the most unstable places in human history, in fact the only entity that unified them for quite a long time was the Roman Empire.
Though i have to point out a territorial imprecision: all the territory above the Danube river, the Istrian peninsula and the part of Carniola close to Italy are not part of the Balkan peninsula.

We were always a small Eden. România's history has such a vibe just crazy seeing the balkans occupied by the Roman empire and Dacia held strong for so long, important for the people of Rome that they named another region Dacia lol.

Romania is not in the Balkans peninsula , we are Carpatian people, we belong to Carpatian mountains and Danube rivere separete use from Balkans Mountains and balkanian countries !

TIL that Turkey - not the ottoman empire - were the ones who renamed it to Istanbul. The more you know

This is cartoon fantasy . Where are the artifacts? Where are the statues stone writings, jewelry, pottery? Frescoes, mosaics , temples, coins ? Palaces , archeological sights ? On the artifacts only name Macedonia , Macedonians and Macedonian exists. Non of the fictional Slavs Bulgars Greeks Serbs etc are ever mentioned. They didn't existed ever! The newly made colonies from 19 and 20 the cent are made by Russia , Britain , Austria and France .

🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷

Nice work of Ottoman empire ❤

Türklerin gelişi muhteşem

falcifikat total

Bulgaria after 1940s never was Russia.

Vidimo Bosnu al nikako da vidimo vladara ,inače vrlo sh amaterski skovano!

DARDANIA ILIRIJA ALBANIJA

FAKE 00;00 -> 06;19 drawing mapping

The Ottomans messed up everything

the country of Skopje has nothing to do with Macedonia anyway. Macedonia is Greek,in Greek: Μακεδονία

Infinite respect for the Greeks since ancient times, does anyone understand how much it affects the Balkans? Very nice video, it just created a question for me. Did the country of North Macedonia steal the name of the Macedonians from the ancient Macedonians? I mean the Greeks Philippos Alexandros etc.if they did that it seems like they are stealing a nation's history just to get some identity

Proud to be Albanian that means that the alder people in Europe they are Albanian where is the Greeks they forgotten to come from toilet😂😂😂😂😂

Dacians🤑🤑

THE JOKE IS THAT THE GREEK REVOLUTION STARTED FROM ROMANIA AND ODYSSUS IN THE CRIMEA😉

Notice how Kosovo is Serbia

fire music

We were the Avars, Bulgars, Huns, Cumans, Kipchaks and Pechekes! Long Live Turks! You claim that Turks are not Europeans. European history was written with Turks. We were always here.If you take a genetic test, you will see with your own eyes that some of your ancestors are of Turk origin. I should add one more information. Vlad, who is considered the founder of Romania, is also of Turk origin. He is one of the Cuman Turks.

If all the Balkans form 1 state called Balkania or Balkan union, we will be the one of the biggest powers ever seen, because we all have cultural thing in common or our languages have similarities even our dna is not that different

Why isn't Thrace shown as being under Macedonian control? My understanding was that Phillip had essentially vassalised it and Alexander cemented his control all the way to the Danube is his first campaign. I don't think I've ever seen a map depicting Macedon's control as being so sparse.

I love that greece is purple as to say they are the ancestors of eastern rome

Great video greetings from Montenegrin 🇲🇪❤️

Huns, Avars, Bulgars, Pechenegs, Cumans, Ottomans are Turkic people.

Greece > All

Misspelled Skopja.

croatia did not exist until 1991, so wtf is this shit?

OMG, Wrong map on many levels. croatia did not exist after 1102 when it was occupied by the HUNGARIANS until 1991.

Even the fact that you start with the writing "pre Indo-European" shows that you are a victim of fake history. No such a thing ever existed.

Modern day Macedonians will not be too happy that they can't find themselves on the map until 1944.
They probably think there must be a mistake. 😂

1350 WAS PERFECT

Everything went south after 500 AD for the ethnicities that lived in this peninsula but their descendants will always live on this land

Very nice video.. surely behind it there is a lot of work and many hours. However, some details are lost.. such as Epirus which you show much later than reality.. and Illyria is not even visible.. they are 2 main historical states that existed before 2000BC but we don't see them. Also during the time of Yugoslavia, today's North Macedonia was not called Macedonia.. when Yugoslavia broke up and after some time it took the name of the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia and in 2019 it took the name of North Macedonia. A state with a nominal Macedonian name.. it was the ancient Macedonia of Alexander the Great, which was also a Greek state, not a Slavic one.. since there were not even Slavs at that time in the area of ​​ancient Macedonia.

1944 Macedonia until now? This is so wrong
