ȘTEFAN CEL MARE MERITĂ UN MONUMENT ÎN HELDENPLATZ, LA VIENA! 🇷🇴🇲🇩🇦🇹🇪🇺

Cer ridicarea unui monument dedicat lui Ștefan cel Mare în inima Vienei, ca simbol al legăturii istorice și al prieteniei dintre România, Republica Moldova și Austria.

Ștefan cel Mare este una dintre marile personalități ale istoriei europene. Viena, capitală a Europei Centrale, trebuie să onoreze și eroii care au apărat civilizația europeană și au modelat istoria continentului nostru.

Europa își onorează apărătorii.
Viena îl onorează pe Ștefan cel Mare.
România, Moldova și Austria – împreună într-o Europă puternică și unită.

Whole thread is just Turks sucking each other off

[onur ozcan @oozn]

ottoman cultural influence in europe is unprecedented too

in 1651 la varenne publishes his book telling the french to stop putting sugar on meat and start making cakes for the end of the meal

by then ottoman sultans had been finishing their banquets with perfectly layered syrupy baklava for almost two centuries

and right as france discovers modern cuisine it also discovers coffee, made fashionable in paris by the ottoman envoy soliman aga in 1669

then the french copied the kahvehane of istanbul and turned them into the cafes

so today almost every "european lifestyle" brag and "the american mind cannot comprehend this" post has a piece of ottoman culture in it

@CyrusxFGO @whit48128 The Hungarians literally rebelled because they wanted to oppress the other nations but weren't allowed by the Austrians. Austria guaranteed freedom of religion under Joseph the 2nd for all types of Christians, meanwhile Hungarians started a magyarisation campaign already in 1867

@whit48128 You're a Syrian refugee in Turkey larping as a victim of Austrian oppression, holy humiliation fetish

@whit48128 When did Austria colonise Turkey? Wish we did...

@SPHistoriador Nope. It's true his political achievements were as big as his military ones, the combination of which makes him the greatest figure of antiquity. But his military deeds in Gaul and Greece and Egypt are just as insane as his political moves in Rome.

@ryyberyy @nichtsundnull @MeathGuerilla Your own map conflicts with what you just said lol

[meridian @meridian98_]

@nichtsundnull @MeathGuerilla Yes, but by 1870 and 1914, there were no great offensive actions done by the Ottomans.

[meridian @meridian98_]

@nichtsundnull @MeathGuerilla That's nonsense. Since earliest time the Ottoman army incorporated large numbers of Balkan Christians, a number which only increased with the centuries as the timariot system gave way to provincial militias and an inflated jannisary corps, bashibazouks, Albanians and others

[meridian @meridian98_]

@nichtsundnull @MeathGuerilla Wow this is stupid. In 1800, the Ottoman Empire had a population of some 26mil people while Russia as a whole had some 35 million. In the decades and centuries before the Ottomans had around 30 million people.

[meridian @meridian98_]

@MeathGuerilla Neither were the Russians in WW2, yet they fielded the largest armies ever assembled in history. Population density isn't a (decisive) factor in fielding large armies. And as I said in my other reply, the Ottomans had more than enough manpower to assemble the largest armies.

[meridian @meridian98_]

@_Plac3_hold3r @MeathGuerilla The British isles (specifically England) are some of the most densely populated areas of Europe. England had some 4 million people, and that was 2/3rd of the Isles' total population. You should compare Anatolia with regions like France, Germany, Poland, Spain or the Balkans.

[meridian @meridian98_]

@MeathGuerilla And even so the Empire had a total population of around 30 million by 1600, making it the second largest if not the largest entity in Europe. The most important and largest components of the Ottoman army were Rumelian, which were more prestigious than the Asian counterparts.

[meridian @meridian98_]

@MeathGuerilla What kind of ridiculous mental athleticism is that? Anatolia had around 8 million people in 1600, which is completely reasonable for its area. If anything modern Anatolia is ridiculously overpopulated even for its size.
