Austrians are Germans and Macedonians are Greeks.
i agree with the first, its less clear on Macedonians being greeks. Culturally they were distinct from the core greek city states.
I thought there were thought of as hellenes, but they were like the cletuses of Greece. They spoke greek so they were not barbarians. But did so with a weird accent.
France conquered Corsica from Genoa (not Italy, which didn't exist as a political entity) the year before Napoleon was born there. He's a proper Frenchman
>england conquered Uganda, Mbapi Nkongo is quintessentially british
if he scores a few more belters for norf fc hes english as the queen
No.
He is only french by law of land and like you said, It happened that the french annexed corsica a year before his birth by coincidence.
By the law of blood, he is literally an Italian with a Tuscan aristocratic lineage
Just ask Napoleon what he is: he said he was french.
Stalin was a israelite (Dzugashvili or whatever the ortograph = dzugash "Juda", vili "son of".
Just ask a Somalian who he is, he will say he's swedish
Christians had biblical names. They picked those up when censuses started requiring commoners to have surnames.
Turks didn't become asiatic until the late medieval Chinese population boom caused pulse migrations.
Syria is what the Greeks called the northern levant after Assyrian migrations. It's where Israel supposedly was. Phoenicia was south of it where Judah supposedly was in the Egyptian dominated south. Israel and Judah are modern colloquialisms because they didn't exist the the early classical period. Palaestina comes from the Greek which is a borrowing of the Egyptian peleset, which are the people's that came from Europe with the Sea People's.
They were Dorian's,they said they were Dorians. I've never seen any source name a "Macedonian" dialect. The Dorian's came into the region around the 13th century BC. They didn't pick up Slavic until the 13th century AD at earliest. The Thracians were an Iranic offshoot at the time.
Syria was also the southern Levant, it was essentially all Aramaic-speaking regions and Aramaic speakers were "Syrians". israelites were also a subtype of "Syrians" to Romans early on, hence you see references to slimy Syrian merchants.
It's shivili you dumb nig
Alexander’s mother was 100% Greek and he spoke only Greek and wanted to unifiy Hellas, you don’t get more Greek than that… and the most known Greek is probably Archimedes
His mom was literally Albanian (Macedonian people).
>(Macedonian people).
so bulgarians?
Buttgarians are fake people.
>bulgarians
codeword for turks
>bulgarians
>in the Balkans
>in c. 350 B.C
anon..
Bulgarians are Thracians, and Thracians have been on the Balkans ever since God created the planet in 4004 B.C.
If you have to qualify it with more words in parentheses, then the word "literally" isn't necessary or helpful.
You want to use "literally" in a comeback when the exact, literal argument is being refuted in an ironic or hyperbolic way.
Take for example a response to the statement ""ive never been to america"
>you were literally born there
>you're literally the president
>you literally live and work in washington d.c.
We don't know if they spoke Greek or spoke a related language. It's unclear in the sources, generally when they speak a dialect it's noted which is done with the Epriots in that they spoke with the Epriot dialect or the Boetians with their dialect and so on, this isn't done for Macedonians and it's just stated they spoke in Macedonian at times. Alexander spoke Macedonian to his troops in one speech which isn't helpful as to if it was Greek or not because it is not noted as a dialect.
added some
it was still Roman Judea at the time, they didn't rename it "Palestine" (after the long-extinct biblical Philistines) until Hadrian expelled the israelites in 135.
I mean ancient israelites ressemble palestinian more than mordern israelite
>after the long-extinct biblical Philistines
It should be understood that the region was always named Palaistina in Greek and the Romans simply officially assigned it its already-used Greek name.
Okay but in his time it wasn't called Judea either. rather the specific place where he was from was called the Galilee which was distinct from both Judea and Samaria which lay in between. The Galilee was a different component than Judea within the "Herodian Tetrarchy"
Galilee was separate from Judea but it was in Palaistina, which was a subregion of Syria, in the colloquial understanding
Kant was Russian, he pledged allegiance to Russian Tsaritsa when Russian army captured Königsberg during the Seven Years War.
You're joking but I've legit seen diaspora russkis make this claim.
>notices subtle shifts of opinion within the Immanuel Kant enthusiast sphere
kinda made me laugh
>palistinian
Nice propaganda They're not even a real country.
If caesar is spaniard then alexander is italian
Hannibal too
>being born in France means you're Italian
moron take.
>being born in France means you're French regardless of anything else
moron take.
buddha was nepalese not indian
All 4 of those were albanians
Austrians were no less German than, say, someone from Hanover. Macedonia was Greek, but on the fringes, so not wholly Greek in the same way as Athens or Thebes. For a modern analogy, it's like how the Northern English are still considered English, even if they're similar to Scots.
