There was one battle where he told his men to gather all the goats and attach a lantern to them. When the ottomans arrived they saw all the lanterns and thought they were soldiers and retreated.

The place called Greece never existed before as we know it today. The people who live in so called Greece today used to be called "Romej" during Byzantine Empire and "Raja" during Ottoman Empire times (except the Arvanitas who used to be called always by their name like "Albani", "Arbanoi", etc.) and the name "Greece" never existed during Byzantine times.

The people who live in the so called Greece today are NOT the descendants of ancient Greece (as the world history knows it). That ancient culture and civilization, went extinct times ago, like many other ancient civilizations (like Latin civilization as well, language of which is spoken only in the certain official religious ceremonies in Vatican today and for international medical terminology).

During Ottoman times in the Balkans, after the big powers pushed for an uprising in the place that today is called "Greece", an independent country was formed in 1821-1832. The majority of the population there was of Arvanitas (and Chameria) stock, they also were the backbone of the uprising for independence from the Ottoman Empire. The rest of the minority population was of Slav, Turks and Aromanian stock.

After the gain of independence the place was so divided, and with a prolonged civil war that a real country could not be formed.

Fearing the disintegration of the place after Ottomans left (and possibility of a return of the Ottomans), Prince Otto of Germany was brought in by European powers to clear the mess and do nation - building there. He was proclaimed King of the place by big powers and given plenipotentiary powers.

The Price Otto royal family in Germany happen to be an admirer of the ancient civilizations, one of them being the extinct ancient Greek civilization, traces and archeological findings of which are also seen in that region called today
"Greece" as well.

Being an ancient history romantic and buff, Otto came up with the idea, that the only way to keep the place together and for a chance to build a country there, was to adopt/impose some kind of neutral/foreign ancient language and culture
for all people living in that place, that will make possible for the people to stick together under one language and culture imposed on them.

So with a special royal decree, he proclaimed a version of the ancient Greek (the easier one to be taught and learned by people there in those times) as an official language of the place, and also came up with the new name for the
place, calling it with a special royal decree "Greece".

Everything else was banned, and the new "country" formed, was ordered to be rebuild anew in resemblance of the old romantic view of the ancient Greek civilization, starting with the buildings, names of people, places, cities and villages, regions, mountains, fields and all were changed to made-up names loaned by the ancient literature of ancient Greek
civilization.

This of course was associated with money brought by European powers to rebuild. The more people in that place agreed with the change of their true national and ethnic identity and declare themselves artificially "Greeks/Helenes" and adopt to the new order, the more money was to be pouring in.

Naturally, the strongest resistance to this artificial and made-up solution, was made by the Arvanitas (and Chameria), but at no avail.

It is legendary, the loss by one vote in the Price Otto's Parliament of that time, of Arvanitas proposal to have the Albanian
(Arvanite) language as an official language of the place called 'Greece" today, and to call the new country "Arvanoi" (instead of "Greece").

There is plenty of scientific and factual evidence, archival and historical documents, as well as studies and publications by major authors and authorities in the field about as above.

One interesting fact here, is that one of the earlier German/Austrian well known historians and scientists of that time, Fallmerayer, alerted Prince Otto and others to this nonsense, of declaring a whole people and place by a
name not belonging to them, and injecting an extinct language, culture and civilization on people who had no idea about it and did not belong to it at all. Well, Fallmerayer may have proven to be right.

By the way, Fallmerayer, is a banned figure and historian in what is called Greece today.

Germany is still paying for the Otto's mistake, even today. It has gotten stuck with the country so called "Greece". It is now forced to pour free money, even today, out of Germany's pocket (through European Union as well) year after year to keep it alive and going, as this "Greece" cannot stand on its own. It is an artificial creation of Prince Otto's fantasy (a "zombie" country so to speak), and the new generations of the Germans and Europeans are continuing to pay the price for it.

Moreover, what Prince Otto did back then, is tantamount to ethnic cleansing. He forced inhabitants of a whole region/place (called "Greece" today) to change by force their culture, language, national and ethnic identity to something
else that those people were not, so they could artificially change in order to look modern and civilized (like ancient Greeks in Otto's personal view) and possibly be united. And of course, Arvanites and Chams (as the majority population in the region) suffered mostly from this ethnic cleansing.

All this revelation, informs another major point: history taught about what today is called Greece, it appears to be taught wrong. People are wrongly taught in schools that today's Greece and its people are the direct descendants of ancient Greeks. Greece and Greeks of today, in some extend, also think they are superior to others just because they are called
"Greeks" and their country "Greece" by decree (not by the virtue of the truth). They also seem to believe for some reason, they are entitled to the German and European money being handed out to them.

The school textbooks and historiography should change, telling people the truth as it is. And with this, will come many other changes, in the way we see relations with the country called "Greece" today

In the battle of Albulena Skanderbeg won the battle with 8 000 soldiers while ottomans have had 80 000. This is just one sequence of his many 🎉

For true, Albanian Scanderbeg (Gjergj Jon Kastrioti ) revered as Prophet of Albania's Prophets .
Long lives his memories and contributions towards saving Christianity in Europe, but unfortunately 😢 he could save Albanian from the betrayal of Vatican.

[damonselimi]

We Albanians really are the greatest people 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

[Greek.history.enthusiast]

George kastriotis (Skanderbeg) was Greek 🇬🇷🇦🇱

[paulkal]

Okay he did not really on Gurilla tactics he fought open pitched battles, that is not Gurulla tactics thanks for the beautiful play. Slightly historically different, since the Ottoman empire was massive and Eurppe could not protect themselves he was forced with the might of his people to show the way. 😢😢😢 lots of words sorry. ❤❤❤😂

[Bogoga]

Jesus athletic he was called by Vatican !

[mannyfresh]

I love all the Serbs here who try to claim him. Where’s the statue of Skanderbeg in Serbia? God man you guys piss me off with your bullshit.

[rightwrong]

So was he actually Christian or did he use religion for his gain?

[LeonardDurrsi]

Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg is the general king of the Albanians, he fought for 25 years against the Ottomans, he fought against the Venetians and he also fought against the Italian principality, Skanderbeg is a descendant of Alexander the Great and Pirro Epirus is 1000% Albanian blood.🇦🇱🙏🇦🇱🙏🇦🇱🙏🇦🇱🙏
