I was once in a kebab shop with a Greek and Turk running it, normally it’s fine until some drunk guys asks which country invented the kebab

Alexander the Great watching Greece be ruled by other countries for thousands of years: "Look how they massacred my boy."

[vicentefradinho]

Can you talk about the rivalry between Portugal and Spain.

"Have you ever wondered why Greece and Turkey hate each other?"

Me: No good sir, I have not been living under a rock this whole time.

Fun fact: even during the greek war of independence, a lot of greeks identified as romans.

[noonedude]

Strange facts about the Cold War would be great!

The idea of Greece as a country is a pretty modern concept.
Correction -
The idea of country is a pretty modern concept.

The byzantine empire was essentially greek, they weren't ruled by foreign empires until the ottomans arrived.

[gerostoumoria]

It should be noted that the Byzantine Empire was essentially ruled by Greeks and not the Greeks being ruled by Byzantines.

The concept of a Greek nation had been around since the Bronze Age, with pretty much every city state aspiring to unite the Greek peoples under themselves; the concept was realized under the Philipos the 2nd of makedon. Since then, the Greeks were always recognized themselves as a single people with ancient city state rivalries relegated to more of local feuds rather than any serious identity. After the rise of the eastern Roman Empire, many Greeks started identifying as Romans, since the terms were interchangeable after the western Roman Empire fell, leaving the ancient Latin Roman identity to be killed in favor of the newer, more Germanic, Italians. The greeks continued to identify as Romans and Greeks until around the late 1800s when the idea of being both Greek and roman died out in favor of the idea of pan-Hellenism and the uniting of all Greek peoples in Ionia and Cyprus.

The desecration of Hagia Sophia is one of the reasons as well. Besides Jerusalem, it is one of the most holiest places for the Orthodox faith.

This conflict really begins a thousand years ago. With the conflicts between the Byzantine and Seljuk empires.

[Alexandros_Fatsis]

All the Turks I have met are very nice, kind and friendly people. We Greeks do not hate them.

[Abotekap]

The Byzantine empire was technically Roman, but it’s people were Greeks and even the official language was Greek since the 7th century! It was as Greek as the Holy Roman Empire was German!

[stevekafkas]
