Why iran in ussr
The USSR were part of the allies
This was a diplomatic masterpiece that should be studied in international relations courses. Also one of the catalysts of the demographic balance decisively changing in Turkey’s favor in it’s area. For ex: Romania had a bigger population than Turkey before WW2.
Wrong, Turkey did not stay neutral throughout the war. They have also declared war against Germany and Japan in 23rd of February, 1945. It is nearly end of the war and did not have any conflicts, but they did infact join the war.
Wasn’t USSR part of the Allies?
„Neutral“ should be nuanced
Turkey mentioned 🇹🇷
Turkey is and has always been, for Turkey at the expense of everyone else. The phrase „Turkish ally“ is perhaps the biggest oxymoron of all time!
didn’t they declare war on germany right before the end?
USSR was allies
To be fair USSR was also part of the Allies
As of that date, the republic may still be young, but Anatolia’s and Istanbul’s imperial memory exceeds that of all the surrounding WWII parties combined.
One of the reasons turkey stayed neutral is that it lost its empire after joining WWI.
He (Ismet Inonu, PM of Turkey at that time) literally starved Turkish people to death due to his incompetence. Schweiz was also a neutral state and they got ultra super rich since they knew how to capitalize the war by selling arms to everyone. Meanwhile, Turkish people were having bread rationing due to extreme poverty.
I don’t understand why Turkey is always criticized, even when it makes the right decision, like remaining neutral during World War II.
Turkey had no real interest in entering the war. Not because it lacked the capacity to be a meaningful ally, and not because it was only thinking about itself, but because its population had already suffered immensely: World War I followed by the War of Independence. Barely twenty years later, it was being pushed toward yet another major conflict, with the very real risk of losing everything again.
At some point, we have to be honest. Turkey’s neutrality was not the result of clever tricks or political scheming, but simply an instinct for survival. Given its recent history, that decision was both logical and legitimate.
They had the chance
Turkey: If I stay perfectly still then no one will notice me, brilliant!
Weeeeeeeeellllllll technically……
Was the Soviet Union not part of the Allies in WWII?
This is NOT EVEN A MAP! You just took a screenshot-
Always hate when the that USSR is considered separate from the Allies.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post with more USSR-loving bots in the history of history.
