  1. It might be an unpopular opinion in some circles, but Austria did more for Bosnia & Herzegovina in 40 years than Ottomans did in 400 years. It’s a shame subsequent ventures Bosnia got dragged into after WWI would all turn out to be monumental disasters.

    My first thoughts were: Bosnia and Macedonia are still part of the Ottoman Empire?

    year European/Balkan countries gained independence, from the Ottoman Empire.

    1821: Greek War Of independence. (Greece becomes first country to break away from Empire).

    1878: 11th Russia Turkey war. (Serbia, Montenegro, Romania, full independence – Bulgars, autonomy).

    1908: Bulgaria declares, „independence“ (taking advantage of the „Young Turk“ coup, no war).

    1912: Albania is „created“ (mostly by A-H, no war).

    Bosnia/North Macedonia – never.

    Didn’t Serbia gain de facto independence in 1815 and Romania in 1859?

  5. That’s 95 % correct but Ottomans remained in control over some islands to the 1900s

    If anyone is into Balkan/Ottoman history I highly recommend ‚The Siege‘ by Ismail Kadare… awesome book about 15th century Siege of an Albanian fortress.

    Another dumb map. According to this nonsense, Croatia was Ottoman territory and they gained their independence from them.

    If you wanna show such map you gotto show the borders in that time and year. This is plain nonsense in this shape and the worst is these are keeeeep popping up everyday.

    didn’t they even enter Germany at some point, I swear I saw them in Styria

  9. Greece should also be Green, as in „Never Fully Occupied by the Ottomans“.

    The Mani Peninsula, the southernmost in Greece, was never conquered or vassalized, instead it maintained for centuries the only surviving Greek republic, and it was instrumental in the success of the Greek Revolution in 1821 AD, without which it would have been impossible.

    I wouldn’t say 1821 for our independence, more like after 1828 or 1829.
