Bicer52, I am Greek ... ( 1 week ago by ITSKonstantinoupolis)

Bicer52, I am Greek, and fiercely anti-Ataturk, and know he was a bad person. I hate him for the burning of, oddly enough........only the Greek and Armenian quarters of Smyrna, or "Izmir", the Turkish slaughter of the name. What did he even do, he just propped up Turkish nationalism, and ethnic cleansing.

You Seljuq, you Turks have made too many people miserable. Arabs, Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, and more people that I don't know hate Türkiye because of what you guys did to them, if you don't know what you guys did then look up World War 1 and Assyrian and Armenian Genocide. Atatürk can go lie in a ditch and I'll bury him!

Even though I am Greek and I see it as, "its fucking Constantinople for the love of god", its a catchy song, and I admit that reluctantly.

personally, isn't that what EVERY SINGLE IMPERIAL POWER IN THE WORLD has done?
British slaughtered Indian sepoys for not using the new Enfield rifles, French massacred the British in the French & Indian War (aka Seven Years' War), the Spanish slaughtered Jews and Moors with the Inquisition...
What Ataturk did is not new, nor unique. It was another example of early-20th Century imperialism.

Not imperialism, ... ( 6 days ago by ITSKonstantinoupolis)

Not imperialism, nationalism. His reforms were discriminating against Greeks, to make then leave, so they could not make the land claim. Thats why today there are more Turks in Greece than Greeks in Turkey, dont believe me, look it up.

It's istanbul. Get over it. -_-
Germany was once called Germania. Why was it changed? because not everyone speaks Latin. Same thing happened with Scotland too.

Wrong. Turkish. Do your homework. -_-

Germania was only a ... ( 5 days ago by stoepselken)

Germania was only a small part of today's Germany, as many different peoples lived there and only formed a union of German peoples way later. Research better next time.

Wrong. Germania was ... ( 5 days ago by kidgoku666)

Wrong. Germania was an empire of sorts divided into many regions. The most well-known names for these regions were given by the roman empire (e.g. (Magna Germania, meaning 'Greater Germania'). As for Germania being only a small part of Germany, do some homework - between 750BC and 1AD Germania ruled a huge chunk of Europe, roughly three times the size of Germany today. Of course, Rome defeated most of Germania, leaving just two regions, which later formed Germany as we know it.
You're welcome.

it's not a remix, it's a cover of the jimmy kennedy/nat simon version from '53. and that was based off a '29 song, so you could have heard either of them.
