@Bird Wizard true that's where the modern borders are, but trying to make a genuine borders would be nigh impossible.
yep, that's why they need a period of slaughter to properly draw borders
Truth is, besides the original Mesopotamian civilization, Iraq and Syria I've always been owned by either Anatolia, Persia, Arabia, or Egypt
Glass. The. Desert.

or macedonia
thisincludesbosnians
@Bird Wizard I'm counting European powers as Anatolia
we wuz kangz
Since they had to go through Anatolia anyways
balkan power
Oh the Balkans, the Afghanistan of Europe
difference
Albanians=inbred
Well, from a Geographic point of view anyway
balkans actually got conquered on more than 1 occassion
no one except the mongols was able to touch afghanistan
not the british empire, not the soviets, and not america
That's not true. Afghanistan has been conquered plenty of times throughout history, the problem has always been asserting authority over the tribes.
@PunishedMuskovy there is a difference between Total Conquest and simply exerting control over the area, you can conquer the valleys, but the hills are practically unconquerable
@εïз irma εïз omg leave
It's just a meme for pseudointellectual armchair historians to circlejerk over.
afghanistan is a death trap while balkans is furtile land
America didn't do half bad in Afganistan
Miguel did you ever deadlift more than 50 pounds?
yes
I agree with the dumb Cath on the Afghani shit being a circlejerk
I did 300 @εïз irma εïз
i remember seeing something about how Alexander met his end in afghanistan
@Huff we are able to exert control, but the Taliban will never truly be rooted out, by us anyway
or afghanistan was the one thing he couldnt beat
No, he beat Afghanistan.
He moved on to the Punjab.
@Scipio Americanus They could be if we fought properly
did u know while entire balkans fell only montenegro stood because it was such a fucking inpassable hellhole, rocky and barren land
oh
camps, executions, do what the soviets did to break the remaining germans after ww2
@PunishedMuskovy actually they're already Greeks living there, look it up, it's bacteria or something
they'll tire out eventually
