History / World War II - a tragic story for Poland and the World [489]

German army escaped from Turkish army. Maybe because you don't like to wear Turkish clothes :)

Meanwhile, in 1683, as usual, Europeans gathered in order to beat Turks as they can not make war one-to-one with us. But, I have to say that we lost mainly because of Poles.

History / World War II - a tragic story for Poland and the World [489]

BB, don't miss the main point.

Austria lost power because of Sultan Suleyman the Lawgiver’s Vienna Siege, in 1529. Sharlken’s brother Ferdinand was struggling with the Ottoman forces and he lost his authority on the German Princes. Sultan Suleyman forced Sharlken for a war in front of Vienna, in 1532. Sarlken refused it

One example for poor Germans.

SHARLKEN (CHARLES QUINT V)
.
He was born in Gand, on 24th February 1500. When his father died in 1506, his aunt made him Holland King’s regent. After Ferdinand II’s death, he took the administration of Aragon and Kastilya because of his mother’s mental disease. After Sultan Suleyman the Lawgiver ascended the throne in 1520, the Ottoman campaigns in Europe gained speed. King of Hungary and Bohemia lost the Mohac War, in 1526 and Sharlken’s brother Ferdinand became the ruler of the remaining land. In 1527, Sharlken plundered Rome with the German soldiers. He signed an agreement with the Pope and went to Bologna. Pope gave him “Holy Rome-German Emperor” title, in February 1530. Austria lost power because of Sultan Suleyman the Lawgiver’s Vienna Siege, in 1529. Sharlken’s brother Ferdinand was struggling with the Ottoman forces and he lost his authority on the German Princes. Sultan Suleyman forced Sharlken for a war in front of Vienna, in 1532. Sarlken refused it. He campaigned to France. But, he failed. Hence, he gave Spain and Holland to his son Philip. He left Austria to his brother Ferdinand. He went to Spain, in September 1556. Then he isolated himself in Yuste Monastery and died there.

Sarlken wanted to establish a Catholic Empire united under his sovereignty. He fought with the Ottomans and the Protestants on this target. But he failed to unite the kingdoms with different economical, religious and cultural structures.

History / Territories of eastern Germany should rightfully belong to Poland? [161]

ShelleyS,

As far as I remember from your previous posts you have prejudices about Turks. I believe most of the Europeans have similar thoughts.

According to me main reasons are ;

1- Turkish people are muslim. Europeans think that Europe is christain.
2- History : In Ottoman times we were a super power in Europe and was a threat for Europe. We invaded all the Balkans, Hungary, some parts of Slovakia and Ukraine and sieged Vienna two times. Turks ruled Balkans for 500 years. Balkans become main land for Turks like Anatolia. All the christain countires allied lots of times in order to remove Turks from Europe. Millions of people from both sides killed.

Europe and Turkey is like thesis anti-thesis.
3- There are 3.000.000 Turks living in Europe. 2.000.000 of them are living in Germany ( 500.000 of them are Kurds). Most of them came to Europe 40 years ago as workers. They were all uneducated villagers and never left their village before. It was even diffucult for them to adopt if they move to a city in Turkey.

They were not accepted good in Europe and as a reaction they try to protect their rural culture. Hatred in Germans brought hatred in Turks.

Europeans think all the Turks are like the ones living in Europe now. I think most of them are not ahead of Turks living in the villages of Turkey. This means this is not their fault.

Personelly, I don't want Turkey enter EU. Because I believe we don't need this EU.

News / Poland-Turkey Relations, a youtube comment [84]

Oh they will!

Their immigrants at least...not Turkey as as member!

No, Turks will not rush into Europe.
Turkey has 10.000 USD GDP per capita. Turkey is not a poor country as 40 years ago.
We have to solve income distribution injustice. That's all.
But, I am happy, as a German you underestimate Turkey and Turks.
I wish your government think so. But, they don't. They are very concerned to see a fast developing strong Turkey.
