Chapter 312 Just because you are too naughty

When people in later generations talk about the Balkans, they will think of the endless ethnic conflicts and conflicts there. Guo Kang once felt that the special issues here need to be carefully considered.

However, as many Greeks came into contact with, he doubted how the founder of Balkan nationalism defined such things. Are they really so powerful in boasting?

The Greeks are now a mess. A few hundred years later, they are probably a mess. In his world, Greek nationalists have long been unable to figure out "who is the Greek."

According to Paparigopoulos' theory, the foundation of Greece's continuous history is the Greek language of continuous development. Therefore, the Greeks should distinguish them in Greek.

However, on the other hand, religion is equally important. The earliest idea of ​​the Greeks when they restored their country was to establish a country similar to the Orthodox Federation. Therefore, religion seems to be an element of distinction.

The combination of the two factors has produced many arrangements and combinations: there are the Greek-speaking Tianfangists, the Turkic-speaking Orthodoxists; there are tribes that use Greek letters but speak Turkic, and there are tribes that use Turkic letters but speak Greek...

In Crete and Xiaoya, this kind of mixed phenomenon is very common, and it is impossible to tell whether they were Hellenized Turks or Turkic Greeks. From the perspective of later generations, these two types of people are the same in bloodline.

What's going on, the Greeks at that time were even more difficult to verify what they were.

This complicated situation finally made the Greeks stupid.

In 1844, the independent and successful Greeks finally began to formulate a constitution - this time it was not a fraud, but a new country did have this need. And at this time, the Greeks proposed a strategy called "great ideal".

The goal is roughly to build a country that includes all Greeks.

In fact, this is an Eastern Rome that has changed its skin. Maybe he dare not call it Rome directly, so he used this nationalist narrative technique to promote it.

However, the most important thing about Rome was the skin of the universal empire. Without skin, no matter how much you imitate it, it would be impossible to achieve it. The Greeks really soon encountered problems: for those "arrangements and combinations" of unclear identities, Greece

People, should they give them citizenship?

In the Roman era, this was not a matter. But for Greece, it was a very troublesome issue related to the nature of the state. In the end, the Constitutional Assembly refused to grant them complete political power. The "great ideal" had not yet begun.

And, I'm firing someone...

Religion is just as bad. According to the requirements of national independence, the Greeks built their own Greek church. But what you do, others can do it too. The Bulgarians quickly learned and established Bulgarian independence.

The parish came out and even forced the universal pastors under the control of the Ottomans to approve it. Then, they began to have traditional skills: Who is the Greeks and who is the Bulgarians?

At the junction of the two regions, these two groups of people have no clear boundaries. If you want to distinguish, you have to look at the details of the ceremony. Both sides quickly realized that many armed personnel arrived here and forced the locals to adopt themselves.

The ceremony on this side felt that this would be considered to be an expansion of the sphere of influence.

Under the pressure of the thugs on both sides, local priests and residents became experts in teachings: when the Greek thugs arrived, they held ceremonies with Greek etiquette and performed them. When the Greeks left and the Bulgarian thugs came again, they quickly changed the situation.

The Bulgarian ceremony was completed. In the end, I didn’t know how to divide this thing, so I could only use violent means to fight directly.

Therefore, the Greeks wanted their nationalism to take into account both language and religion, but they did not have much influence on the outside world in terms of language and religion, and fell into an embarrassing situation.

So, is this theory valid for internal purposes?

Of course it is even more useless.

The Greeks' internal strife never stopped, and even affected their own people. When the War of Independence broke out, there were too many European volunteers to organize a separate force, but these people were sent to the end: on the first time with Ottoman

During the frontal battle, European volunteers lined up in line according to the military rules at that time. However, at the beginning of the battle, the Greek soldiers responsible for both wings fired two shots and ran away. The Greek nobles who led the entire army did not

If you give any order, you will not know where to go.

The European volunteers who were left in place were too formal. Even before receiving the commander's order, they insisted on firing even if they were hit, which made it too late to react. In the end, they failed to retreat in time and were almost wiped out by the Ottoman army.

After that, European "Jingxi" did not dare to come. In the end, the great powers stopped acting and went directly. Russia sent troops to attack the Balkans, France sent troops to land on the Peloponnese, which forced the Ottomans to surrender.

The old nobles were unreliable, and foreign volunteers were scared away. The Greeks' own army could only rely on bandits. However, these people were as cruel to outsiders as their own people. Even after the founding of the country, they were still unruly. By 1870, there was still

The bandits robbed a tour group of British nobles just a few miles outside Athens and killed several nobles, causing serious diplomatic problems.

But the bandits did play an important role in the founding of Greece. They were "national heroes" and they were too late to praise them and could not be cared about. This bandit atmosphere has also spread in the Greek army for a long time, leading to their performance and always

The brutal Ottomans are all ok.

Whether in our country or abroad, there are people who question this trend, believing that binding Greek nationalism with cruelty to others is obviously harmful and will only undermine the realization of the "great ideal". Unfortunately, this problem has become difficult to recover.

Judging from the results, the Greeks were not used to build an ideal single nation-state in the end - the Turks who were exiled to the Balkans by the Ottomans and had blood feuds with the Ottoman regime. They fought the Ottoman army, which was more powerful than the Greeks, so the Greeks were therefore more powerful.

I have to accept them, too.

Logically speaking, there are more than one such person. In the Turks and Armenian tribes in Little Asia, they also suffered hundreds of years of massacre and persecution by the Ottoman regime, and were the brothers of the Greeks. Many people were willing to resist the Ottomans and were also optimistic about Greece's counterattack.

manner.

However, the Greek army used the tradition of revenge that it was impossible to find the right people, and did not distinguish them at all. Regardless of the position of these "outsiders", they all treated them with indiscriminate violence and killing. As a result, their own strength continued to weaken, but they turned them into a state of decline.

The locals forced themselves to the opposite side.

Finally, once the support of the great powers was cut off, the Greek army, which lacked foundation, had no fault tolerance at all. On the contrary, the new Turkish country gained a foothold under the command of Kemal and received support from the Soviet Union. The Greek army was soon

It collapsed.

So Guo Kang felt that there was nothing worth advocating in the Balkans. Their nationalist theory was somewhat advanced than the previous slogans, but in the end it was just that, and did not meet what people expected and achieved qualitative change.

degree.

The local situation where various ethnic groups are constantly splitting and fighting each other is not so powerful as a group of Jie and Zhou who are not perishing each other. Anyone who is a little bit more afflicted will not be like this.

The Greeks had been having trouble for two hundred years, but in the end they had to "return to Rome" secretly. They accepted the Turks in China, accepted the Greek language in vernacular, and began to beat the Eastern Roman flags everywhere. This was also what Guo Kang made the judgment.

Where is faith - the Greeks really couldn't do anything.
