Ok, but what about Turkey? What if i choose to stop in the year 1453?
There were never Turkish tribes there until the 11th century. It was Byzantine, the eastern Roman empire. People who lived there were Greeks or some other tribes who were christians after the 4th century. The capital was the great Constantinopole, the second Rome, the new capital of the Roman empire.
Starting from the 11th century the muslims started concuring these lands by force just so in 1453 Constantinopole to fell and the Turks to start rulling completely what is now called Turkey.
They occupied these lands, they concured them, they islamized many of those who already lived there (by force, may i add). Those who lived there for centuries didn't give them their lands. The Turkish tribes won them by force.
Constantinopole is today known as Istanbul. Coincidently that's the place where Turk_Bianconero lives. The old capital of the Christian world, the greatest and biggest city in the middle ages. It was never Turkish until 555 years ago (relatively short time in history). It was taken by force and now it's an islamic land.
What if i choose to stop in 1453? Does Cronios have the right to tell Turk: "Get the fuck out of my land? It's Greek land, it's not Turkish, it was never called Turkey until 1922."
So, why stop in 1948, why not stop in 2005?
