If you want to talk about other continents, Argentina x Brazil is the big one in South America. Since colonial times, Portugal and Spain disputed the control of the Plata river basin, leading to Uruguai being annexed to Brazil for a decade. Upon independence, immediate war between Argentina and Brazil began over Uruguai, resulting in its imdependence as a buffer state. When the Rosa dictatorship took over Argentina, Brazil invaded and took him down with the help of the Argentinian opposition. Then relations got somewhat better by having a common enemy in the Paraguay war and there was never another war between them. Both are in the same economic block today, the Mercosul. Being the two biggest and most resourceful states in the continents really fuels the rivalry, although now it’s mostly reserved to Football.
Lapi :15/SLR Except that in Sweden and Denmark its basically just friendly competition nowadays. Scotland still doesn’t like England and it isn’t just a matter of friendly competition.
Germany and France: Enemies for a thousand years until everyone collectively said "This was completely nuts! What the hell are we doing?! Let's becomes the bestest of friends." What really still amazes me is how quickly it happened. When I was born not even 40 years after the last big war, it already was completely ridiculous to think of the French as enemies.
I think it's also because nowaday the power of a nation doesn't rely much on territorial gains (which was the case before because of agriculture and raw material based economies), so there is no real point for the Germans to claim Alsace nor the French to claim the Rhineland. :)
40 years? I think you mean 7 years. The "European Coal and Steel Community", the ancestor of the European Union, was founded 1951 and startet 1952, only 7 years after WWII.
@@tonyhawk94 why should France claim the Rhineland? It is German and always was German. France is already overexpanded with German speaking Alsace-Lorraine.
@@schwarzer0se463 The Rheineland is part of the "natural barriers" of France theorized by some revolutionnaries, and even before, it has long been a geopolitical goal for the French kingdom and later revolutionnary France.

@youtube user Eh not anymore atleast, during history yes we had troubles with all neighbours. Same can be said for Serbia, Bulgaria, Italy and a lot of countries.
@youtube user With Slovenia yes in terms of sea territory and Serbia with the Danube. Bosnia idk im going to have to check, i tought after the war the borders are to stay as is. But all in all trade and diplomacy has goten way better with all countries.
@youtube user Yeah but even the disputes with Bosnia are small with only 2 small islands with no population and the tip of a peninsula being debated. But that does not matter almost all countries have border disputes so they are not as inportant. Its not like these are huge disputes like Russia and Ukraine or Pakistan, India and China. But yes the only defined border is with Hungary. Point being Croatia does not have major tensions with anyone.
I would say that the rivalry between Hungary and Romania, Hungary and Slovakia, Serbia and Kosovo, Ukraine and Russia, Poland and Russia, Austria and Italy or Serbia and Croatia are pretty significant in modern times, they are the cause of many ethnic conflict and sometimes even require intervention to be solved.
Requirement for intervention, interesting, Serbia has lasted centuries before and will last long after America and in its Western aliies end if werent for them we in the Balkans could manage our self justi fine you are the only cause for this mandess and you are the reason for blood you are not the saviors as you present yourself so i suggest you to shut the fuck up

Greece 'ruling' over parts of Anatolia is not a valid point, as when Greeks inhabited those lands, Turks or Turkic peoples had not even migrated to the area. Turkic people came around 1000 years after the ancient Greeks to the region as Ottoman conquerers from Asia. Greeks are technically indigenous to the land. Turks are were conquerers and settlers from Asia who built the Ottoman Empire, hence that battle in the 1000's
The Anatolian peoples are indigenous, but yes, the Greeks have been there much longer than the Turks and the Ottoman empire eliminated their presence in the region, along with the population exchange.
@@forgetful9845 Ancient Greeks where related to the Anatolians Why do you think they adopted Greek so easlly. It's because the language was really similar.

@@ThrE3-GeS Well, it's Catalonia (Cataluña), _and something that everyone has end up believing was that Catalonia was a country,_ *something that never happened.* *Summary:* _At first it was the county of Barcelona, which annexed to the crown of Aragon, finishing the fifteenth century, the crown of Aragon allied with the kingdom of Castile which formed Spain, in the mid-seventeenth century Catalonia, under French protection, he managed to become independent from Spain, and that he was also recognized as such, however the French began to abuse Catalonia as a simple bridge in which the armies of both countries passed. In 1659, the Catalans, because of the French abuses, accepted a pact with Spain, in the that some territories would be transferred to them in exchange for leaving Catalonia in Spain protection, since then there have not been many differences, only now it is the second most productive region in Spain thanks to industrialization._ *So instead of an independence, it could be considered that they became a French region for a decade.*

@Zeynep Ezgi Su Simsar Huns yes, Sumerians it's a stretch. They lived way back in time and since your people were mostly nomadic, we can't explain for sure their ancient origins
@Zeynep Ezgi Su Simsar Trojans is a huge stretch... can be true, but huge stretch.. i wouldn't take a turk saying trojans are his ancestors seriously. At least not yet. Turks came into the region later.
@Zeynep Ezgi Su Simsar Both using Agglutination is not really a strong claim for genetic relation (if at all), as literally half of the world uses Agglutination and Agglutination is a typological feature, that does not even imply a linguistic relation, because it can arise and be lost in languages relativly spontaneous.
@Zeynep Ezgi Su Simsar Sorry for you, but no. Ther are Niger-Congo languages using it, the Berbers did, the Basques do, as did a number of American Natives (e.g. Cree, Eskimos, Nahuatl). In Asia it is used by Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Tibetan and Turkish languages and to claim all of those are interconnected is kinda ludicrous. Especially considering that most Chinese languages are not included in the list.
Correction about the Normans : - They were not badly viewed AT ALL by the French kingdom, the vikings were defeated, but the French king saw them as a good way to stop the other viking raids by installing them in the actual region of Normandy were the adopted the French culture and mixed with the local population (because it's in Normandy that the Seine river begins and thus, the pathway to Paris).
Exactly, you're right.Rollo and his men, were actually recruited to defend the Frankish against Viking attacks, because many of the Frankish areas(Effectively a new culture was developing), were threatened to be overrun and supplanted.Rollo was effectively a hero, because he prevented the Vikings from Entirely changing the culture, if the Vikings had settled. The Vikings battle tactics and techhnology was superior after all
Hadrian's wall was built when there were no Scots in what became Scotland,and no English in what would become England. It was a partition between the Romanised Britons and the unconquered Britons to the north. The people the Romans called Britons are the people the incoming English would call WELSH.
Scotland and France have the oldest alliance called the Auld alliance. For instance the Scotish song "the march of Robert Bruce's soldiers" was played when Joan of Arc liberated Orléan and still today is a huge symbolic song for the French army. :)
04:58. Troy has nothing to do with the turks, the first turkic tribes arrive to anatolia between the 6th and 11th century AD. The story of Troy is around 1260 BC - 1180 BC...How can u make such a claim???!!!
i think this is about someting Fatih Sultan Mehmet saying he took revenge for troyens when he took constantinople and wrote a letter to the pope on the matter.(something along those lines) he red İlyada and Homer's works and believed troyans were turks ( or something like that)
Ok so here’s a compiled list of the rivalries in the comments: Serbia-Albania Russia-Poland Romania-Hungary Sweden-Denmark literally all of the balkans and Croatia-Serbia Turkey-all the Slavs+Armenia Russia-all their European neighbors except Norway
In Malta, we have some City/Town Rivalries, mainly in Sport (Football/Soccer). Some of them being: -Valletta (Capital) vs Floriana (A Village which initially started out in the 1700s as a Suburb of Valletta) > This rivalry started from ages ago but started heating up as a Neighbourhood Rivalry due to Football (Soccer). > To this day we still fight against each other even if we're not speaking about football. > We fight for the Triton Fountain (which TRULY! belongs to us, Valletta), and the VALLETTA Waterfront. -Valletta (Capital) vs Birkirkara (2nd biggest Town in Malta ~22,000) > This rivalry also started due to football mainly since 1997, when we (Valletta) won 3 Leagues in a Row (1997-1999), and Birkirkara (still with a total of 0 Leagues) finishing as a Runner-Up (1997- 1999). Birkirkara then won the next League, when we (Valletta) finished in 2nd place. -Valletta (Capital) vs Hamrun (Town of ~9,000 inhabitants) > This rivalry (again) also started due to football in the late 1970s, when (till 1990) both teams were the best in Malta. > However in Malta, we have some Catholic Feast Traditions which we invented years ago. > Valletta celebrates the Feasts of; St. Dominic of Guzman, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Paul the Apostle. > Hamrun celebrates the Feasts of; St. Cajetan (and a small feast of; St. Joseph) > Hamrun says that the feast of St. Cajetan is the nicest/best due to having a big buzz and a beautiful Festa Band. > We (Valletta) say that ours are better because unlike them we don't fight with other Festa Bands of our own, we're united. .... There are more rivalries such as the Cottonera rivalries (Cottonera in English: The Three Cities). If you wish to know more about Malta, in general, please do tell and ask me.
Historically, "Asia" (Ἀσία) began as a name for Anatolia, so even if it was considered part of the Mediterranean world, calling it "European" might be a bit much. As a comparison, Late Antique Carthage and Hippo Regius were also considered Roman cities, but not European in the strict sense. Even today, Ceuta and Melilla aren't European.
@@lan6139 be happy that Romania an Bulgaria resolved the Dobrogea/Dobrujea dispute(one keeps the nord and the pther one the south) and for you it was bloodless.
The Greeks did not hate the Ottomans at that period. The Ottomans were surprisingly one of the most liberal country's of the period and allowed self governing of all its ethnic minoritys. The Greeks even formed the backbone of the Merchants in the Ottoman economy along with other European ethnic minoritys. It's due to the wave of nationalism, and Russian expansionism in the area, that Greece declared independence. That's when their rivalry started coming around, due to a very messy divorce. Though the young Ottoman ethnic cleansing probably played a part.
To be fair to the Greeks, the Turks didn't come from Anatolia. It was just part of Greece, Rome and then the Byzantine empire until it got taken by the Turks
I know this Video is oversimplified but Just some corrections. Turks have nothing to do with the ancient Trojans because they came to Anatolia first in 1071,also yes Greece controlled Anatolia in ancient times but never controlled turks.
Rocky Carlton Yeah thats just what i had sayed, and they never displayed greeks (armenians are an another story) but so or so my point is, Greeks Never controlled Turks. Turks on the other hand controlled Greeks for More than 500Years.
Nice vid, but when you were describing the Greco -Turkish rivalry you kinda made it sound like the Turkish tribes have been in Anatolia since Troy, which simply isn't remotely the truth. You also said "Greeks ruled over parts of Anatolia, and later in history Turks ruled over parts of Greece" in a tone that implied that Anatolia was Turkish, eventhough those parts were traditionaly Greek for millenia before the Seljuks and later on the Ottomans diversified them. Basically in trying to be objective you've kinda misrepresented an already very complicated relationship between us and the Turks.
i don't understand why Greece vs Bulgaria,literaly the only time these two countries fought each ather where in the second balcan war (in the first one they where allies agains the ottomans) Even back to Byzantine periode when arabs besieged constantinople bulgarias came to assist the defenders and they eventually won.
The Trojan War has absolutely nothing to do with the modern rivalry between Turkey and Greece. The Turks arrived in Anatolia more than 2,200 years later and the war between the Acheans and the Trojans was another example of rivalries among Greeks. The Trojans worshiped the same Gods as the Acheans and spoke different dialects of the same language, Greece. It was more a struggle for supremacy between the Greeks of Anatolia (Asia) and the Greeks of Europe. At that time power was slowly moving from Asia (Assyria, Egypt etc) to Europe, then Greece to be followed by Rome and today Western Europe.
When you pronounced "Aljubarrota" I was Sooo surprised, I'm Portuguese and you pronounced that exactly the way it is. Normally foreigners pronounce Portuguese with a Spanish accent.
@@yuzan3607 In my searchs the name come from arabian/arabic(idk what is the right) "Al humma"(source of warm water) + rota(sufix) that evolved to "Aliuma Rupta" and later to "Aljubarrota". The battle have it's name because it ocurried next to the village of Aljubarrota, like the battle of Azincourt/Agincourt that ocurried next to the city/village with the same name.
you both literally have the same accent LOOOL, you are right next to each other and may as well be the same country. everyone knows Spain but no one knows Portugal and if they do its known for letting a pedophile kill a young girl
Spain and Portugal might have been in wars but they’ve been allies for a long time and nowadays there’s a political party in Portugal to unify Spain and Portugal I’m only one country
France has been at war: - 35 times against Germany/HRE/Germanic Principalities - 30 times against Spain/Spanish Principalities - 25 times against Italy/Italian Principalities - 23 times against England/UK So, I think the France is mainly hyped by English-speaking media as France is the country against which England/UK was mostly at war.
I don't think you realise, or appreciate how important national identity is in this.The English and French have eachahad a unified national identity, for a 1100 years, the Germans, Italians, Spanish and other European countries do not have even "half" of that (E.g.: Germany didn't exist until 1871, and the German states considered themselves separate identities, entirely), with the exception of the Scandinavian countries, who were not in dirrect conflict with these other 2 Behemoth's, after the initial Viking age. This is why Britain versus France, is "by far" the greatest rivalry or you might say "relationship", in human histtory. Just look around the world and you can see how dramatic the impact of this has been, not just positively, in terms of national internal structural influence, technological and scientific innovations and infrastructure legacy, but also Negatively, in virtually every conflict zone, Globally
@@camm8642 It depends on what you consider rivalry I guess.I was thinking of what the people in the regions we refer to as these countries now, would feel "collectively" as a group, towards those in those other landmasses over the course of time,as that is how we identify now. We're not talking about polarised emotional feelings in this and the last couple of generations.The Brits and the French have been allies since the Napoleonic wars, in 1815, so if you asked a random Brit or frog, neither would recognise a rivalry", In fact, neither would think about each other at all, due to nothing happening, even requiring being allies for nearly 4 generations.For that matter, neither would any person from a nationstate in Europe,because we don't any more anxiety towards each other like Pakistan and India, or S and N Korea do now But from the end of the Second World War, right back to "at least" the 12th century, and maybe even further back (the English began to get national identity in the mid-800s, after Alfred the great got consistent victories against the Vikings, the Frankish kings were not so successful against them so that national identity probably began 100/200 years later, drawing the population groups together and officially all people identifying and feeling French rather than e.g.a citizen of Aquitaine) Throughout this incredibly long period I mentioned the people within England and the people within France, both would have had a kind of xenophobia rivalry towards each other. France' citizens feelings towards those on the continent, would have been completely different to what they are now as the nation states, delineation and different identities were entirely different. The French people would have had a completely different set of feelings towards Prussia, than they did towards Bavaria, Saxony, Castile, Lombardy, Tuscany, Naples, et cetera Before "official" national unifications, local histories were taught and customs delivered by word-of-mouth at such a early rudimentary time.identity was felt in line with your state, if your country had not been officially ratified and significant time had taken place since that date for the new identity to begin to embed amongst the population groups
@@camm8642 It's important to immerse yourself in context to really understand as well, for example, Henry V, wrecked through France, winning virtually every battle and occupied all the important regions of France for several decades as early as the 15th century, the French only turning the tide with Henry dying of dysentery whilst occupying and his son being a child led to infighting between barons, for power within England. He brought a predominantly Anglo-Saxon army, who would have been resented for decades.From this point forwards, it's absolutely certain that the people within those French regions would have fostered some resentment and rivalry towards the English, even more so than it would have been felt the other way around
Why didn’t mention ethnicity? That was probably the most important reason for rivalries like Germans in Alsace Lorraine and Greeks in the Istanbul area
Sergeant Argubright germans is not an ethny , Germanic maybe is ... But history and culture prevail , they feel French ! No nation is based on ethnicity !
Thats not the case for germany, most people in northern france are of germanic descent but are catholics while german states were ruled by protestant rulers. Alsatians hated protestants and prefered to be french while being of german ancestry thats all

How may the Turks be related to the Trojans when Troy was established around 3000 BC and abandoned around 500AD(if we include the reoccupied Ilion), where there were no sign of Turkic kingdoms during that time. Especially around 2000 and 1000 BC.

I want to explain that: 1. Bulgaria vs. Romania We didn’t hate that much. Only we had “discussions” about Dobruja but now everything is great 2. Bulgaria vs. Serbia Bulgaro-Serb war in 1885/86 was to make unification between Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia. But in Balkan Wars Bulgaria had agreement about Macedonia. They promises Bulgaria Part of Macedonia but Serbs thought that is good to split it with Greece and that was the reason for some hate. We had wars earlier in history and Bulgaria were on opposite sides in the world wars but now I don’t we hate each other. 3. Greece vs. Bulgaria (also Byzantine Empire vs. Bulgaria) We had bad blood between us and Byzantines early. Even first war with Byzantines was about Bulgaria to have a country. And several wars after, one century and a half later we were on the map then the ottomans said that balkans are theirs and conquered first us. Then Greece and Serb agreement. Then 1926 raid in Petrich. And we were on opposite sides in World Wars and even the Cold War. But now we are both in EU and NATO and I think that our relations are getting better. 4. Bulgaria vs. Turkey One word - ottomans. They weren’t great. But now we don’t hate each other. We hated each other in Balkan wars and when they said that we are crap and controlled our lands for 5 centuries. 5. Yugoslavia vs. Yugoslavia No comment 6. Balkans vs. Balkans Almost every Balkan state was in war with the others Bulgaria with everyone ( Greece, Romania, Turkey and Former Yugoslavia while they were still Yugoslavia, Byzantines ) Romania with Bulgaria, Turkey (Balkan war II, WWI) , Greece, Yugoslavia ( WWII ) Greece with Bulgaria, Romania( mostly passive ), “ relations with North Macedonia”, Turkey Serbia with Every former Yugoslav state (except North Macedonia and Montenegro), Bulgaria, Turkey Balkans were unstable region for 1200 years and now it is better.
in England Manchester & Liverpool hate each over over the docks the boats use to go Liverpool then overland but they built the Manchester ship canal then the boats when straigh to Manchester
Your videos are really interesting and well animated. Easy to understand. Check only your historical reference accuracy. There is no relation between ancient Troyans and Turks. There is thousands of years chronical difference between ancient Troy and the appearance of Turks in Asia Minor
Anatolia has historically been greek. The seljuk turks came from the turkic steppe (modern day kazakhstan) but settled in the area at about 1200. However up until the early 1900 the coastline of anatolia was mainly of greek culture

@@ThrE3-GeS Well, it's Catalonia (Cataluña), _and something that everyone has end up believing was that Catalonia was a country,_ *something that never happened.*
*Summary:* _At first it was the county of Barcelona, which annexed to the crown of Aragon, finishing the fifteenth century, the crown of Aragon allied with the kingdom of Castile which formed Spain, in the mid-seventeenth century Catalonia, under French protection, he managed to become independent from Spain, and that he was also recognized as such, however the French began to abuse Catalonia as a simple bridge in which the armies of both countries passed. In 1659, the Catalans, because of the French abuses, accepted a pact with Spain, in the that some territories would be transferred to them in exchange for leaving Catalonia in Spain protection, since then there have not been many differences, only now it is the second most productive region in Spain thanks to industrialization._

- They were not badly viewed AT ALL by the French kingdom, the vikings were defeated, but the French king saw them as a good way to stop the other viking raids by installing them in the actual region of Normandy were the adopted the French culture and mixed with the local population (because it's in Normandy that the Seine river begins and thus, the pathway to Paris).
Exactly, you're right.Rollo and his men, were actually recruited to defend the Frankish against Viking attacks, because many of the Frankish areas(Effectively a new culture was developing), were threatened to be overrun and supplanted.Rollo was effectively a hero, because he prevented the Vikings from Entirely changing the culture, if the Vikings had settled.

In Malta, we have some City/Town Rivalries, mainly in Sport (Football/Soccer).
Some of them being:
-Valletta (Capital) vs Floriana (A Village which initially started out in the 1700s as a Suburb of Valletta)
> This rivalry started from ages ago but started heating up as a Neighbourhood Rivalry due to Football (Soccer).
> To this day we still fight against each other even if we're not speaking about football.
> We fight for the Triton Fountain (which TRULY! belongs to us, Valletta), and the VALLETTA Waterfront.
-Valletta (Capital) vs Birkirkara (2nd biggest Town in Malta ~22,000)
> This rivalry also started due to football mainly since 1997, when we (Valletta) won 3 Leagues in a Row (1997-1999), and Birkirkara (still with a total of 0 Leagues) finishing as a Runner-Up (1997- 1999). Birkirkara then won the next League, when we (Valletta) finished in 2nd place.
-Valletta (Capital) vs Hamrun (Town of ~9,000 inhabitants)
> This rivalry (again) also started due to football in the late 1970s, when (till 1990) both teams were the best in Malta.
> However in Malta, we have some Catholic Feast Traditions which we invented years ago.
> Valletta celebrates the Feasts of; St. Dominic of Guzman, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Paul the Apostle.
> Hamrun celebrates the Feasts of; St. Cajetan (and a small feast of; St. Joseph)
> Hamrun says that the feast of St. Cajetan is the nicest/best due to having a big buzz and a beautiful Festa Band.
> We (Valletta) say that ours are better because unlike them we don't fight with other Festa Bands of our own, we're united.
....

I mean historically Anatolia has been considered European. And the Ottoman Empire of the 1800s and up till WWI was called the Sick Old Man of Europe
Historically, "Asia" (Ἀσία) began as a name for Anatolia, so even if it was considered part of the Mediterranean world, calling it "European" might be a bit much. As a comparison, Late Antique Carthage and Hippo Regius were also considered Roman cities, but not European in the strict sense. Even today, Ceuta and Melilla aren't European.

The Greeks did not hate the Ottomans at that period. The Ottomans were surprisingly one of the most liberal country's of the period and allowed self governing of all its ethnic minoritys. The Greeks even formed the backbone of the Merchants in the Ottoman economy along with other European ethnic minoritys. It's due to the wave of nationalism, and Russian expansionism in the area, that Greece declared independence. That's when their rivalry started coming around, due to a very messy divorce. Though the young Ottoman ethnic cleansing probably played a part.
To be fair to the Greeks, the Turks didn't come from Anatolia. It was just part of Greece, Rome and then the Byzantine empire until it got taken by the Turks

Nice vid, but when you were describing the Greco -Turkish rivalry you kinda made it sound like the Turkish tribes have been in Anatolia since Troy, which simply isn't remotely the truth. You also said "Greeks ruled over parts of Anatolia, and later in history Turks ruled over parts of Greece" in a tone that implied that Anatolia was Turkish, eventhough those parts were traditionaly Greek for millenia before the Seljuks and later on the Ottomans diversified them. Basically in trying to be objective you've kinda misrepresented an already very complicated relationship between us and the Turks.

The Trojan War has absolutely nothing to do with the modern rivalry between Turkey and Greece. The Turks arrived in Anatolia more than 2,200 years later and the war between the Acheans and the Trojans was another example of rivalries among Greeks. The Trojans worshiped the same Gods as the Acheans and spoke different dialects of the same language, Greece. It was more a struggle for supremacy between the Greeks of Anatolia (Asia) and the Greeks of Europe. At that time power was slowly moving from Asia (Assyria, Egypt etc) to Europe, then Greece to be followed by Rome and today Western Europe.

Particulier VDM exact !
I don't think you realise, or appreciate how important national identity is in this.The English and French have eachahad a unified national identity, for a 1100 years, the Germans, Italians, Spanish and other European countries do not have even "half" of that (E.g.: Germany didn't exist until 1871, and the German states considered themselves separate identities, entirely), with the exception of the Scandinavian countries, who were not in dirrect conflict with these other 2 Behemoth's, after the initial Viking age.
This is why Britain versus France, is "by far" the greatest rivalry or you might say "relationship", in human histtory. Just look around the world and you can see how dramatic the impact of this has been, not just positively, in terms of national internal structural influence, technological and scientific innovations and infrastructure legacy, but also Negatively, in virtually every conflict zone, Globally
@@Rowlph8888 Maybe for Britain but necessarily for France.......the Brits are a major one though
@@camm8642 It depends on what you consider rivalry I guess.I was thinking of what the people in the regions we refer to as these countries now, would feel "collectively" as a group, towards those in those other landmasses over the course of time,as that is how we identify now. We're not talking about polarised emotional feelings in this and the last couple of generations.The Brits and the French have been allies since the Napoleonic wars, in 1815, so if you asked a random Brit or frog, neither would recognise a rivalry", In fact, neither would think about each other at all, due to nothing happening, even requiring being allies for nearly 4 generations.For that matter, neither would any person from a nationstate in Europe,because we don't any more anxiety towards each other like Pakistan and India, or S and N Korea do now
But from the end of the Second World War, right back to "at least" the 12th century, and maybe even further back (the English began to get national identity in the mid-800s, after Alfred the great got consistent victories against the Vikings, the Frankish kings were not so successful against them so that national identity probably began 100/200 years later, drawing the population groups together and officially all people identifying and feeling French rather than e.g.a citizen of Aquitaine)
Throughout this incredibly long period I mentioned the people within England and the people within France, both would have had a kind of xenophobia rivalry towards each other. France' citizens feelings towards those on the continent, would have been completely different to what they are now as the nation states, delineation and different identities were entirely different. The French people would have had a completely different set of feelings towards Prussia, than they did towards Bavaria, Saxony, Castile, Lombardy, Tuscany, Naples, et cetera
Before "official" national unifications, local histories were taught and customs delivered by word-of-mouth at such a early rudimentary time.identity was felt in line with your state, if your country had not been officially ratified and significant time had taken place since that date for the new identity to begin to embed amongst the population groups
@@camm8642 It's important to immerse yourself in context to really understand as well, for example, Henry V, wrecked through France, winning virtually every battle and occupied all the important regions of France for several decades as early as the 15th century, the French only turning the tide with Henry dying of dysentery whilst occupying and his son being a child led to infighting between barons, for power within England. He brought a predominantly Anglo-Saxon army, who would have been resented for decades.From this point forwards, it's absolutely certain that the people within those French regions would have fostered some resentment and rivalry towards the English, even more so than it would have been felt the other way around

How may the Turks be related to the Trojans when Troy was established around 3000 BC and abandoned around 500AD(if we include the reoccupied Ilion), where there were no sign of Turkic kingdoms during that time. Especially around 2000 and 1000 BC.

1. Bulgaria vs. Romania
We didn’t hate that much. Only we had “discussions” about Dobruja but now everything is great
2. Bulgaria vs. Serbia
Bulgaro-Serb war in 1885/86 was to make unification between Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia. But in Balkan Wars Bulgaria had agreement about Macedonia. They promises Bulgaria Part of Macedonia but Serbs thought that is good to split it with Greece and that was the reason for some hate. We had wars earlier in history and Bulgaria were on opposite sides in the world wars but now I don’t we hate each other.
3. Greece vs. Bulgaria (also Byzantine Empire vs. Bulgaria)
We had bad blood between us and Byzantines early. Even first war with Byzantines was about Bulgaria to have a country. And several wars after, one century and a half later we were on the map then the ottomans said that balkans are theirs and conquered first us. Then Greece and Serb agreement. Then 1926 raid in Petrich. And we were on opposite sides in World Wars and even the Cold War. But now we are both in EU and NATO and I think that our relations are getting better.
4. Bulgaria vs. Turkey
One word - ottomans. They weren’t great. But now we don’t hate each other. We hated each other in Balkan wars and when they said that we are crap and controlled our lands for 5 centuries.
5. Yugoslavia vs. Yugoslavia
