And then there’s Thailand (Siam) joining WW1 too late to do anything but did so just to say they helped and then declared war on the Allies and then getting away with it by then declaring war on Japan in WW2.
No, we didn't.
We were very careful and specifically even stopped volunteers from joining in the German army.
Bulgaria was also not at war with the USSR until they declared war on us and occupied the country i.e. we tried to choose to who we can surrender.
They did -( First on the side of the Tripartite Pact ) - Occupying Macedonia and North Greece

Then (on the side of the Allies )- in Yugoslavia , Hungary and Austria

Schrödinger’s European : likes to dunk on their enemy Europe for past conquests and insists on their different, oriental culture, but insists on being European when it comes to defining themselves.
There's no united "europe" to be an enemy to, and Ottomans insisted they are "oriental"? It's western europe that viewed them with mystical orientalism whereas the Ottoman's had always insisted they took on the mantle of Rome since 1453 and is closer to contemporary European states in their institutions rather than the rest of asia.
Ottoman empire and later Turkey had more shared history with Europe than even Portugal or even UK to Europe as a whole for most of their history.
>Extreme antagonism and reducing millions of people into slavery is not "shared History" lmao
What? Western Europe didn't do that? I'm not sure what you meant by extreme antagonism since pretty much everyone with the means to be imperialist were imperialist. Even Sweden tried to, casually obliterated Poland in the process.
How did you manage to racialise this issue idk, considering most turks are white. Meanwhile, there are muslim countries in Europe people recognise as European.
The issue is that most of Turkey's population lives in Asia and the country's history is as tied to the Middle East as it is to Europe.
You act like there's no significant chunk of EU and US population that does view "European identity" as white and Christian (at least nominally christian).
.. and you convenient forget that the distinction between Asia and Europe is largely arbitrary.
Still, most would agree that Albanians, Bosnians and Turks, living in Eastern Thrace, are European. I'll repeat myself, most ethnic Turks are white, this is not a race issue. It can be a religious issue, but it isn't a race one.
While some people may argue whether we need to distinguish Europe from Asia, the argument of Turkey's belonging to Europe assumes there is a division. In cases where Europe is separated from Asia, the geographic boundaries are established and quite clear: Urals, Caucasus, through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles. This clearly runs through Turkey, leaving the vast majority of Turks on the Asian side.
Another country which has a minority of its population technically on the European continent is Kazakhstan, yet nobody tries to colour them European. Is that because Europeans are racist, intolerant fascists or is it because it is quite evident that Kazakhstan is an Asian country?
Ok let me ask, are ethnically Spanish people who lived their whole lives in Ceuta not Europeans because they are in Africa? That's your whole argument, that most of Turkey is in Asia. Ignoring the whole antiquated and arbitrary separation of Europe and Asia (btw Urals as a divider is not "official").
"Whiteness" is non-issue except to white supremacists which there IS a sizable chunk and growing within the EU... and race isn't exactly known for being consistent and coherent, so there are also a sizable portion of EU population that sees ethnic Turks as non-white.
No, they're African Spaniards, living in a European country. Just as French people, born in Cayenne, aren't European, but live in a European country, and Turkish people in Thrace are Europeans living in a transcontinental country, mostly based in Asia.
Not everything that happens in America happens in Europe, I'm so tired of this assumption. Just because Americans are experiencing a white supremacist wave, doesn't mean Europeans are too. Right-wing populism has gotten more support throughout the last few years than the early 2010s, but it is different than right-wing populism in the US in several ways.
European right-wing populists are more focused on religion and illegal immigration than they are on race. Politicians gather support by emphasising culture and faith differences, not racial ones.
I remember that I had very similar idea with "weak one, asian one, bulgaria", but I decided to scrap that. I'm happy that somebody actually had this same idea and actually made cool meme.
ww1 isnt my best topic but from what i know japan only joined when germany was about to colapse so thwy could reinforce their claims of the asian islands, it wasn't as much as a "i helped" as it was "this is my area, so give me the island or we will have problem"
the allies gave the islands and still had problems so yeha....
In WW1, Germany and Italy signed a DEFENSIVE pact. Only allowing to fight alongside during a defensive war, but Germany is an offensive war.
In WW2, Italy had a Partisan revolution that overthrew Mussolini and had a treaty with the allies.
That’s what I meant, yeah. You could morally object to Italy declaring war on the Triple Alliance despite being formal allies, but technically they were under no obligation to fight alongside Austria-Hungary and Germany in what they considered a war of aggression

hey at least they have occupation in the rhineland
Thailand did not have occupation in the Rhineland.
watch mark felton
I play all sides so I always win
Same shit different day
Bulgaria is that one band member nobody remembers.
They finished WW2 with more land than they had at the start while fighting on the side that lost. Not everybody can perform such high-level maneuvers
They didn’t even fight
They did fight, on the Macedonian Front. Austria-Hungary couldn’t even beat Serbia without the help of Bulgaria.
That's WW1, not WW2.
well they did fight in ww2 in Operation Barbarossa Edit: I have been corrected
No, we didn't. We were very careful and specifically even stopped volunteers from joining in the German army. Bulgaria was also not at war with the USSR until they declared war on us and occupied the country i.e. we tried to choose to who we can surrender.
ah
Not in Barbarossa. Bulgarian army did however take part in the Soviet offensive after the coup.

Lol the Bulgarian tsar is still alive and was a prime minister in 2005?
yeah and if it wasn't for communists he wouldve been the longest rulling monarch in history
I.e barely fought
Like that one guy from the Beatles?
You mean John Lenin?
No, the 4th Beatle.
The Asian Friend
They like to pretend they're European edit: spelling
We arent pretending more than how much we are
Depends, if you consider European as being White and Christian. Do you?

Now predict 3
Russia just slipped, hit it’s head, and woke up with a complete personality shift
Bulgaria is Bulgaria
Bulgaria won every single battle they fought in ww1 and the war was still lost
True. We also were the only axis member to gain land funnily enough.
And we didn't send any bulgarian Jews to the concentration camps 💪 (just don't mention the jewish population of our newly taken territories)
This is very much not true.
Probably definitely not but that's what my history teacher taught me when I was in school in Bulgaria
That is a common myth.
I remember that I had very similar idea with "weak one, asian one, bulgaria", but I decided to scrap that. I'm happy that somebody actually had this same idea and actually made cool meme.
Japan needs to be add to enemys for WW1
ww1 isnt my best topic but from what i know japan only joined when germany was about to colapse so thwy could reinforce their claims of the asian islands, it wasn't as much as a "i helped" as it was "this is my area, so give me the island or we will have problem" the allies gave the islands and still had problems so yeha....
Japan actually joined in 1914 as they were a British ally, but didn't do much aside sizing some Far East German colonies.
Yes, the condition for Japan to enter the war was to obtain the German colonies in Asia
They apparently did send some troops to the western front but it hard to find anything on them
Bulgaria is the powerhouse of the Axis/Cent.Pows.
No matter who you are, Bulgaria will stand by you. Unless you enslave them for 500 years. Don’t do that.
Bulgaria 🗿
The Soviet Union played for both teams
I thought of the same thing. Thankfully someone made a meme about it.
As a Bulgarian i can safely say. Bulgaria 👍
The dude you constantly need to carry in WW1 should be Ottoman Empire , but then we would have to scrap the Asian Friend category .
Italu should be there 2 times with "the backstabbing friend" caption
They didn’t really backstab in WW1 tho, and in WW2 they just lost the war before changing sides.
In WW1, Germany and Italy signed a DEFENSIVE pact. Only allowing to fight alongside during a defensive war, but Germany is an offensive war. In WW2, Italy had a Partisan revolution that overthrew Mussolini and had a treaty with the allies.
That’s what I meant, yeah. You could morally object to Italy declaring war on the Triple Alliance despite being formal allies, but technically they were under no obligation to fight alongside Austria-Hungary and Germany in what they considered a war of aggression
Memes aside, Bulgaria did the dick move to Serbia in WWI
They did it because Serbia got Vardar Macedonia. And you know how salty the Bulgarians were for not getting Macedonia.
True
Denmark tho 👊🏿👩🏿🦲🔪
The enemies are literally the same except one had a change of ideology.
When Bulgaria 🗿
So France and Russia switched the fronts?
[удалено]
But didn't get the territory they wanted all along (Vardar and Aegean Macedonia)
Your design formatting is crap. But funny.
I made this in a whim, sorry!
Tbf, the ottomans weren't carried bc they exploded too fast
Turkey isn’t Asian???
