Britain, with MI6 forced Yugoslavia into WW 2. Even Yugoslavia wanted to stay as much neutral as possible, just by allowing forces of axis to pass across it's territory. But, allied forces didn't like this call made by Paul (Pavle), so they forced a coup and led Yugoslavia into disastrous destruction (bombing) and fast capitulation, that put our country years backwards, and stopped economic development, which was sort of wish of mighty countries, like Britain was. Sad, but very true.
As a result of the Balkan Wars, Greece gained southern Macedonia as well as the island of Crete. Serbia gained the Kosovo region and extended into northern and central Macedonia. Albania was made an independent state under a German prince. The political consequences of the wars were considerable. Bulgaria, frustrated in Macedonia, looked to Austria for support, while Serbia, which had been forced by Austria to give up its Albanian conquests, regarded Vienna with greater hostility than ever.
During the Soviet offensive and the subsequent retreat to Sevastopol, the 17th Army lost 12,221 Germans and 17,652 Romanians until 16 April 1944. In total 73,058 people reached safety in Romania during the first phase of the evacuation: 28,394 Germans, 20,779 Romanians, 723 Slovaks, 15,055 Russian volunteers, 2,559 POWs and 3,748 civilians.
Hitler should have delayed the German-Axis power invasion of the Soviet Union, either that or the Japanese should have opened up the Pacific front a year or two earlier to divide American military strength and forces, weakening US military capacity in the European theater. And when it came to invading the Soviet Union would have been wiser to wait a year or two and finish the work at the Western front...Of course with the benefit of hindsight, just sharing my pov.
@A2Kaid Japan started their war under incredible duress having all of their outside oil supplies cut in the late summer of 1941. Until then there was no reason to attack the United States.
today, in the usa, america is a police state with total control of the police FBI, CIA, NSA, Patriot Act, etc. government is spying on all americans right now. there is no habeus corpus here any more. so we know what is like believe me. lol we have secret prisons here too.
Not for long...and I'm thankful that I don't have to live in a nationalsocialist country. You Americans always think you know a lot about the Third Reich because you've seen a few documentaries. In reality you don't know ANYTHING. Because if you did, you wouldn't support this bullshit.
If some one try to tuch Transilvania, that country will get pwned fastly, Transilvania is Romanian land, if the Hungarians dont stop to tuch our dick they will get pwned, and again the Romanians troups will coquest Budapest .
Romania trebuie sa se curete de toate minoritatile ca daca nu vor ajunge sa ne fure tara, de fapt deja ne-au vandut tara la F.N.I, trebuie executati unguri aia morti lor, uite ca tot mai tare ii manca in pula.
Well who the hell are now romaninas?I know i will get lot's or puking on me now, but i never had romanians in my history and I am bulgarian , I have nothing agaisnt romaina.I just don;t get it how u appeared?
That's because your history converted into a phrase is like this : Each time someone came to conquer you , you had nothing against.
Why don't you google for Romania's history and you'll find out why it took the Roman Empire 150 years to conquer us , or why the Ottomans never managed to truly conquer us or how we defended against incredible odds in WW2.
I'll try to make it simple from you.The Dacs are the ancient inhabitants of our land (They are the descendants of the Tracs).After several attempts by the Roman Empire to conquer Dacia,they finally gained the upper hand in the year 106.
After that the colonization of our land begun.
So basically we are the descendants of the Dacs and Romans.
@FerralD3mur The Ottomans didn't conquer Walachia and Moldova because they wanted to go to Wien. The easiest road to Wien is through Budapest. Romanians have nothing to do with the Dacians. Romanians didn't defend anything in WWII. After the negotiations with the Allies (as part of the Axis of course) Romanians betrayed the Germans and captured the unprepared German army in the South. After that they joined the Russians to fight against their former allies as they did in WWI.
1 Moldova and Wallachia(the only free ortodox states) wore the first states ho defited otomans and wore the states ho fight with otomans (tartars,Hungary and Poland)250 years ,befor they wore subdued in vasality
In battle of Vaslui 40 000 moldavians and 5000 secui defited 120 000 otomans fited with the best altilery
Is the biggest victory until Viena victory of poles
2 Romania was the second allied of Germany in operation Barbarossa (losing 2 army's),we left the madnes because the war was lost ,only crazy and fouls tinck other way.
3 Hitler was more ocupied with killing yews than fighting and he has gone mad.
4 All former axis country capituleted only germany no (Hungary sing peace after Romania,Bulgary the same.
5 Romania lost 700 000 soldiers in WWII ,same on you
6 If you dnt know 43-44 hystory,Daciens is to muck for you,way to.
And how did blgaria came about?as i remember when romanian and russian troops fought at plevna in 1877 in bulgaria,turks where there.u were conquered turk land up until then.u are the ones with virtually no history friend.
@Acunga Usually history is written to suite the powers at hand. For example, very few romanians know of Antonescu's murderous ways in WWII, it's embarrassing! That's why probably in your history there is almost nothing of romania. In our history there is almost nothing of bulgaria, so the same question as to how you appeared! The fact that our language is latin based gives us a roman ancestry (hence the name romania). But our direct ancestors were the dacians, part of the thracians tribes!
@brav0wing SO where were you and what you did diring the middle age while we were fighting with Byzantium for what...lie 700 years? On our ancient maps Bulgaria was covering your teritory most of the time and was having borders with Frank Empire to the north, Hungaria, Kumans, but never Romanians
@Acunga There was no romania in the middle-ages, there were however 3 regions called Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania and all 3 of them had romanian speaking language people. Wallachia was also called the romanian country. The territory of today Bulgaria under Ottoman Empire covered dobrogea (near black sea), not Wallachia. In 1862, Moldova united with Wallachia and formed Romania. In 1878, a year after our independece, Dobrogea is made part of Romania and Bulgaria becomes autonomous.
@Acunga If you check the history of Wallachia you will see the rulers that fought against the turks, from Mircea cel Batran (Mircea the Elder) to Vlad Tepes (Dracula) to Mihai viteazul (Michael The Brave)!
@brav0wing, @Acunga No need to argue so much. Balkan history is very much interesting, also terrible, from ancient times until nowdays. Dacians were almost exterminated by Romans, and modern Romanians are of more Roman colonizators' and Slavic ancestry of their genes, thats what I've read and seen in documantary films. Also what was called Bulgaria(Mongols) in early middle ages has almost nothing to do with modern Bulgarians(Slavs). Respect for both of your people from Sebia.
@gujoni402 when i hear about the balcans i only think of two things evil and murder. serbia sounds to me like the name of a concentration camp.. if the jews, hate the croats, and the ortodox kill cristians, and protestants kill muslims... i dont understand.. i give them a solution to end the figthing, they should all commit suicide and give their land to peace loving citizens of the world. sick of all this bosnia otan albania crap. they dont want peace they want to be killed
@espejosgigantescos There are actually heavy religious divisions on Balkans, even Roman empire was divided here. Orthodox christian Serbs are in between catholic Croats and muslims-many converted to one of those, the rest is marked for destruction, that's what's going on for centuries. Religious differences provoke tensions, exploited-even provoked by near by religious and profit centers and their politics, people react to protect themselves, seek justice or revenge.

Well Transylvania (Erdély!) was Hungarian land for centuries but after trianon it became Romanian land. And after nazis grabbed power in Germany they gave it us back,(I DO NOT support nazis) but after WWII the allies gave it to the Romanians again. (Regardless to the fact that it wasnt Romanian or Allied territory)
Transilvania became after Trianon a part of Romania because most of her inhabitants were Romanians! First, we are not Hungarians, Romanians,etc.we are Humans, and the Earth is our HOME! Of course without gypsies the Earth will be "Home Sweet Home"...Pannonia was CONQUERED by hungarians in the 10th century!In 1944 Budapest was conquered by the Romanian army! this is the History my friend, let's take care of our lifes because the history's changing, maybe tomorow we'll bee all greeks, serbs
Transylvania became part of Romania because Romania changed her mind went into war cowardly and incidentally was on the winning side.
Was conquered? Really? Hungarian legends say that the coming Hungarians found people who spoke the same language as they did. Even Hungarian historians don't agree upon this subject, there are many theories, you can choose the variant which you like but that is still a theory so don't sell it like it was the truth.
From the 20 army corps attacking Budapest 3 were Romanians. To say that Romanians conquered Budapest is like saying Hungarians beat the Soviet Union at Sevastopol.
The last sentence shows how ignorant, rootless man you are. Just because history is changing doesn't mean you have to give your culture, your ideals and identity. IF you have one of course.
Transilvania is ROMANIAN LAND BEFORE ATTILA who comes from Asia get in Europe, PAPA of ROME gives to ATILA the Pannonian plain, but not Transilvania, Hungarian idiot!
The land of Transilvania was Dacian Land.
The Hungarians was barbars who comes from Asia to attak Rome, and they say now cuz Transilvania is Hungarian Land, fuck u muther fucker!!!
Transilvania is ROMANIAN LAND muther fucker, that land is romanian before the hungarian barbars comes to europe from asia, stupid hungarians gipsy's!!
