@Big smoke U obviously need to educate yourself. Bosnians are mix of Croats, Serbs and Muslim Serb and Croats who took the religion from Turkey when we were fighting them on Balkan. So...
@i like geography alot you don't make any sense at all every race is mixed up with one another during ancient times it was pretty common to marry from other races so of course Slavs gonna have Illyrian genes but does that make them Illyrian not. Only the Albanian language is the closest one with Illyrian all those ancient Illyrian writings on stones take a Slavic kid and an Albanian kid and tell them both if they can read and understand what is written the Albanian kid will read and explain with no problem while the Slav cant.
@@stomio6491 because we don't lol. The only reason why we claim Illyrians as our forefathers is because of cultural reasons, not because of Kosovo { even though the war is enough justification for it being ours but i digress }. The sources we use for our claim in Epirus stem from the medieval era where there's a clear mention of an albanian population living there, our claims are not from the antiquity unlike the Greek claims. Leaving out venetian influence in Illyrian, whatever texts we have before the Roman conquest in the region, it corresponds with Albanian quite thoroughly. All modern peoples are mixtures, you can't use this "X people descent from all these other peoples" in an argument. Besides, DNA has shown that Albanians are among the oldest people in Europe fitting in our narrative of our ancestors being an ancient Balkan people. Britain and France did not help us, if anything they were more of your allies. Hell, they and Italy wanted to partition Albania alongside it's neighbors, the only reason why that didn't happen was because Woodrow Wilson didn't allow it. Also Albania gained it's independence after the first Balkan war, not World War.
@@stomio6491 it really doesn't matter who was living in Epirus at the time, be they Greek or Illyrian or a pre Indo-European peoples. What matters is that the leaders of said land were Greeks/followed Greek culture more than their own, simple really. Here i suppose : www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.intoalbania.com%2Fattraction%2Fmosaic-of-mesaplik%2F&psig=AOvVaw327WZuQV5MmiZRLHQC8ySn&ust=1593962633900000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CA0QjhxqFwoTCLinzdnzs-oCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD Here is a mosaic from around VI century A.D., it was found in the city of Vlora, it has various foods "painted" in it and it has the saying "A pak, ke tac". This is note worthy given by the fact that it aligns perfectly with Gheg Albanian and the people, particularly the old still us this phrase { it basically translates to "eat less, so you'll have more to eat for later" } The Mycenaeans are the first people { that we know off } that spoke Greek, in essence they're the "first Greeks". They almost exclusively used to inhabit the South of Greece, thus if there were some peoples staying the north to them, they most likely got absorbed into the Greeks over time. This may also be true about the Illyrians as well. The Greeks living in South Albania/North Epirus moved in during the 90s when land was cheaper to purchase than in Greece. Also, a lot of the those people descent from communist revolutionaires who found refuge in Albania. Russia and France wanted to give North Epirus to Greece, however Italy and Austria Hungary were against it given the fact that the area was almost completely homogeneous Albanian lands with a couple of Aromanian/Vlach families. Actually, Albanians only immigrated to the then Byzantine Empire simply because they were ordered to do so. These areas were almost completely whipped out because of the plague, thus they were sent there as colonialists to re populate the lands, soon enough they also became feared war lords as well. P.S. apologies for the late reply
@@stomio6491 Hello Stomio. I sent you a reply in another video showing to you that albanians have not originated from the Caucasus. So no, they have no relation. Also, albanians had a nation before the ottoman invasion. The Principality of Arbanon (you saw it in this video). They also had multiple principalities that fought against the ottomans. So no, they deserved their own independent country, direct descendants of the illyrians or not. Edit: It is good to see someone who is not albanian be interested in albanian history.
@@stomio6491 I knew about the city of Saranda having a greek majority, but the other cities of Northern Epirus have an albanian majority. Greeks have claims of Northern Epirus, while albanians have claims of what they call "Çamëria". We can't let the past determine our future. We now live in peace and within borders recognized by all other countries. We've had these borders since 1913. We need to move on and improve relations instead of being stuck with arguments of Northern Epirus being greek or Çamëria being albanian.
There's a mistake in your video: after WW1, prince William never returned to Albania; his was a government in exile and he played no role in politics. There was a series of governments led by Panderi Evangjeli, Ilias Vrioni, Xhafer Ypi, Fan Noli and others. Also Zog was Minister of the Interior from 1921-1924 (and by all accounts the real source of power) before Noli came to power in '24.
He was not Albanian. He was a Turkish Vali (Governor) from Kavala, modern day Greece. He is known as Kavalalı Mehmed Ali Paşa in Turkey. (Mehmed Ali Paşa of Kavala). I am from Kavala as well. His family was brought to Kavala from the Eastern Black Sea region of modern day Turkey. However there were some important Albanians who left Turkey and moved to Egypt for different reasons. Turkey's national poet Mehmed Akif Ersoy was an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo.
@olsi pajo As you know, Turks and Muslim Albanians created families. Of course it's possible that Mehmed Ali Pasha or I have some Albanian blood. But ethnic and cultural roots of him show that he was Turkish. Even after a century Turkish was spoken in the Egyptian palace. The relatives of the Khidiv (Title of the family of the Pasha) served to Turkey and they were speaking Turkish as mother tongue not Albanian. (Example: Said Halim Pasha - Prime Minister of the Empire during the World War).
@olsi pajo I have read the article but this article doesn't show that he is an Albanian. Please find and read the letters of his son Ibrahim Pasha. This is not a propaganda. Mehmed Ali has done nothing for"Albanians" or "Turks". He has worked for himself and Egypt. I have no problem with Albanians but every Muslim in Balkans is not Albanian.
@@eliot.0525 They didn't spoke Albanian they didn't worship gods Albanians do there names have nothing to do with the Albanian ones today the word Albanian first became a thing in the middle ages and Illyrians were mostly in modern day Croatia and Bosnia while modern Albania is way southerner But sure they were Albanian
@@MsPaintMr The only evidence is the misinterpretation of the name Albania which used to refer to a region in the Caucasus around the year 0. Of course this region bordered Iberia so clearly Spanish and Portuguese are also from the Caucasus. I mean, technically Albanians did originate near the Caucasus, but that's because all Indo-Europeans originate near the Caucasus and their cultures spread and diversified from there, giving rise to Albanians, Greeks, South-Slavs and Italians alike.
@@markhenley3097 not quite because there were some Border changes for example when Michael the Brave united Romania for the first time or when Wallachia owned skme puppet states and Dobruja and Constanta.
There isnt so much connection between the dacians and romanians, this theory created in the 19th century to have a good origin story, to unite the people (which was necessary as they became independent). But i think this will cause another comment war, so peace.
yes like other emperors were for illyria from iberia etc etc.. didnt you know that romans in the last periods of their empire let strangers took part in political and military scene??? that was one of the reasons of collapsing. also like the germans they learne things from romans.
I'm from albania but i live in greece you are great doing the history! Une jam nga Shqiperia por jetoj ne Greqi ju jeni te shkelqyer duke bere historine!
Sven The dutchman No Kemetans or ancient "Egyptians" are Albanians, King Tutanchamun has had an Albanian headshape and Rome's name was SPQR and Albania's name is SHQIP #SHQPR Rome was founded by Illyrian tribes which is just a fancy word for Albania I would gladly give my liver for this glorious country
Pandaros They’re apparently a very toxic community who have grand delusions about Albanian supremacy and so on. The leader likes to visit other mappers and harass them. He also believes his content “100% REALISTIC” when authentic maps and licensed, professional historians say otherwise.

Most of us do, they divided our territory and we are forced to live in enemies land.. I hope someday we will finally reunite (Kosovo,West Macedonia, Epirus etc)
@B3K1M H the League was comprised of Albanians and Serbs, and was under the patronage of the Venetians, but after disagreements between the League and Venice broke out, it came under the Kingdom of Naples. Most Albanian nobles had left it anyways..
@PEPAJ bro, turks dont giev a f**k to you. Dont think the world revolves around of you, you are just a little neighbourhood with 2 million population and too small to turks care with you. Go and bark to greeks, not turks.
Here is a few suggestions for your next video : Kosovo War, American invasion of Afghanistan, updated version of Donbass war (if anything has changed) and i don't know if you can make this on map, The Troubles
Lazar Jovanovic, yeah and I saw several Germans, French, Greeks, English , and even more Historians saying that Albanians are Illyrians, and if it we made up that we were Illyrian in the 20th century, then why are there books conducting research kn Albanian language in the 18th century saying that Albanians are Illyrians.
Lazar Jovanovic, So yeah, I think I am going to listen to the hundreds ands thousands of historians, and linguists saying that we are Illyrian, and ignore those two or three researches that say we aren’t. And it has been proven several times that the Albanian language came from south Illyrian.
@@Cartographical I saw litteral albanian historian and jewsih historians say you are not illyirians. 2nd that cheap lie only appeared in 18th century NEVER before that
@@rland6690 No, not at all. Kosovo have been an important historical area for Serbs for hundreds of years. Kosovans became the albanized Serbs after war in Yugoslavia, when albanian influnce and attacks were bigger and bigger. That's the whole story.
@@rland6690 Those are undeniable facts. The only fake history is yours. You're not "Illyrians"... you are just some bullshit mix of Slavs, Romans and Turks. Kosovo belongs to Serbia as there are tons of serbian historical monuments. Albanians have never been in this area before 19th century. Serbians did.
Nice video! I know it’s hard to put over 800 hundred years in one video but just to let you know you missed Balsha family, which they extended the territory more than everyone else including Skanderbeg and also he has mentioned imself! Thanks for the video!
@EmperorTigerstar on my twitter account ‘malicious mango’ I tweeted you with a map that could be potentially ranked nope/10 in your next bad maps video 👍.
@@user-rw8vz7qe9c alexander the great was macedonian right!

@Panos - Sim Racer lol search for Principality of Arta a Albanian Principality Arta is a Albanian word Arta means "Golden"(city) in Albanian .i didnt said anything for Sparta tho
@Panos - Sim Racer Arta was a Albanian principality and Shpata is another one ,Gjon Bua Shpata was the ruler of that Principality .in ancient times yes it was Hellenic but the name Arta and what im saying is Albanian ,im not saying anything for Greek history
@Panos - Sim Racer go in google translate English Albanian and write e Arta . Golden .Arbër (Albanian) also mean Peoples Made of Gold in Albanian ,these are the meaning.
@Panos - Sim Racer dude dont try to tell me justifications and lies .Arta was a Albanian principality of 13-14th century ,Arta means Golden city in Albanian. The river doesnt even match the name Arta .Arta is also a Albanian name for womens and as i said Arta was Albanian principality and thats why the name is Arta still search for it in google if u want .and the Leader is Gjin Bua Shpata or in English "John Spata" (Shpata is a Albanian username and means sword)
@Panos - Sim Racer dude name Arta comes from Albanian ,Albanians controlled it in ancient times it wasnt called Arta tho so it was renamed by Albanians. Golden City doesnt mean they have gold it means Beautiful city in the way we Albanians say things like if i call you Golden guy in Albanian in fact im saying great guy or beautiful/nice,etc guy .Arbër(the medieval name of Albanians) is still used by Albanian Arvanites and Arbëresh in Greece and Italy still they dont say we are Albanians or speak Albanian they say we are Arbër and we speak Arbëresh . Arbër means Peoples Made of Gold.Are we really made of gold or flesh?! It means Great peoples ,nice peoples ,beautiful peoples and many other great names it can mean ,this is Albanian language (edit : Arta was also part of Albanian territory till 1912 before the Treaty of London happen and they gave out our lands for free for no logical reason except saying" it may stop wars in balkans if we give Albanians lands to other neighbours because Albanians just got independence again so they cant react" which didnt work ,"peaceful" serbia started ww1 2 years later for wanting even more lands like always ... )
Grigor Kamona destroyed it. Dhimiter progoni married a serbian princess in order to make peace with serbs then a year later "died naturally" with no heirs. The serbian princess married general Grigor Kamona who gave arbanon to byzantines again. Golem overthrowed Grigor but Arbanon was already weak since byzantines didnt keep the promises and anexed albania fully. Then durin epirus-byzantine war the population supported epirus in the south while the lords byzantines. And at the end albanians just choosed normans from sicily since both epirus and byzantines betrayed them
Well,the etnolinguistic homeland of Proto-Albanians,according to historians,was Dardania.Albanians are a Paleobalkanic population and speaking a Paleobalkanic language in the Balkans long before Slavic migrations...so,go to study some history.
You should put up a screen for a few seconds telling how many years the country was non existent, it can be a little confusing when there’s a big jump at the same rate
Thé history of Albania is sad as the Armenian everyone trying to stop us from being independent The only difference for Armenia they was also trying to end the Armenian people
ilir AL let’s hope so because 7millions of Armenian are forced to live exiled because we don’t have enough lands and turkey don’t want to pay for the Armenian genocide
