I'm Turkish and I'd describe our relationship with Greece as very brother-like. We hate each other's guts and fight a lot but at our core we're the same, we share a lot of our culture, cuisine and values. We just speak different languages and in hard times I like seeing that we support each other as well.

Alright, entitled frenchman here. Let me explain and confirm those expressions at 1:05 : "To take a scottish shower" (prendre une douche écossaise???) ==> never heard of it. Might as well not exist. "The english have landed" (Les anglais sont arrivés) ==> I've heard it said once, definitely not common. "To slip away the english way" (filer à l'anglaise) ==> Friendly banter, nothing more. (I swear è.é ) "To talk like a spannish cow" (parler comme une vache espagnole) ==> The real expression is "To talk english like a spannish cow" (Parler anglais comme une vache espagnole), used to denote of the peculiar French way of refusing to speak English properly. "Spannish wanking" (branlette espagnole) ==> Exactly as advertised. Us french have a lot of vocabulary for a lot of very specific acts. "A spannish inn" (Une auberge espagnole) ==> Yeah, exactly that. Somewhere where everything can happen. Also the title of a cool French movie about an Erasmus student in Spain. "The russian mountains" (Les montagnes russes) ==> Ok this one is a bit off. "Montagnes Russes" is our french term for "rollercoaster", we don't have "Rouleurs-côtiers" or whatever the fuck the quebecquois translation is. So, this expression is **tangeantially** related to Russia, because it's an expression derived from an expression. "To be drunk like a Pole" (Saoul comme un Polonnais?) ==> never heard of it. We used other expressions, like "rond comme une queue de pelle" (Round like a shovel handle) to describe sunday afternoon. "A german quarrel" (Un conflit allemand?) ==> Wut? Never heard it in my life, but I definitely can see it used in northern France, especially Normandie. "A Roman's job" (un travail à la romaine? Une tâche/corvée à la romaine?) ==> never heard of it. Seems like something very old people, forced to learn latin in elementary school, would say. I cannot see the other ones, you're blocking them with that dazzling smile of yours toycat.

With the map @ 2:00 - the Brittany region of France actually traditionally speaks a Celtic dialect (related to Cornish (most closely), Welsh, and Gaelic) - so making it part of Ireland isn’t actually that crazy. It arguably makes more sense than it being part of France. Just ensure that the entire historic part of Brittany - including Nantes (which Vichy France carved out of Brittany and has yet to be restored) - is included. Looks like they did that here. 😊

6:10 Actually, that's not the case for Turkey, the truth is that during Ottoman times, there was a huge mixing happening in there, so even today, you can see very fair skinned turks, with light eye colors like green and blue, same thing with hair colors, but there are also a lot of darker skinned turks, with dark hair, brown eyes. This is also true to Bulgaria, but at lesser extent. So since turks want to be considered more European, the darker skinned people are more likely to do whitening to look more European and the really light skinned ones, are likely to want to tan to follow the trend and stand out more, lol

Good for fictional altenative history but bad for realistic alternative history.

That's a big part of why often countries make puppet regimes in other countries rather than annex it directly and forcibly assimilate by oppresion such as a ban on using your language..sth like that would lead to decades of rebellions and terrorist attacks.
