Why?
>>18761999Orthodoxy+Islam combo

Western vs Oriental world
>>18762050>we wuz greekz o algo
>>18762064greeks are oriental
>>18762097The definition of "Western civilization" is Germanic schizophrenia about them being the "inheritors" of oriental Greeks and Latins
>>18762011Majority Serb Orthodox regions in Vojvodina in Austro-Hungary are blue
*geographic determinisms in your chauvinism thread*but seriously, can balkanoids stop fighting for 2 seconds, you're all getting mass 'jeet migration in any case
>>18762245Germanic civilization cures illness with antibiotics, the middle eastern civilization of the romanians and hellegypsies uses bloodletting instead. There's a qualitative difference between these.
>1931I'm guessing "illiterate" in this case means "does not read (official language)", and they don't consider being able to read and write in any other language to be relevant to the survey.
>>18762289>in Austro-Hungarythere's your answer
>>18761999The ottomans didn't give a shit about literacy or industries, when Serbia went independent it was a rural shithole full of peasants and farms, the only ones who could read were priests. The little money they had was directed to the army, not towards education
Im sorry but its absolutely insane to me people blame the ottoman empire for this. This just says in 50 years these countries were unable to teach their own people, with zero oppression from an overlord how to read. Typical balkan victim blaming lmfao, and 200 years later they still dont have proper highways or infrastructure but i guess sultan mehmed XIIIs 400 year old corpse is to blame. Incompetence and victim mentality, lethal combo
>>18762467>This just says in 50 years these countries were unable to teach their own peopleNo shit nigger, all their money was directed towards the army
>>18762470So let me get this straight the balkans dont achieve shit in 50 years meanwhile worstkoreans go from poorest country in asia to one of the richest in the same span and turkey, the ottoman empires successor, was in ruins after ww1, worse than any balkan country, and still not only managed to teach its people how to read but also in a completely different script.Could it be everyone learns how to move on except self important balkaners who always have an excuse?
>>18762480Comparing the late 1800s to post ww2 korea is delusional>turkey, the ottoman empires successor, was in ruins after ww1, worse than any balkan country, and still not only managed to teach its people how to read but also in a completely different script.The reason ataturk managed to make turkey advance so much was because he destroyed what was making the ottomans lag behind (religion). Otherwise it'd be a shithole like Syria or Pakistan
>>18762467Believe it or not, everything is built on a foundation of things that came before.
>>18762345>I'm guessing "illiterate" in this case means "does not read (official language)"not at all, since most Slovenians (the NW dark blue region) did not speak the official language, being Serbocroatian
>>18762289Plurality you mean. According to the 1910 census they were only a third of the population while Hungarians + Germans + Croats + Slovaks had a combined majority of 55.5%.
>>18761999You know why

>>18762304>but seriously, can balkanoids stop fighting for 2 seconds, you're all getting mass 'jeet migration in any caseAll Yugo national identities are based exclusively on spite and hatred against nearby similar ethnicities.
>>18762304I miss Yugoslavia more than you would ever believe
>>18765109>identity is based around being different from othersNo shit.
>>18762480Korea is per capita the biggest recipient of economic aid from the US since WW2 lol
>>18762480>worstkoreans go from poorest country in asia to one of the richest in the same spanai hallucination or timeline jump? It's one of the biggest shitholes there's people still dying of hunger there
>>18762480Korea got muttbux
>>18765286Guy asked why Balkaners are so obsessed with each other and not the jeets. That's the answer.
>>18761999Borders of the ottoman empire 1700-1870
>>18762345>>1931>I'm guessing "illiterate" in this case means "does not read (official language)", and they don't consider being able to read and write in any other language to be relevant to the survey.Indeed, it's the same with maps showing X% German population in Polish lands, with absolutely 0% Poles in Germans lands."What are you?!""I'm Polish.""Do you speak German?""Sure, you assholes invaded and forced us to learn it.""Then you are German!"
