Why Greece and Turkey HATE Each Other? ⚔️ #shorts

Why do Turkey and Greece hate each other? It all started with the Turkish conquest of Anatolia, the land that makes up the majority of modern Turkey, including the area that is now Greece. The Byzantine capital was Constantinople, now Istanbul, and in 1453 the city was conquered by the Ottomans. It would last for roughly another 400 years in 1821. The Greeks rebelled against a weak Ottoman Empire and become an independent country. It was a bloody war and there were a lot of massacres of civilians. They would fight several more wars until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The issue of Cyprus is also a cause for the animosity. Cyprus was mostly populated by Greeks, but with a significant Turkish minority. In 1974, there was a coupe in Greece and fearing an attempt by Greece to annex Cyprus. Turkish forces invaded and occupied the northern part of the island. The island has remained divided to this day and efforts to reunite the two have failed. #turkey #greece #serioustopics
