[QUOTE=proch;44281235]You know what let's restore the Holy Roman Empire I mean Germany can handle it can't it[/QUOTE] Let's restore the Teutonic Knights as well while we're at it.

[QUOTE=Scar;44281289]Let's restore the Teutonic Knights as well while we're at it. I'm sure you weren't using that clay anyway, were you?[/QUOTE] Not nearly as well as the Teutonic Order could I'm sure.

Are they serious about it, or just trying to poke fun at it?

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;44281340]Are they serious about it, or just trying to poke fun at it?[/QUOTE] Yes

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;44281340]Are they serious about it, or just trying to poke fun at it?[/QUOTE] If they're serious, there will be a lot of Russian tourists in Turkey soon Those tourists won't defend themselves

[QUOTE=Scar;44281289] Also the reason why Karl the Great (who most certainly isn't called Charlemagne, you buttmad Frenchies) was crowned Roman Emperor by Leo III.[/QUOTE] I always assumed that was because Leo III was drunk with power. And pissy that the other Patriarchs thought he was a semi-heretical asshole. Hint: [sp]he was.[/sp]

I say do it!

[QUOTE=Kinversulath;44281202]Didn't Russia lose the Crimean War? If anything, that bolsters the Turkish claims on the Crimea in my eyes. [/QUOTE] It takes less than a minute to google that out for precise information, as well as seeing that [quote]By art. IV Britain, France, Sardinia and Turkey restored to Russia "the towns and ports of Sevastopol, Balaklava, Kamish, Eupatoria, Kerch, Jenikale, Kinburn, as well as all other territories occupied by the allied troops."[/quote] Crimea was basically handed back to Russia.

[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;44281608] Crimea was basically handed back to Russia.[/QUOTE] Which would actually strengthen their position in that they were holding to the stipulations of the treaty.

[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;44281608]It takes less than a minute to google that out for precise information, as well as seeing that Crimea was basically handed back to Russia.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but the crucial point of that statement is: [quote]By art.

I'm fully confident that the Turks can take the Crimea again.

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;44281159]This just in thousands of Janissaries have arrived in the Crimea, they are not wearing any military insignia. Turkey insists they are a Crimean self defence force, depsite being armed with muskets and cannon of obvious Ottoman design.[/QUOTE] A worthy opponent to the Serb volunteers :v:

I actually am living in a Town that was largely influenced and expanded upon by the Teutonic order. And Marienburg is just around the corner, good as new. Teutons do your work please

I think every country should make claims to each other based on historical treaties and ownership. Imagine the headlines: "Denmark and France dispute claims over England as England reclaims a quarter of the earth. Italy disintegrates amid France's confusion."

The Ottoman Empire fell apart so them even considering calling a claim is a bit absurd. Its this same logic that allowed Hong Kong to be taken over by the oppressive PRC.
