Why NATO’s Biggest Internal Problem is Turkey

13:30 - 14:05 the number you used for Marmara regions gdp per capita ($72,000) was accounting for purchase power parity (ppp) whereas the number for the rest of turkey or Europe was not using ppp marmara's actual gdp per capita is around $20,000 (2018) also the map you used to to show turkey's nationwide gdp per capita implies this is the gdp per capita for the area except for Marmara whereas the number includes it . the actual gdp per capita for the red area displayed on the map would be around $8,000 in terms of total gdp the Marmara region makes up for around 44% of turkeys economy not 75%

“Turkey isn’t Pro-Western nor is it Pro-Russian. Turkey is simply Pro-Turkey.” This quote is a short summary of the video.

It is funny that nobody asked this question "What the US and the UK are doing in Cyprus, Syria, and Iraq".

So many countries have territorial ambitions based on their past greatest extent, it's interesting to see how these overlap.

The best breakdown of one country i ever saw on YouTube. Keep doing it, great job!

The side Turkey took in Libyan civil war is the one that is officially recognized by UN so the NATO members who sided with that general dictator are in the "wrong" here, this doesnt mean Turkey is acting against NATO considering almost all NATO members recognize the government Turkey supports

Technically a shitload of NATO countries (including the US) support Turkey’s side in the Libyan Civil War too.

Random geography is totally fine if it gives you an extremely advantageous trade chokepoint. But it is totally unfair it makes your coastal waters a bit smaller. No wonder these old conflicts just don't seem to end and new alliances are staying at arm's length.

Amazing, nicely done, thank you !!!

The map you have for Sevres partition is wrong: 1) Greek invasion zone expanded far beyond what you have shown. It contained the whole western Anatolia. 2) Southern Turkey was given to Italy and France as mandates (colonies) 3) Independence and self determination was only for Christian minorities. Neither Arabs nor Kurds were given independence. Sevres said “Kurds were not ready for self governing”. A British mandate was to be formed which may be independent in future. Turkey offered a plebicit for Northern Iraq in Lausanne. Lord Curzon’s response was “how can Kurds decide in a plebicit, they would eat the papers”. I still have no clue how this is supposed to be funny.

I think a video about the Balkans geography and how that influenced the history and politics of that region would be very interesting.

This channel is one of the best I've ever seen.

Thank you RealLifeLore!! Your information is so very helpful in helping understand the conflicts of the modern world. Your information in each of your series is SO helpful in understand the history, reasons for conflicts, and modern day concerns facing the world. For example, I never knew that Turkey and Greece loathed each other so deeply. LOVE your information, will consider a Nebulus subscription. Please keep sending this amazing content!

Tbh in Libya it was actually France and Greece that were the odd ones out, the EU (besides Greece, Cyprus and France) and Italy in particular all backed the Tripoli based government (the same one backed by Turkey) so in that case it was more those three countries disagreeing with their allies Edit: It was/is also the government recognised by the UN

21:24 Turkey, Greece and UK all signed up to a treaty that agreed upon terms of a country invading Cyprus to protect it's minority if any attack towards the latter happens. You explicitly do NOT mention this.

This content is insane thanks mate

Thanks to the media, people who do not know each other in the world can instantly talk to each other and exchange ideas. People cannot be deceived with lies like before.

Greece and Turkey signed a Friendship agreement in the 30s, and relations were generally friendly until the 50s. Venizelos, who was Prime Minister of Greece under the Second Republic and was instrumental in getting the Treaty of Friendship signed with Ataturk, even nominated Ataturk for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in normalising Greek-Turkish relations and letting go of past hatreds for the sake of stability and prosperity. The municipal council of Thessaloniki, Greece's second largest city and the birthplace of Ataturk, even voted to give the ownership of Ataturk's house to the Turkish state as a museum in 1935, which you can visit today.

I think you put a wrong title. "Turkey's Security Concerns" is a much suitable title for this video.

Omg, we were watching this & all of a sudden we saw our daughter in it!! It was a such a great surprise.
