No Armenian genocide. No Greek genocide. Etc.
Yep, Crimean War always portrayed as a sort of counter-attack to ‘Northern aggression’ but it overlooks the fact that Balkans and Southeastern Europe were occupied by Turks at the time resulting in bloody persecution of Christians.

Some even argue if the Ottomans weren’t bailed out Islam could have been forever crippled as a global political ideology.
