What the fuck is this map. Ottoman Empire had way less European territory in 1910 it was something like modern Turkey

Looks accurate enough. It also shows why both Greece and Turkiye agreed to a population exchange, since the two groups were way too sparsely intermixed for borders to make sense otherwise.

It looks correct. Half of turks had already migrated to anatolia by that time

It was an Empire. So this makes Sense. Check out Roman empire

With respect, Hebrew ( yellow on the map) is a language of the Jews; please consider referring to Jews as Jews.

I find this to be so sad. You had millions of people in diverse interspersed communities (the solid colors you see here don’t show how diverse it was within those colors, e.g.. Thessaloniki). Then a horrific violent nationalism forced millions to move and killed hundreds of thousands of people. For what? Nation states are one of the saddest moments in history.

Where are the North Macedonians? They have their national identity, different than Bulgarian at that time.

Greeks in Karaburun is a straight giveaway 🤣

The number of greeks in albania is overestimated, it mirrors the orthodox majority areas of Southern Albania essentially ignoring the existence of orthodox Albanians.
Vlachs have never been even a fraction of Vlorë’s population and they are way farther spread than this map shows.

Since when was Karaburun peninsula in Vlorë Albania inhabited? Even more from Greeks. Saranda was just a Monastery with a few villages some greek identity some Albanian both Muslim and Christian never Greek majority, Gjirokaster also, Korça also. I know a propaganda map when I see it.

Eastern Thrace is partially incorrect, Bulgarians formed the plurality in most of the region- see this estimation, published in 1912: https://web.archive.org/web/20120831151609/http://users.skynet.be/ovo/GodsdBalkan.html.
