  1. What I’d really love would be a map that highlighted each region’s tendency to be the subject of ethnographic maps.

    Obviously, the metric is questionable, but creating a plausible looking one from thin air as a sarcastic joke would be very easy.

  2. Stop posting fake ahistorical maps from Instagram created entirely to sow division in order to rack up engagement through comments of people arguing.

  3. No Greeks in Southern Albanian??? lmao

    Ye this map is pure agenda pushing overexaggerating minorities the “map creator” (no sources btw) likes.

    Why the actual fvck do you even mention Macedonian Slavs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5. In no fucking way did the Jews constitute the majority of population in rural areas of Bukovina. They were the majority only in Chernowitz (Cernauti) and maybe in a couple of other towns.

    Im 70% certain this is false, i want a source.
    The Albanians in Thessaly and southern Epirus + other strange and seemingly ahistorical things makes me question the accuracy.

  7. Why so many areas in random shades of green? I see Russians in Northern Carpathians, and Slovakia populated by Italians, and Slovaks living in Danube Delta…

  8. Nationalists really looked at this and said “we should divide everything up by ethnicity, that’ll be nice and clean.”

  9. The only thing interesting about this map is “Macedonian Slavs” I don’t think that was existing yet. Everything else is pretty spot on

  10. kinda funny that every ethnicity in the legend is just “Serbs”, “Croats” etc… and then there’s “**THE** French”, like it’s Joker saying “**The** Batman!” xD
