History

-With the Nations-

Turkey: First off, the reporter better have written my name as Ottoman Empire, because we are reenacting a scene from before I changed to Turkey.

England: Ok, Mr. Ottoman Empire…

Turkey: Ottoman!

England: I said Ottoman!

Turkey: No, you said O'oman. Your accent is awful.

England: Just get on with it!

HRE: Is it my turn? Ok. So, my name came about after Grandpa Rome fell, and the pope decided to name me after him.

England: Which pope?

HRE: Leo III.

Rome: I did not fall! I was still alive! I live—

England: Your land did not include the city of Rome. Your name was Byzantium, and your people spoke Greek.

Rome: But the people were Roman!

Turkey: They were Greco-Roman, Arab-Roman, and everything but full Roman.

Rome: Th-

England: Moving on! So then what?

Hungary: My mighty nomadic warriors –

Rome: … failed to enter Constantinople. Waaah! It's true! Put down the… what is that?

Turkey: You really ARE ancient. It's a frying pan.

England: Come on, stop getting off topic! How did you survive the Huns, Rome?

Rome: Constantinople had a moat, three walls, and ninety-seven defense castles. And if that isn't enough proof that I'm an awesome architect, they were built in six weeks and still stand today!

Hungary: So they really were built in six weeks. I thought I had received false information.

Turkey: Don't forget that Istanbul had a massive chain across the harbor. And you can see it in a museum today.

England: Constantinople, not Istanbul.

Turkey: Whatever, they're the same thing!

England: You were the one who demanded we call you Ottoman Empire! Ottoman, happy? OTToman!

HRE: Meanwhile, back where we were…

England: Around that time, my nobles got mad and signed the Magna Carta. I got a parliament.

France: My territory was expanded under Charlemagne the Great.

England: Then we had a big fight…

France: One hundred years. I won. Be quiet, England.

Rome: Hey, you know what else?

England: What?

Rome: Constantinople is a cultural melting pot because of all the trade!

England: We weren't talking about Constantinople.

Turkey: It is still a trade center today, as well as a link between Europe and Asia!

England: TUR—OTTOMAN EMPIRE!

Turkey: Sorry.

HRE: I think we got everything. Besides, if we go on longer, someone will get killed. Goodbye!

-And cut-

Inspired by my history teacher! For one thing, she (my teacher) is teaching Medieval History so my head is full of fresh knowledge that I put here, and for another thing she has some really intellectual conversations with me- we were talking about "Ottoman" vs. "Odoman" vs. "O'oman", and how British accents work, just last Friday. (Hence the O'oman argument.)

Also, the "I was still alive!" thing from Rome: The Byzantines thought of themselves as Romans even after Western Rome fell, so they were rather insulted when Pope Leo III crowned someone "Holy Roman Emperor." To the Holy Romans, Grandpa Rome was dead but now lived on in them. To the Byzantines, the Holy Romans were stealing their name!

Thank you for reading!
