Greco-Thraco-Illyrian Region 2

Greco-Thraco-Illyrian Region 1

In ancient times, before Roman conquest, there were only three groups of people that lived in Region A2 of Eastern European Group 4. These were Hellenes, Thracians and Illyrians. Thracian territory was much larger than Illyrian in both North-South and East-West Axes. Thracian land started from Aegean Sea and reached as far north as Poland and Czech Republic. There were approximately two hunderd Thracian tribes.

Thracian territory was at least twice as large as Illyrian territory. There is no universal agreement regarding the boundaries between these territories. Some areas like Pannonia and Paeonia were mixed, Thracian and Illyrian. Perhaps Thracians were more or they were more spread out. In the northern part, Thracians had Illyrians next to them and in the southern part, Thracians had Hellenes next to them.

Additionally, Hellenes had established colonies on the shores of Thracian land, in Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea. Northern Thracians had contacts with Hellenes in Hellenic colonies. Also, they had contacts with Southern Thracians who were more hellenized. Before Roman conquest, Thracians (especially Southerns), mingled and mixed more with Hellenes and were more assimilated into them, compared to Illyrians.

In ancient times, Thracian presence is mentioned in some areas of Hellas; Macedonia, Attika, Boetia, Aegean islands. According to Thucydides, Thracians inhabited the area of Phocis, around Delphi. Eastern Macedonia and Thrace is one of the thirteen (first level) administrative divisions in contemporary's Hellas (Greece). This area was in Thracian Odrysian kingdom, which became part of Macedonian Empire. Thracians accompanied Alexander in his conquest. During Hellenistic period, Southern Thracians were in Lysimachian Empire.

Thracians were categorized in Southerns and Northerns. Dunabe was the line that separated them. Southern Thracians established the Odrysian kingdom. Northern Thracians were Getae and Dacians. They dwelled in Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, eastern Serbia, northern Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hungary, southern Poland, eastern Czech Republic.

There is some confusion with the use of these two names. Some scholars use the term Geto-Dacians. Others use both names, Getae and Dacians, interchangeably, referring to the same group of people. According to one opinion, the name Getae was used by Greeks and the name Dacians by Romans. The most acceptable theory suggests that the distinction is based on the territory they lived in.

Getae were around Danube and close to Black Sea, while Dacians were more to the West and North. Some scholars use the name Dacians for the western tribes of North Thracians that mixed with Illyrians in Pannonia. Pannonia included Hungary, western Slovakia, eastern Austria, northern Croatia, north-western Serbia, northern Slovenia, northern Bosnia.

Pannonian tribes are considered Illyrian by some scholars. The most accepted theory asserts that they were mixed, Illyrians with Dacians. Illyrian tribes were in Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, a large part of Croatia and Bosnia, part of Slovenia, western and central Serbia. Illyrians and Thracians did not call themselves like that. These were the names Hellenes gave them.

Later, Vlachs, who most likely were Northern Thracians (Geto-Dacians), migrated all over a large part of Eastern Europe. There are endless citations of Vlachs. Indicatively, we will present only a few. Whoever is interested in the subject, can do more research. There is a lot of information regarding Vlachs. They are mentioned as early as 976 AD in Byzantine documents.

Thesally was named Magna Vlachia. Aetolia, Acarnania, Dorida, Locrida was Little Vlachia and southwestern Macedonia, Epirus (including the part presently in Albania) was Upper Vlachia. These are areas in contemporary Hellas. They had large numbers of Vlachs. Moesia (south of Danube river) was White Vlachia. Vlachs were guides and guards of Byzantine caravans. Vlachs from Thesally, moved from April to September to the mountains of North Macedonia and Bulgaria.

A monastic document of Mount Athos, cites that three hundred Vlach families lived near the mountain and they called their settlement "catuns". They were present in large numbers in Chalcidice peninsula. There were large settlements of Vlachs in the mountains near Drina and Morava in Serbia - Bosnia and In Strumitsa, North Macedonia (called Kimbalongu).

Another Vlach settlement is mentioned near Pristina (Kosovo). Also Vlachs resided, in Istrian Peninsula which includes parts of Slovenia and Croatia. A large number of Vlachs settled in Szeben country in Hungary, after a military expedition of King Beta III. Between 1290 and 1293 AD, Andrew III of Hungary allowed Hungarian nobles to invite Vlachs to settle in their land.

In 1027 AD, Byzantine army tried to recapture Sicily from Arabs and recruited many Vlachs from Macedonia. In 1097 AD, Byzantine Emperor Alexios Komnenos ordered Vlachs to resetlle from Chalchidice to Peloponnese. In 1099 AD, Vlachs attacked Crusaders between Branicevo and Naissus, in modern day Serbia. They are mentioned as enemies of Boniface of Montferrat and Henry of Flanders who were leaders of the Fourth Crusade.

Byzantine Emperor Isaac II Angelos wanted to marry the daughter of King Beta III of Hungary. To raise money for the wedding, he imposed taxes and that caused a revolt of Vlachs and Bulgarians, in 1195 AD. In 1285 AD, Byzantine Emperor Andronikos Palaiologos moved Vlachs from Thrace to Asia Minor. In 1290 AD, Wallachia was formed as a Hungarian vassal state. Vlachs assisted Croatian leaders Mladen Šubić and Mladen II Šubić of Bribir and also Polish King Władysław I Łokietek.

Vlachs were all over Balkans, Hungary and even Poland. Their ancestry is Northern Thracian. In ancient times, before Christ (BC), Thracians occupied a large territory that started from Aegean Sea and reached til Poland and Czech Republic. In addition to that, after Roman conquest, Vlachs who were Geto-Dacians (Thracians), migrated in large numbers, all over Balkans, Hungary and reached even Poland.

So a large part of Eastern Europe has some Thracian ancestry. Thracians are the "unknown" common ancestors of many Eastern Europeans. Percentage of Thracian ancestry may vary according to the area but there is some, starting from Hellas and reaching all the way to Czech Republic, Poland and Ukraine. No contemporary country has tried to preserve Thracian heritage and history. That should be a goal of Region A2 in Eastern European Group 4.

Among the people that resided in this vast area in ancient times, only Hellenes presently have a country. There is no contemporary country Thrace or Illyria. Albanians claim some Illyrian ancestry. Albanoi was an Illyrian tribe. Also, in Croatia and Serbia, there was an Illyrian movement of intellectuals and people in prominent positions, around the middle of 19th century. These three countries and others that have some Illyrian ancestry, should preserve their heritage and history.

Hellas has the main responsibility to preserve Thracian heritage and history. Of course, other countries that partially descend from Thracians, are encouraged to do the same. But Hellas is obligated. After all, Thracians (Southern) mingled and mixed a lot with Hellenes, were assimilated into them and became hellenized. Hellas has a region that was in Odrysian kingdom, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.

The problem is pro-EU low lives in Hellas, the world's biggest traitors. They are Western Europeans' puppets. They do only what Western European NWO orders them to do. They want people to believe NWO-EU false narrative that Southern Europeans are racially related to French and Northern Europeans to Germans. Not only they do not want to preserve Thracian heritage but would like it very much, if people in Greco-Thraco-Illyrian Region A2, entirely forgot about Thracians, like they never existed.
