Had the Albos that went to die in the battle of Canakala, done it to protect their own kind in their homeland, we'd surly have more of what once was known as the Albanians land and by a very big chance they'd be mentioned in the history books. It is what it is. We are known to fight in wars that don't belong to us.
....or in the alternative the rest of us would have been absorbed in the independent Greek state like the Arvanitis and we'd be speaking Greek today.
Can't help it. I'm very pissed in the way the ethnicity of tens of thousands soldiers was ignored in two fresh movies i saw this year the one being Turk and the other Hollywood made. And being aware of the time the battle took place and the shape the Albanian lands were in we needed all the strength in men we could have gotten .
But in a geopolitical sense you couldn't be more right. As this was the battle between the Ottomans & Germans vs the Brits, French and the Kangaroos all in support of the Russian kingdom. Had the Turks lost that battle it would mean a stronger and bigger Greece.

They probably didn't ignore the Albanians fighting there so much as they just put them under the umbrella of being Ottomans which makes sense.
