>so Russia is referred to as the "motherland" right?
only in english
in russian, the country would be otechestvo, which has roots from the same word as father, or rodina, meaning birthplace
>>440595
and in fact otechenstvo would be the one you would most commonly use in a pathetic/poetic way
Uusally every language has such a word so I fail to see the point here.
Another self bump
>>440384
Russians don't actually refer to their country as the motherland but nice shitposting.

Thanks, I try my best

>rodina, meaning birthplace
>Rodina. Matriarchy. Kin of wife.
Cool, cool.
Russians call it fatherland (Oтeчecтвo), motherland is some kind of retarded Anglo construct.

your OP is a child-tier theory that you probably thought up when you were bored in class and thought it was really deep. its not. leave this site and wait a few years until you old enough to come back here. in the meantime read books on european history and see why your idea is retarded

Seeing as how both Germany and Russia refer to themselves "Fatherland" (like majority of the countries), I'd say they are more of an abusive gay couple and Europe is the adopted child.

What county doesn't refer itself as the mother/fatherland? It just means this, the place you were born.

To be fair that map says "WW2 in 1945"
But its still American as fuck, those borders are completely wrong, at least as far as czechoslovakia is concerned.

It doesn't make sense anyway. The "battle sites" are from 1942,1943 and 1944 and the map is pre-1938 with independent Austria. The legend itself doesn't mention Eastern Front until the very end.

>, at least as far as czechoslovakia is concerned.
no? the borders are spot on - they are prewar borders for reference

At the time Slovakia was separated and we didn't have Sudetenland, but i would be able to accept that they are basing it on 39' map. What i can't accept is that it labels us as Axis.
Slovakia was axis at best, but we were fucking first victim of Hitler. We wanted to fight but we were literally told by all the great powers to lay down our arms and surrender.
Also Turkey is Allies now.
The map is a disaster, and it looks like it was made by US Military Academy, so my views on American education are confirmed once again.
Pretty sure all countries have an equivalent of "fatherland" except England. Look up patria or patrie.

Turkish uses "motherland".
It uses "father" for the state tho.
>>440384
This is a shit thread.
Russians say mother homeland, not motherland.
>>440595
What aboud Rodina-Mat'?

"Father State" is a very old slang that is almost never used today. It was the Turkish version of "Uncle Sam".
so Germany is basically Brendan Fraser the country?

>WORLD WAR 1 AND 2 WERE THE CUSTODY BATTLES!!
Custody over the falling Ottoman Empire, and by the way, the Jews won.

Africa is called the Motherland too, and not just for Black Americans.
