Another possible breach of Greek copyright discovered!???

[Az]

I demand that the FFCOWW ( Former Finnish Conflict Of Winter War ) will be adressed by it's proper name!!!!!!!!111

[laurentius]

And I demand that FBPOP(Former British Protectorate Of Palestine) will be addressed by its proper name! FRPOI (Former Roman Province Of Iudea) is also valid. IN!Do It Now!)

[Az]

It's FRPOJ! with a J!

Btw, as the FRIPOF (Former Russian Imperial Province Of Finland ) rep, you shouldn't talk.

[laurentius]

Romans didnt make a difference between J and I! For them I was sufficient! screw the Middle-Aged J!

I would rather like to see my fatherland addressed as FPOSFE (Former Province Of Swedish-Finnish Empire)

Greece is not all mediterranean, you know. Parts that are secluded from the sea by high mountains have a continental climate, add that to the height at which it was fought and the period, it was a winter war alright. THE winter war.

You are making my point for me-- In the pictures that is a pathetic quantity of snow compared to what the Finns were dealing with. While I'm sure the mountaintops are quite cold, to appropriate a name like "THE winter war" that just doesn't cut it.

Maybe the Greeks could call theirs the "Secluded Mountain-Top more-than-a-few-hours-travel-from-warm-beaches war." Seriously, is any part of Greece more than a 100 miles from a beach??

More seriously, Greece is pretty much bisected by the 40th degree of Latitude which puts it on par with Madrid, Salt Lake city, Pittsburgh, northern California, Beijing or northern California. Some of those places are capable of severe winter weather but none of them can have a "Winter War" Like Finland. To be honest , to have the acclaim as THE Winter war I think that only countries i latitudes higher than 60 need apply

actually, (without wanting to spoil your fin-fun ) we dont call it "winter war"

The picture above is from a Greek site. And it clearly says that winter war is Greek-Italian. So it can't be Finnish no matter what Canadians say.

I hereby renounce the name "Belgium", as being a rip-off from the Belgae. Those where Celts whereas the current "Belgian" population is not.

Since a "Greek site" would be the foremost authority on how the Finns may refer to their war??

Your own pictures indicate that the Finnish war was FIRST so how did they copy a slightly later war ?? Did the Finnish war not have a name until after the Greek war was named ?
