On July 12th one thousand five hundred forty-two Charles V,
                                                    [Holy Roman Emperor, declares war on King Francis I of France.

This time King Henry VIII of England becomes an ally of the Emperor, while Francis I forms                                [Turkish-French troops, for us a mixture of branles de Champagne and belly dance,
a lethal Aconite-Arsenic cocktail for enslaved southern peoples,
           [who expect the French Christians to liberate them (daydream, illusion, religious trance ?

Specifically, all the Balkan peoples waited for 400 years
                                                     [to unite Christians of the north sometime, in some circumstance,
and thereby expel the Ottoman Turks (or Osmanlı Turks)

                                                                                        [from the European territories of Christians.

During four centuries enslaved Christians in south wondered about the attitude of the north.
                                              [and were made to feel as followers of another religion, as pagans,
until October 20, 1827, when Allied forces from England, France and Russia
                                                                         [decisively defeated Ottoman and Egyptian forces,
and the next year a Russian army of 100,000 men commanded by tsar Nicholas I
               [invaded Turkey and after several defeats, the liberation of Greece forcibly enforces.
