I am getting the distinct impression non Greeks in the forum are likely more interested in the empire maintaining an affinity to Rome than its own subjects and propagandists. :p

That Greek and Bulgarian or Turkish nationalisms will be conflicting can be taken for granted. As is sooner or later conflicting interests with Russian imperialism. So what are the Greeks supposed to be doing? Anything north of the Olympus will be bringing a backlash.

Spain in 1928 was at roughly 70% Italy's per capita industrialization. Not very well versed at how the Spanish economy was doing interwar, but it seems to me it should still be lagging behind Italy in 1936. That said a Spain that avoids the civil war or have in end early will be a more...

Two engines placed one over the other? To wear my engineer hat I very much doubt this was helping much with ease of maintenance,not to say it was insane. Keep Lightning a test aircraft and produce something more practical. Fairey FD.2 for example...

In terms of economics to use Bairoch's tables on per-capita industrialization for lack of something better since the time of their publication, these are various European states in 1928 and 1938 and for comparison's shake also Italy. Year 1928 1938 Romania 11 11 Yugoslavia 15 18 Spain...

It's here https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/kick-and-ban-notices.470901/post-21343780 Unfortunate, he was making valuable contributions in the non-political threads and if it is some short of misunderstanding it can be hopefully straightened out/ he can explain himself, but...

That's Izdeliye 33. For the obvious comparison how does the price of JF-17 compare to that of MiG-29?

John Agorastos Platis would not approve... he was RAF. As for Martlets... when Greece bought PZL P.24 in OTL she was also offered Curtis P-36 at about the same price but in dollars instead of tobacco. Now TTL Greece is exporting quite a bit more tobacco to the US and imports rather less wheat so...

Rome, February 25th 1924 The naval conference to extend the principles of the Washington Naval treaty to all lesser naval powers had begun in Rome under the auspices of the League of Nations in February 15th. The Greeks and Italians had quietly taken advantage of the occasion to restore...

Berlin or Frankfurt? Can't recall where the capital is TTL...

For the same reason Turkey denies the genocide and actively propagandizes it did not happen to this day. There was direct continuity between the people that took part in the genocide in 1915-18 and the ones who decamped to Anatolia to continue the fight in 1919. And while Kemal himself may have...

The German capital is a logical option...

We are in 1919. If put to trial they'll be most likely sentenced to death and executed.

There was an autonomous Kurdish region as part of the Azerbaijan SSR in OTL. TTL it is part of the Armenian SSR. In OTL the region was disbanded in 1930 and most of the Kurds were deported to central Asia later in the decade. TTL with Turkey a monarchy likely to be perceived as hostile there is...

The Soviet Union is likely to be affected in some mild ways rather early on. For the obvious point Constantinople is a League of Nations territory with British (and French) units stationed right there and the Soviets were historically paranoid over lesser things. The 1926-27 war scare is...

Kemal's role in Turkish modernisation after 1922 is quite probably overblown. Or maybe not, that Turkey was an one party state for the next quarter century with an overblown role of the military in politics for the next century can be attributed directly to him. As for things like the change of...

Germany and Italy pretty much recruited locally as well, the names of the Italian divisions were not accidental.

We are of course still in 1924. But assuming there is a Caucasus front in the TTL WW2 (if it happens on schedule) and all other things are equal... I wouldn't be taking a Republic of Mahabad for granted. For one thing Iran will be affected earlier, at a minimum Reza shah had Kemal for a role...

Smyrna is closer to 30%, the Goodman paper has actually exact numbers in page 75. Smyrna produced 7,116t in 1922 out of total Turkish production of 22,700t and 7,479t in 1923 out of 26,105t. Interestingly enough 6,000t out of 7,100t in 1922 were exported to the United states. So closer to 30-40%...
