Small landholdings were of course a problem economically wise but a great thing politically wise, given the class of small freeholders it created. That said TTL you do have relatively fewer refugees but a considerably greater proportion of them are farmers, Smyrna for the obvious one is still...

Article 48 of the 1911 constitution. "the Greek crown can never coincide with that of another realm upon the same person"

Lets note here that no one has gone to war with the empire. Spain and allies are intervening into north Italy at the moment, there aren't even any Greek troops there. Even if it did come out to all out war which it's not, good luck to the coalition threatening core imperial territory. What they...

Well, the logical answer is that Northern Italy is not worth a war, but the Greek patriot in me still thought when reading it "if they want a second round they damn well can have one" :P Oh and of course Sicily delendam est. If they think they can hide behind legalisms... it is the despotate...

In the League state of Constantinople. The Galipoli peninsula is in Greek Thrace of course, the Kallipoli prefecture.

That's my own notes, I haven't mapped out Greek administrative divisions in Asia Minor so far. Macedonia was divided into 6 prefectures in 1920 (Thessaloniki, Pella, Kozani, Florina, Drama-Kavala and Serres) while Thrace in 1920 was divided into six more (Rhodope, Evros, Adrianople, Kallipoli...

The obvious TTL difference is that in effect you have no refugees settled south of the Olympus. No 300,000 destitute refugees in Attica for example. Heavy concentrations in Macedonia remain, though hardly to the extend of OTL and large numbers of refugees are also settled in Ionia and Thrace...

Technically this is covered article 45 of the 1911 constitution that said that the throne goes to the legitimate recognized descendants of George I by right of primogeniture and a preference for the male descendants. Now Alexander's marriage with Aspasia technically was not recognized, it was a...

I think there is an argument to be made here for F-17 growing to F-18. The USN opted for a F-17 derivative in May 1975. The USAF had made their own choice in January. No particular reason the USAF would be against a more capable aircraft when it can be hidden behind a claim of commonality with...

As I've argued in the past if someone wrote that kind of event here, there would be concerted cries that it was ASB. Reality isn't obliged to be plausible. Or think of it that if there is a multiverse we are living in a low probability branch. :) Alexander's memory will have two big things...

Ok something from my Imperator Maximus TL back in 2006... :angel: Surenism: Major religion, named after it's founder Suren in the 10th century AD. Surenism largely descends from Zoroastrianism, incorporating strong Christian, Buddhist and Hinduist elements. Encyclopedia Italica, 29th edition...

F-18 conquers many. You are essentially looking at OTLs F-18L when the development completes. Better radar, ability to fire Sparrow, about as manoeuvrable in the land version. On the other hand likely to be entering service 3-4 years later than F-16 and costlier? Canada and Australia go for it...

He's the head of state of an independent country not the local mayor.

Munich, November 15th, 1923 Adolf Hitler would later claim he had been inspired by Mustafa Kemal and Benito Mussolini in his attempt to seize power. Unlike them his coup attempt had ended in a prison cell as the Bavarian state government instead of meekly submitting to the coup attempt had...

Greece has about the same GDP and 10 million people with 13 frigates and 11 SSK. Granted two thirds of that are Type 209s and S class frigates dating to 1980, that are likely being replaced by fewer ships (2 Type 214, 4 MMCS and 2-4 FFG (X) afterwards, plus EPC to replace both missile boats and...

So will there be any of the OTL stupidity of "we don't need more troops really" by Dugout Doug? The Greeks in OTL for example had prepared to send an infantry brigade, then it was reduced to an reinforced battalion.

An obvious TTL question is what happens to the 1856 hat-i humayun which in OTL largely came from French and British pressure for their support in the Crimean war, if Britain is otherwise occupied and France off the picture...

I believe you are looking at "The Great Method of Calculation according to the Indians" written by Maximos Planoudes sometime in the late 13th century.

This depends on who holds the Kalambaka-Grevena-Metsovo triangle. If any of it has fallen to the allies, the German position in Epirus is untenable unless they can take Albania. You can't supply anything much beyond a brigade or so from Konitsa even if you forget allied air superiority and that...

Seems to be the line on the map goes south along the Acheloos river to the sea? Doesn't seem a very practical proposition to me. It is surrounded on all sides and adds 100 km or so to the German line for no real practical purpose, what's the reason to stick to western Aetolia and Acarnania? They...
