I see four opportunities for a Christian type of state. To do this you need a strong Christian population or a population with a decent percentage of Christians. So for this you have:
· Armenia (best post WW1 and if u can minimize the Genocide to give more population).
· Lebanon – as stated by everyone
· Egypt : IN 1927 you have a “declared” Christian population of 8.3% however the est are all over the board in today’s population from 5% - 10%.
o IN census of 1897 you have 13.2% “stated Christian population”
o See on Egypt below bullet points
· Georgia –
So I am going to take the Egypt situation:
1. 1897 census done – 13,2 % claim to be Christian (real number let’s say is 25% ( ok why I picked this number A. . lazy and 25% is round number (ha ha) B. I figure the 13.2% is hard Christians willing to be persecuted, so if in today we are at “official 6.7% but reports from the community say 23% then let’s assume a steady and accelerating decline (and leaving Egypt) of the Christian community from 23% to the 6 – 10 % of today.
2. Population of Egypt was 8 mm in 1900 (2 mm Christian). GB controls and the Armenian massacre get wider circulation in Europe.
3. At the end of WW1 and with the Americans deciding not to support an independent Armenia, the Brits do not want to see another massacre, so offer to transport a sizeable population transfer to other areas. Egypt becomes the prime destination.
4. At the end for WW1 GB determines they need a divided Egypt to better control the arear. They do a population transfer from various areas around the Middle East to bring in another 2 mm Christians from Assyria, Armenia, and Lebanon.
5. Egypt is split into two provinces. Northern Egypt with Alexandria down to Cairo being primarily Christians. From Cairo down is primarily Muslim.
6. During WW1 the Christians give strong support to the Brits.
7. When GB leaves Egypt in the 1950’s the Christians form their own country. With a Christian besieged mentality they complete the conquest of the rest of Egypt, and as allies with Israel win several wars.(similar to what Isr did). You end up with and integrated population with a Christian identity (Armenians have gone thru the Armenian Holocaust) vs a national identity.
8. Under a constant siege mentality you would end up with a primarily Christian population with a small rump Muslim Egypt or an expelled population (ala Palestinians).
9. You would have mostly Christians and at the same time a small “westernized “ Egyptian Muslim minority.
