How about if somehow Greece obtained Constantinople at some point in the 19th or early 20th century. What would Greece be like with this city and the city itself in Greece? First, could you have a border that would make sense and not cause trouble with jurisdiction and sovereinty and boundary issues? I mean the straits realy are rather narrow and how could you properly decide the territorial waters in the straits and Marmara for Greece and Turkey and not cause other legal issues. And the big guns that existed there and I don't know if they still have them, but they probably had to go.Could you leave the asiatic shores to Turkey and not have any problems or do you need to have the whole straits region with one country? How much richer would Greece be and also would they be able to have the patriarch recognized as an Orthodox pope again, as well as head of the Greek church. And probably there would still be an exchange of populations. I would like to see a map and boundaries and a plot about the political,economic evolution of such a Greece.
