(It's my first thread so I'm not sure how things work around here, and this topic spreads across both the 19th and early 20th centuries so I don't know where to post it )
So I just read about the Megali idea, Wikipedia said that it had "the goal of establishing a Greek state that would encompass all ethnic Greek-inhabited areas, including the regions that traditionally belonged to Greeks in ancient times (the Southern Balkans, Anatolia and Cyprus)."
This is a really cool neo-byzantine idea, but was it possible without genocide? I know there was a large Greek minority in western Anatolia but I think it was mainly on the coast and the inland was very Turkish still.
So, possible? and to what extent? I think that the Anatolian coast on the Aegean might be possible.
