    In geopolitical today's terms it seems the US has taken an acute interest in the mediteranean and wants to be sure that its allies control it.
    Which means that Russia doesn't control it.
    Which means that Greece stays in NATO.

    That means that in financial terms the US is Greece's staunchest overseas ally in debt reduction. (and generally staunchest ally)
    Germany squirms as it tries to emancipate but truth is that defense is primarily a US domain and its paying for it so the rest have to do what they're told.

    Remains the whole issue of that the hell greeks really want into which the answer is simple: a swedish like social state with the option of breaking plates on fests. Although more neoliberal elements are starting to make their apperance known..

    The whole thing is fascinating because it really isn't resolved yet

      He was trying to talk up the Greek resistance to the Axis invasion while the Greeks where losing badly and ultimately surrendered. British armored units arrived in Greece just as Greek resistance was failing thus resulting in much of the British North African Force (which had been transferred to Greece) getting captured because the Greeks packed it in.

      They were further wounded by reenforcing Crete while the Greek forces collapsed on that island as well. The allies would have been better served by ignoring Greece and simply using those forces to finish off Italy in North Africa before the Germans could create the Afrika Corp.

        BTW by "finishing off italy" you mean after Greece beat it right?
        Which was if I'm not mistaken the first reaction ever to nazi germany something that some president you had alluded to? “

        When the entire world had lost all hope, the Greek people dared to question the invincibility of the German monster raising against it the proud spirit of freedom"

        (or such excrement said by rosevelt)
