>>
>>18254348

>>
Shit logistics

>we wont give Constantinople to Greece because it would make them too powerful
>omg yes Mr. Türk man we just fought a war against here you go your city nice and ready do with it as you wish!
Can somebody explain Anglo foreign policy to me?
>>
>>18254348
They became too greedy and wanted to take everything, instead of securing down and fortifying their gains along the coast

1. The population of greece is way smaller than turkey. It was only a matter of time before they brought that into account.

2. The turks were much better united and had a more proffensionsal better equipped army.

3. Also, the british gave instabul back to the turks bc it had a HUGE population of Muslims and they couldn't give that to the greeks. And the turks agreed to be neutral and keep the straits opened at all costs.

There are more Turks in Istanbul alone than there are Greeks on Earth.

Why did Greece NEED to own Western Turkey?

This board is so low IQ, ironically with no sense of time.
During the Greek-Turdish war the populations were about equal at around 8 million people each.

Greece was high on sucking Russian dick probably. Also the city was majority Turkish at this point, Also Turks had a standon army at that point while Greeks had nothing and Anglos didn't want white men to die for wog a shithole. Originalyly they wanted to keep it as a British colony.

>>18254383
Everyone was exhausted after WW1 and didn't have the stomach for another drawn-out war except for the ones who still had skin in the fight (Greeks and Turks), the Anglos just followed after France and Italy's example of pulling out when things got too spicy.

Blame allies aggressor and Ven*zelists

>>18254419
Greece at the time was under British influence.
>>18254409
3 millenias of active presence, at the start of 20th century Greeks in total outnumbered Turks in west Turkey (outside of Constantinople).
>>18254348
Italians,French,Russians and Germans armed Turks.. Also anglos didn't help the greeks in any way, they just used them as proxy. Turks had little morale after Greece's early string of victories and without outside support they would've crumbled. Just another case of western europeans showing their preference for turkish penis.

Indeed, Noemvriana was disaster of the Greek people.

>>18254348
Greeks were fucking losers who got routed despite having make numbers and equipment

>>18254409
Historically Greek lands

>>18254348
they could not consult their own maps that outlined the plans because they were maps for ants.

>>18254410
True, turks won because they're better generals and warriors than greeks
