  1. What was Greece’s best chance to reclaim Constantinople?

    I don't think they wanted full annexation, but to shatter them for some time, take as much land as they could.

  2. What was Greece’s best chance to reclaim Constantinople?

    At that point Greece had kind of a victory disease, they had won Balkan war 1 and 2 and were on the Victor's side on ww1 their territory double and the ottomans were shattered, so they thought that now was a chance to defeat the Turks for good.

  3. What was Greece’s best chance to reclaim Constantinople?

    1) Of course Greece wouldn't attack Constaninople during the balkan wars, you are quite correct on that, i meant later during the 1919-1922 war when greece was given eastern thrace (treaty of serves) of course the city was under allied control during that time. 3) of course it does not mean it...

  4. What was Greece’s best chance to reclaim Constantinople?

    As I said before there are circumstances that it can happen in the 1912-1923 era. It is not asb, meaning you don't need a miracle device to make it happen, but it is unlikely. In a hunder possible earths, I would give 5 or 10 earths were Constaniple becomes Greek. For this to happen you need a...

  5. What was Greece’s best chance to reclaim Constantinople?

    It's only possible but not very likely in the 1919-1923 period. But even if Greece wins the war militarily (difficult but it can happen under the right circumstances) , the demographics in constantinople present a huge problem, not only the city is full of Turks but also Greece doesn't have...

  6. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    I think the only other ERE emperor that abdicated peacefully was Isaac I Komnenos in 1059, he got sick after a hunt and abdicated in favour of Doukas , not the wisest of decisions as history would show.

  7. WI: Byzantine restoration after 1800?

    Of course we call ourselves Hellenes, I was just saying that the term 'romios" still sees limited use and that most greeks will understand its meaning.

  8. WI: Byzantine restoration after 1800?

    We do use the term "Romios" singular or "Romioi" plural, there are many songs or texts that used the term, note that I am not saying it is widely used but most greeks will understand that romios means greek. A google search using the term will show results of artciles using the term even in...

  9. WI: Byzantine restoration after 1800?

    Nope we still do , not widely of course and mostly in rural areas, the term used is romios though instead of rhomeos.

  10. The Greeks

    Even now in songs and in texts the word' romios 'is used in greece as a synonym to greek, it is not widely used anymore, but it is a valid word.

  11. What would Byzantine be called if restored?

    Even in modern greece though it is not used as much another word we use for greeks is romios( singular) or romioi ( plural) Which is clearly derived from romans.

  12. Worst Roman Emperor?

    An unpopular opinion but I think the worst one was the first one , Octavian Augustus, I am maybe influenced by reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman but I think he set the trend for Rome's weakening.

  13. AHQ: Why not Corinth?

    Corinth cared mostly about its colonies , in fact one of the biggest reason the Pelloponesean war started was because of the war between Corinth and its colony Corcyra(Corfu). Corinth was wealthy and didn't really need to be leaders of a hegemony to shine in their particular "niche".

  14. Byzantine wank

    At that point the ERE was allready arguably the most powerful state in Europe and one of the top 3 in the world(Only Persia and China could compare) so if the ERE can avoid disasters they could dominate Europe and a big part of the world later.

  15. Challenge: Latin-speaking Greece

    If the Romans become intolerant of other cultures and languages , I suspect that their conquest will be far far more difficult to achive if at all. This could lead to the greeks unite against the common enemy just like they did against the Achaemenids, and this could make the Roman conquest of...

  16. WI: Latin empire survives?

    Even if you dislike the Byzantine empire the latin empire is one of the worst replacements for it,if you want a replacement empire to take over eastern med, Hungary or Bulgaria are far better choices.

  17. Modern Day Roman Empire?

    Even after Yarmouk though disastrous the ERE could have persevered, indeed it wasnt until the sack of Constantinple by the Crusaders that their position started to become untenable, until that point the empire had the resources and was arguably one of the most powerful states if not the most in...

  18. Romania in the Second Millennium

    Brilliant timeline really, always enjoy reading about a resurgent ERE, Though a reason why doesnt have more readers may be that the title is a bit misleading, i first thought that it was talking about the modern country with the same name and many byzantinophiles may have not understood what...

  19. Napoleon captures Tsar Alexander

    I doubt they would kill them though, they are worth far more as prisoners.

  20. WI: Hohenzollern Greece

    Well you can get one of them instead of otto for a king, but he would be hellenised i think.
