1861: Rebuilding the Glory of Rome

As shown in the picture

Good, I saw another book on Modern Greece, I hope the author will stop being a fan 🙂

I came across a masterpiece of foreign history by chance. The foreign history of the starting point is not as stupid as before. It is really good. Whether it is internal industrialization or diplomacy about geopolitics, it is well written. Diplomacy is also more realistic and far-sighted, and it is not ignored by the big powers. The kind of game-like expansion I feel it, with some suggestions, hoping to help the author as a reference 1. Regarding the connection between Greek culture and Western civilization, the protagonist can write more about the unique origin narrative of Western culture through Greece. The impact of tourism on Greece, such as foreigners' thoughts on the development and transformation of Greek life, etc. Based on this special cultural background, Greece mediates among the great powers and jointly develops the country's industry and expansion. Of course, the author writes about diplomacy It's pretty good, there's no lion's mouth, it's in line with the reality of strategic deductions in the 19th century 2. Sometimes readers don't pay much attention to too much actual data, such as certain parameters of ships. As long as they don't write randomly, it's consistent with reality. That's fine You can mainly write about the differences that the development of modern industrialization has brought to Greece, the collision and transformation of ancient and modern thoughts, the lives of small people from all walks of life, etc. This way you can write more emotionally and convincingly, and you can also avoid having nothing to write about other than diplomacy and military affairs. The embarrassment Third, we can pay more attention to the collision of various doctrines and ideas in the 19th century, that era of great contention. With the popularity of literacy, the mass ideological movement of a hundred schools of thought contend Of course, for those of us who are domestic readers, Readers can also bring in some Eastern parts, such as cultivating revolution, Far Eastern interests, etc. Of course, it depends on the author's consideration. After all, it is really difficult to evaluate the limits of the starting point review The above points are my little suggestions. After all, foreign history is really It's so unpopular, and every sign is worth caring for. I hope the author can work harder. Those who subscribe to foreign history generally don't be stingy with the subscription fee. If you want to make more income, you can work on more updates. As long as what you say is meaningful, everyone will generally be willing to subscribe Come on, come on! Great writing, Cai!

Greece basically has no possibility of hegemony. It would be unbelievable to win the Balkans and Anatolia in the end.

In 1861, 9 million Greeks was an exaggeration. If you were to write that there were more than one million Greeks in Greece and three or four million Greeks in the surrounding areas (those with Greek ancestry or speaking Greek and easy to assimilate), I wouldn't say anything. In total, the number of assimilated Greeks was over five to six million. After expansion and other ethnic groups were included, there were seven or eight million. Isn't this much better than just writing about more than nine million Greeks? Moreover, this process, such as encouraging childbearing, intermarriage, assimilation, cultural unification, etc., Can attract a lot of attention.

Greece feels like it can't do without the use of black technology! In my impression, the small people in Greece have no mines and are very poor. Their national character is not yet martial. They are surrounded by people who are better than they can fight. In modern times, they have not won any war on their own. If they had not led the British to protect them, they would have been destroyed eight hundred times! Oh! It seems that the Greek navy is not bad, and the Fenqingzui cannon is very powerful! The girl is beautiful too!

As we all know, Modern Greek (Vulgar Greek) has an extremely phonological system, with only five vowels (/i, u, e, o, a/), and the consonants are also changed so much that even mom doesn't recognize them (like my β pronouncing /v/, and θ, φ, χ pronounced /θ, φ, x/). The literacy rate in modern Greece is already hopeless, but there is still hope in this article. It is naturally impossible to restore ancient Greek, but it is possible to restore some phonemic opposition and make Greek sound more "elegant". The plan I gave is this: 1.η [ɛ] ≠ ι [I] ≠ ει [e] ≠ οι [oi] (in modern Greek they are pronounced uniformly [i]); 2.β [B] ≠ ϝ [v]. (Restore an obsolete letter to distinguish the native /b/ from the loanword /v/, which is confused in modern Greek); 3.θ = [Tʰ], φ = [pʰ], χ = [kʰ] (the mint fricative should have been sidelined long ago). For grammar issues, I suggest using the French model: restoring some difficult grammar in written language, such as middle dynamic, vocative case, second past tense, second perfect tense, subjunctive mood, gender and number case coordination, etc. (The first two have not completely disappeared, but have been weakened) and gradually penetrated into spoken language. In this way, the Greek language can be transformed into less pheasant, and it can be quickly promoted. As for promotion, my suggestion is to start with the government and the military, and with the help of the church (the language used by the church is more ancient), and then teach in schools when compulsory education is rolled out. Grammar reform is carried out in stages: 1. Completely restore the vocative case; 2. Reintroduce the middle dynamic in written language; 3. Restore classical tense, voice, coordination and other elements in formal style The degree of pheasant in modern Greek is incredible, I hope this will not be the case in novels.

I just thought the writing was a bit poor at first, but I still wanted to continue reading the story, but when I saw Chapter 61, where I signed a diplomatic treaty with faded ink to deceive Nasan, I couldn't stand it anymore. There were ten thousand better ways, such as waiting for Nasan to be crushed, not recognizing the Republic, and therefore not fulfilling the contract. I don't know what the author was thinking when he wrote this, taking national affairs as a trivial matter. This is a historic district!

To what position does the author want to elevate Greece? Mediterranean countries cannot monopolize at least one of the Mediterranean exports of Gibraltar or Suez. First-class countries are the top countries, and hegemons cannot even think about it. During this period, Britain had become the world's unipolar hegemon and would not be able to give up until the end of World War II.

Obviously, after the reunification of Germany and Italy until 1900, it was a strange period of general peace in the European continent. There was no war. How could Italy dare to attack? And what benefit will conquering Albania bring to Italy at present? Instead of focusing on the Italian region of Austria-Hungary, focus on the Balkans?

I knew that every Greek author was always against the grain. I advised him to finish it as early as possible. The author said that I would be able to write even if I didn't work full time, but how could it be possible? Why do you always think you are the special one? Wasn't that the case with the previous Greek authors? When the Greek text should be skipped, the time should be skipped. There is nothing to write in the Greek text, and it is water every day. In 1986, there was a 20-year truce. After World War I, there was another 20-year truce. Why should we be seeking war every day for 20 years? And why is Italy going to fight Greece now? Italy has only been unified for a short time. It is obviously still digesting the integration and attacking like a madman. Why is it not afraid that the country will split again? The author is so frustrated that Italy only launched major foreign attacks after 1910. At that time, Italy basically integrated the country and its strength increased before asking for colonial expansion. Now Italy is obviously still in the atmosphere of unifying the country and has initially digested it.

Not many people wrote about modern Greece

Historical novels are useless without a map.

It is actually not difficult to break the game if Greece has really traveled through time What are the advantages of Greece? It lies in its orthodoxy and civilization. It is half a cultural victory at the beginning, and the great powers like it. Therefore, the way to break the situation is very simple - encourage the Bulgarians, Serbs and Turks to rebuild the empire one by one, wait until they really believe it and start challenging the great powers, then stand with the great powers and secretly cut off their land after the war is over. Take great ideals as an example. After World War I, the British helped capture the castle and turned it into a neutral zone. As long as Greece did more work for the British, it would have no difficulty in transforming the castle just like Poland did with Danzig. Then go jump on the local chicken's face, don't worry about the old war madmen left by the Ottomans not to stand on the axis in World War II, and wait until the British father comes back in 1944 to cut another round of local chickens. Wouldn't the great ideal be achieved without a bloody battle? You can even change the country's name and return to Rome. On the contrary, actually fighting an industrialized war is the last thing Greece should do. Firstly, the Greeks have never been good at fighting. Secondly, Greece is resource-poor. Thirdly, fighting in a muddy mess in the Balkans can easily destroy its original strengths and international support.

Against the Heavens

No matter how it develops, Greece will only be the hegemon of the Mediterranean and cannot become a superpower in the world. If we write about Spain, it is possible for Greece to become a superpower. It is impossible for Greece.

Greece is too difficult. It can support the hegemony of the Balkans. If you want to be a world-class hegemon, population and land are restrictions. It is far inferior to the start of Defao.

Those who are not foreign but not native are the most uncomfortable

The author has forgotten the huge investment in the United States

I thought they were Ottoman Romans, but I didn't expect them to be Greeks who can't even be considered Pseudo-Romans.

Greece's annual growth rate from 1880 to 1895 was 1.25%. It plummeted to 0.69% From 1895 to 1904. It was fine some time ago, but why did it plummet in the next period? It is really outrageous to prevent the Greek population from increasing so early. Germany from 1880 to 1895, the annual growth rate was 1.03%. From 1895 to 1904 it was 1.37%. Russia from 1880 to 1895, the annual growth rate was 1.33%. From 1895 to 1904 it was 1.20%.

How does Greece now compare to the same period in history? The territory's population should have doubled or tripled.

Historically, Greece knew that it would launch the First Balkan War only after the Russo-Japanese War. Did the author write this novel to express hatred for Greece? In the first Balkan War in history, Germany did not send troops. In this world line, how could Germany dare to send troops directly? German synthetic nitrogen technology has not appeared and been applied. The last Greek-Italian war was when Italy went against the will of heaven and launched a war against Greece. It failed in the end. Italy had nothing to do. Then the world continued to be the same, but this time the German team directly sent troops.

Only one chapter is updated every day, it's too small

Before the nation-state was established, it began to serve as a beacon of freedom.

From the coup of 1861 to 1930. Are you 90 years old?

Brother, hold on, don't cut it

The second industrial revolution, authoritarian government, and planned economy are three-pronged approaches that will make it possible to complete the Renaissance of Rome. The difficulty is equivalent to the two-in-one German and Soviet copies.

How big is Greece now? How many people are there? Is there a map?
