Heck, they couldn't even beat some poorly trained Greeks in WWII! The Greeks in WWII were trained by the British Army.Now how that is a poor training? |

Oh, before or after the Germans took over Greece. :)
The only ones holding the Germans back were the Britts.

Besides, it's kinda pathetic that the greeks got their butt kicked by the turks in 1920, when a handful of arabs (poor fighters) easily kicked them out of the mideast.
Without France, Great Britain and Russia you greeks would never have gotten your independance. That's a fact. |

| All I know is that they switched from the Central Powers to the Allies. The war still had a devestating impact on the entire country, however. |

To be fair, they were trained and led by the British as well under Colonel TE Lawrence.... |

Italy has had a very small effect in the World Wars it was in.
That's not true, when the Italians f****d up the invasion of Greece and the Balkans, the Germans had to divert resources set aside for Operation Barbarossa and delay the invasion of the USSR until June 1941, to late to allow the Germans to take Moscow before the onset of winter. Mussolini did a lot for the allied war effort....
Nope, according to the most recent research, the impact of the Balkan campaign on barbarossa was minimum: the Invasion of Yugoslavia was pre planned, moreover there was an heavy rain spring in the USSR and the mud didn’t disappeared until June, an early barbarossa was impossible

Sorry but you’re confusing WWI with WWII, read my previous post perhaps you could learn something and BTW Turks aren’t Arabs |
