ottoman

:RW That may be true but they didnt fight the turks when the english asked them to they waited for the empire to collapse turkey to surrender and then came in thanks to the english invitation the turks built an army poorly trained and poorly equiped got rid of internal problems and later the greeks against all the odds were as in the greek independancde war and most wars between the turks and the greeks the greeks have had better allies and lets face it nobody likes the turks not the arabs not europe not asia not anyone due to the history of nomadic warfare from mongolia all the way to anatolia not a very good way to win many buddys. so the odds were strongly against the turks many turks thought that a british mandate was the best way out by 1918 and would have excepted it if the greeks didnt begin killing and raping innocent civilians after they did that "independane or death" became the slogan. look at american history independance is a great incentive.
