He will survive to 1821 to begin with? This presupposes that even if he sits tight during the 100 days, the Austrians and British do not invade anyway, to try to restore Ferdinand IV. Which is hardly a given, Murat went to war in the first place because it looked like he was going to be deposed...

The church for the past several decades has also been to put it bluntly corrupt to a degree it is not even funny and in the pockets of the French crown (and its Anjou branches) which is why relations with Sicily were affected by such doctrinal religious issues like Syracuse refusing to pay...

It won. It's the official church doctrine.

What exactly are you trying to prove? Yes on paper he is the first among equals and the Orthodox church is more democratic than the catholic. He is also the leading priest of the entire orthodox world period with immense influence and respect stemming from that.

This world has had large scale industrial war with tanks, aircraft, heave artillery and poison gas on a WW1 scale already in North America. These are not 1914 armies that go to war.

should someone mention this France attack with the largest tank and air force on Earth? General Estienne says hello. Just saying. :angel:

Likely not. OTL the last synod over hesychasm was in 1368 although supporters of anti-hesychasm existed into 1400 or so. Here the synod did not take place and anti-hesychasm is far stronger of course...

Greece doesn't NEED a strategic arsenal in the first place. If you are postulating a nuclear Greece, it has gone nuclear to counter what?

For comparisons shake Israel developed nuclear weapons between 1957 and 1967. It's GDP in 1967 was $4.03 billion. While we have no idea how much the program cost we know the Dimona reactor had cost $80 million so the entire program likely cost less than half a billion. By comparison OTL Greece...

There was a strong undercurrent of Bavarian separatism at the time and apparently even stronger monarchism. This in turn though was apparently regional also within Bavaria. The Bayern Partei might have been polling 20.9% in 1949 for example but support varied heavily between Old Bavaria on one...

Besides that, how many have ended up married with Greeks after several years in Greece. That's still about 2 to 3 decades into the future and dependent on politics a fair bit. But TTL Greece is liable to have a nominal GDP... 3 to 4 times higher than OTL hence investment on a civilian nuclear...

Hmm. What are the U-boats supposed to be doing here? Not hunt down the Danish submarines for certain hunter-killer boats are about 4 decades in the future...
