      Nah no need to. I don't expect people from the other side of the world to be highly knowledgeable of everything going on here. In fact most people here aren't even that knowledgeable lol.

      But yeah it was definitely super weird. Greece only became independent thanks to it serving the interests of the 3 "Great Powers", France, Britain and Russia. So throughout its early modern history it was dependent on them. Meanwhile they were competing with each other which translated into lots of shit flinging and unrest in Greece because that's what happens when 3 different countries are competing for influence. So every now and then they were like "OK shit is getting weird here, here, have a new king appointed by us".
