this is an extreme win/win upgrade for every country involved. denmark: gets some sun and warm waters norway and sweden: gets rid of denmark and gets good greek food close by greece: gets away from the balkans and into the "we can do a budget" territory of northern-europe turkey: greece goes away

would an entry into the black sea that large change its strategic position? could these non-dardanelles be held in ancient and medieval times and from which grow wealthy?

Grimson posted:turkey: greece goes away Not quite. They're still saddled with Greece next door, and even worse, they have an East Pakistan / West Pakistan issue now, with their economic capital is now like 2500 km and disconnected from their political capital except by an exceptionally long water route. E: Unless Istanbul was given to the Dutch, as appears may be the case. Truly a compromise everyone can agree on.

I'm from the red area and so I was always taught H and B instead of B and B♭, but of course there's plenty of notation and chords around using the latter system, which makes B annoying cause it could mean 2 things. Therefore to be extra clear I always write H and B♭ whenever I write chords for my bandmates etc. to make them both instantly obvious and to avoid B.

My first thought was "what the hell do you do when you're not in C Major", and now I have learned that Fixed Do is a thing. And then you get into the chromatic variants where ra is re flat but le is la flat. My head hurts. Te do fa do re fa me re te.

MeinPanzer posted:East Asia with the obviously correct take there. Iirc China also has its own scale which is pentatonic. Using that instead of european octaves is how old timey cinema made the "we're in the Mysterious Orient now, boys" musical riff so obvious even to people with no knowledge of music. The brain accustomed to european music notices the notes are pitched differently even if the person doesn't know why.

i say swears online posted:caught this at the end of an article today Even with the amelioration of the financial crisis in Greece, this continues to be a live-wire issue there, but one that rarely gets covered elsewhere. A few years back I visited the memorial and museum at Kalavryta in the Peloponnese, both of which are dedicated to the massacre that occurred in that town (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalavryta_massacre). The museum ends with a room making the case for Germany paying reparations to Greece, and a local woman who gave us a tour of part of the museum broke into tears at the end when she recounted the impact the German occupation had. Greece's treatment at the hands of the Germans in WWII wasn't exactly unique in Europe, but the Greeks had a really rough go of things between the occupation in WWII and its seamless transition into the civil war that followed, and they didn't really get much in the way of help afterwards.

The cold war realpolitik necessities of the mid/late 40s to bring the FDR/DDR back functioning as client states for the US and USSR unfortunately allowed the Germans to avoid fully paying for the damage they did to Europe. In a better world relations between the US and USSR would have stayed friendly after the war and the Germans would have spent a decade or more working to pay back the rest of Europe.

Well, forcing Germany to spend a decade or more working to pay back the rest of Europe certainly worked out well after WW1. Not sure what could go wrong if we did it again.
