>>8361414>Ever heard of Austro-Hungarian Empire?Only the Austrian part was rich.
>You guys were and are a balkan Turk tier shithole until the west started aiding you to balance against Turkey. Before independence: of course. But because we were ruled by kebabs. After independence: no. We had difficulties at first, but we developed our industry (manufacturing, shipbuilding, heavy industries) by the 1860s to early 1870s, only 30 years after we got independent. And our GDP per capita was already high for a small country back then. And the only one geographically in Eastern Europe that approximated the West in terms of wealth. In 1880, Greek GDP per capita was at 75-80% of that of the UK and 85% at that of France. In 1920, that was corresponding at 85% and 90% respectively. In 1979, before we joined, our GDP was the same as that of all western European countries. So no, were not a shithole.
>They pumped billions into your economy and you still only has tourism, couldn't use the headstart.The money was pumped into the Greek politicians' pockets. Not the economy. And the EU fucked up our true industry, because the Germans invasively entered the Greek market and made the prices of their goods cheaper than those of Greeks, even though both were of the same quality (and Greek products were of better quality). Let that sink in: the industrial sector produced 35% of our GDP in 1981. And that figure was 35-40% industrial output was the same from 1920. Today, it's less than 20%. Why? "Because the competitiveness of other countries has to be improved". Yes, at the dear expense of others...
>Sorry but you proved to be niggers. Even your IQ is the lowest in the EU with the average of 92!It's 101,3-103 IQ points. You literally fall for Lynn's meme maps? This man bases his research on economic factors and PISA studies. Not IQ tests, which is the real tool for measuring IQ. Pic related, the only true study about IQ.
Yes, but the Austrian part was rich. You were not.
