Germany at the end of WWII was probably the most comprehensively defeated nation-state in modern times, and was kept partially alive only by the benevolence of its conquerors. Even Japan emerged with more of its pre-war elan intact.



So if someone took Greece from its shitty state today to a power that was able to take on all of Europe, Russia, and America combined within 10 or so years, that wouldn't be an act of leadership of note?


He fricked up towards the end.

(Thankfully)


That doesn't diminish what he did.

There is no valid comparison between modern Greece and 20th century Germany. Germany was a European power before Hitler and became one again after the country was rebuilt.
