Compare Rhodos under the centuries of Ottoman rule with the thrity years of Italian rule. The Italians did more for the island in thirty years than the Ottomans ever did. The same goes for the rest of the Dodecanese islands. The difference is not found in the wealth of each colonial power, but more in its creativity and its concept of its own role towards their subjects.

And the Orthodox Church in Rhodes did just fine under the Italians.



I know that. Tell the likes of Piratis who continually refers to his magic numbers of slaughtered.


He always backs up his statements with reliable statistics and links...
