Both countries were completely fucked up by the late 1940s.
Both having equally sized populations and landmasses.
Both received about the same help by the 50s and after.
Both are spending a fuckton of money for their millitary because both have a neighbour which is a threat.
Yet, South Korea has a huge economy and Greece is absolute shit.
Why is that?
Dumb lazy people
Hmm
the weather. colder, shittier climates tend to produce a more productive set of people
Greece is a beautiful country where you can enjoy what life has to offer.
South Korea is another asian shithole where people either suicide or work their asses off to buy a bit of happiness in their miserable existence.
>equally sized populations and landmasses
Maybe the landmasses are the same but I'm pretty sure S.K has 5 times your population
One has a population of 50 million people, the other of 8
Also Korea is a strategical asset to the USA
Greeks were really hard working before the 50s. But it changed after the 70s-80s because that's what free money to the hands of corrupt politicians viewing their electorate as clients does.
SK was corrupt as fuck as well. What changed that situation?
Nikos kazantzakis worths entire korean.
lol what. I thought they had at least like 25mil people
Greece is irrelevant af
They always had more people, but not by That much.
Genuinely surprised that a non-Greek, especially someone from this far away, knows about him.
bunch of people do, he's one of the greatest writer after all
I especially love his travel journal.
...
at least koreans don't starve
Greeks don't starve either you retard. Our economy is shit, but it doesn't mean we are fucking Uganda. It just means that less people can afford the latest iphone.
Because they had japan next to korea.
You don't know how much Samsung and LG copied Japanese technology and how much money from Japan they get after the ww2. And much much we support them until now. Even at the time of Asian financial crisis.
Greece, if you were located next to Japan, and if you guys took what korea get from Japan, you guys were surely better than korea. So don't listen those gookorean says.
wasn't there something in the news about greek chicks having to prostitute themselves for bread during the height of the crisis? remember some banter floating around during that time
Bullshit news. This doesn't happen. If you go to a brothel here, almost every girl save one or two 50 year old hags is foreign (Ukranians and Romanians mostly).
It was false news written by some Greek American journalist that never even set foot in Europe, let alone Greece
Prositution market is dominated by Eastern Slavs and Middle Eastern women
Greek women have a huge as shit princess complex, they would not even work as housecleaner
Why no many greek restaurant in here
Souvlaki and gyro are god tier food
o, dunno. get all my foreign news from Sup Forums. you think i read or some shit
they sell themselves for a sandmich
it is that bad
He's right.

>With the Treaty, the agreements between Japan and Korea concerning the settlement of problems in regard to property and claims and economic cooperation was also signed. Japan provided South Korea with $300 million grant in economic aid and $200 million in loans together with $300 million in loans for private trust, a total of $800 million as "economic cooperation".[5]

>Randall S. Jones wrote that "economic development during the colonial period can be said to have laid the foundation for future growth in several respects."[81] According to Myung Soo Cha of Yeungnam University, "the South Korean developmental state, as symbolized by Park Chung Hee, a former officer of the Japanese Imperial army serving in wartime Manchuria, was closely modeled upon the colonial system of government. In short, South Korea grew on the shoulders of the colonial achievement, rather than emerging out of the ashes left by the Korean War, as is sometimes asserted."[82]
Also we had to give Korea industrial and tecnological support too, to make korea as heavey industrial nation. It's commandment of GHQ so that Japan can't make them like colony. Also make Japan less power in east Asia.
Also there was a lot of industrial spy from Korea in Japan. You would be surprised if you resurch how sumsung and LG copied Japanese tecnology and make business.
The prodact of them are just a mass mix of all of the Japanese technology with cheep price.
very clear example of nowadays is tech of flash memory Japan to Korea.
Actually, the elite high classed Japanese was very lefty faggots like Sweden.
And they think giveing technology for korea is makes Asia peace, Korea will forgive japan and can hold hand each other but all of those thought was totally wrong.
They make themselfs anti Japan hardcore like beggars.
Pls resurch those things by yourself.
That's would be interesting how korea developed by useing Japanese stupidity gentle character.
...
is that why japs in Sup Forums are so butthurt about korea? jesus christ grow a pair maybe if yall didn't went bat shit crazy and tried to be an empire none of this would have happen
Why Korean is tallest and blond hair? Why so narcissistic you zainichi?
America has American logic like that. Its your opinion and we respect.
ああああああやべーよ絵に描いたようなネトウヨ来ちゃったよwwww
pressure
i believe staring down a gun barrel keeps people in line to some extent, so even if they're corrupt (and south korean politicians are all corrupt, i think only one or two of their 10 presidents served the full term), the politicians won't go full retard
>he thinks anyone he doesn't like must be zainichi
this is why none of your words isn't worth hearing.
Korea is close to china and usa, the largest market in the world. But greece has no big market around.
I don't know greece but we fuck up 20c Because westernazation.
It's because of many reasons actually, but you have to account for the population, the aid south Korea received from USA that Greece didn't really have (at least not on the same level), and of course, asian genius. Also Korean industry>>>>Greek industry
Why ignore the effect from japan to korea like here mentioned.
It's actually biggest reason.
Sorry Sup Forums, please ignore the japanese flag in this thread.
Because I didn't know about it nippon-kun
The Mediterranean is dead...
nice quads
we have leftist government now. many people worry because the president is pointing at the wrong direction, ie the same direction Greece took. giving away free money isn't gonna make any nation wealthy and strong especially when all it has is human resources. So American capitalism model works better here and maybe in Greece too than European socialism model.
