...Because at the moment, as far as I can see, without support the ottomans are all but beaten, if Britain joins now on the russian side thier success is certain, whereas is if Britain joins on the ottoman's side, well, let's just say it will become less certain. Considering there is doubts that the Ottomans will keep fighting on it's own next turn, Britain is making the choice now. If you and russia do not abandon any plans of dividing the balkans between yourselves Britain will join the Ottomans. The Byzantium plan is merely a compromise and if it is agreed to you can keep britain from joining the ottomans and have the balkans become ruled by a christian state.
My apologies that I could not find a map that showed the desired boundaries that didn't include thier dominion over greece, Britain has no intention to push the kindom of greece into a new byzantium empire.In principle we have no objection to 'New Byzantium' proposed by England. We note though that the map supplied by England would include the territory of the King of Greece... It may be that he may object one might think. There could be future Byzantine claims that may similarly disputed.
