When I have a chance, I'll check out the Greco-Turkish war.
I've never really done a timeline analysis of Greece. The civil war
appears to have been pretty brutal. So if the Greco-Turkish was was a
crisis war for Greece, then the civil war would have been an Awakening
era war, which doesn't seem likely given its brutality. In this case,
it really would have to have been driven by crisis era outsiders, but
there weren't too many of those around in 1946. Also in that case,
perhaps there was a first turning reset. These are all possibilities
that have to be checked out.
As for Tunisia, I concluded in 2011 that the last crisis war was the
Algerian war of independence that ended in 1962. However, figuring
out any of the African countries has always been a nightmare, since
there are few historical records available (in English).
