Out of the three countries listed, I only really like one of them (unsure about Romania) so I'll go with Greece.

Why? The conservatives took power then (effectively replacing the fascists.) but then lost it not too long after. They stuck around for longer in the other two.

I don't base whether or not I like an area on which party/ideology is in power.

France could be dominated by "conservatives" for the rest of history and I still wouldn't even be luke warm towards the country. As for Romania, for some reason I have a feeling that I'd kind of like it there but I'm typically not a fan of Eastern Europe.

By the way, they are very pro-French and are one of France's greatest friends in Eastern Europe. And probably more people know French than English.

Romania or Greece? I'm guessing you mean Romania.

France '68, easily. The closes thing to a revolutionary situation any Western country has come since the interwar period.

All would be interesting.  I'd love to have lived in France back in the first few decades of the 20th century, particularly the 1920s/30s.  You can probably guess why.

     France in 1968, since it would be nice to have a great man like Charles de Gaulle as President, even if only for a year or so.
