How did the Greek War of Independence inspire nationalist movements and reshape European politics? This book explores the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829), a revolt by the Greek people against the Ottoman Empire. It discusses the social, political, and economic conditions that led to the uprising, as well as the role of key figures like Alexander Ypsilantis and Theodoros Kolokotronis. The narrative also covers the international dimension of the war, including the support of European powers such as Britain, France, and Russia, who intervened to help the Greeks. By analyzing the success of the rebellion and the creation of the modern Greek state, the book highlights how the war inspired other nationalist movements in the Balkans and beyond, and how it marked the beginning of the decline of the Ottoman Empire in Europe.
