Explain Greek war of independence.
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 6 years ago

• Greece had been part of the Ottoman Empire since the fifteenth century. 

• The growth of revolutionary nationalism in Europe sparked off a struggle for independence amongst the Greeks which began in 1821. 

• Nationalists in Greece got support from other Greeks living in exile and also from many West Europeans who had sympathies for ancient Greek culture. 

• Poets and artists lauded Greece as the cradle of European civilisation and mobilised public opinion to support its struggle against a Muslim empire. 

• The English poet Lord Byron organised funds and later went to fight in the war, where he died of fever in 1824. 

• Finally, the Treaty of Constantinople of 1832 recognised Greece as an independent nation.
