Greek War of Independence

In the early 19th century, a nation's cry for freedom echoed across the Aegean Sea. Greece, the cradle of Western civilization, had long suffered under Ottoman rule. But on March 25, 1821, the Greeks rose up against their oppressors, igniting a fierce struggle for independence. This war would capture the imagination of Europe and inspire a generation of romantics and revolutionaries. From the mountains of Peloponnese to the islands of the Archipelago, brave men and women fought with unwavering determination. Their cause drew support from philhellenes across the continent, including Lord Byron and other notable figures. The Greek War of Independence was a pivotal moment in European history, reshaping borders and inspiring other subjugated peoples to seek their own freedom.
