Part of
a series
on the
History of
Greece
The
Greek War of Independence
, also known as the
Greek Revolution
(
Greek
:
Ελληνική Επανάσταση
,
Elliniki Epanastasi
; referred to by
Greeks
in the 19th century as simply the Αγώνας,
Agonas
, "
Struggle
";
Ottoman
: يونان عصياني
Yunan İsyanı
, "
Greek Uprising
"), was a successful
war of independence
waged by Greek revolutionaries against the
Ottoman Empire
between 1821 and 1830. The Greeks were later assisted by
Great Britain
,
France
and
Russia
, while the Ottomans were aided by their North African vassals, particularly the
eyalet
of
Egypt
. The war led to the formation of
modern Greece
. The revolution is celebrated by Greeks around the world as
independence day
on 25 March.
Greece came under Ottoman rule in the 15th century, in the decades before and after the
fall of Constantinople
.
[2]
During the following centuries, there were sporadic but unsuccessful
Greek uprisings
against Ottoman rule.
[3]
In 1814, a secret organization called
Filiki Eteria
(Society of Friends) was founded with the aim of liberating Greece, encouraged by the
revolutionary
fervor gripping Europe in that period. The Filiki Eteria planned to launch revolts in the
Peloponnese
, the
Danubian Principalities
, and
Constantinople
itself. The insurrection was planned for 25 March 1821 (on the Julian Calendar), the Orthodox Christian
Feast of the Annunciation
. However, the plans of Filiki Eteria were discovered by the Ottoman authorities, forcing the revolution to start earlier. The first revolt began on 6 March/21 February 1821 in the
Danubian Principalities
, but it was soon put down by the Ottomans. The events in the north urged the Greeks in the Peloponnese (
Morea
) into action and on 17 March 1821, the
Maniots
were first to declare war. In September 1821, the Greeks under the leadership of
Theodoros Kolokotronis
captured
Tripolitsa
. Revolts in
Crete
,
Macedonia
, and
Central Greece
broke out, but were eventually suppressed. Meanwhile, makeshift Greek fleets achieved success against the
Ottoman navy
in the
Aegean Sea
and prevented Ottoman reinforcements from arriving by sea.
Tensions soon developed among different Greek factions, leading to two consecutive civil wars. The
Ottoman Sultan
called in his vassal
Muhammad Ali of Egypt
, who agreed to send his son
Ibrahim Pasha
to Greece with an army to suppress the revolt in return for territorial gains. Ibrahim landed in the Peloponnese in February 1825 and brought most of the peninsula under Egyptian control by the end of that year. The town of
Missolonghi
fell in April 1826 after a
year-long siege
by the Turks. Despite a
failed invasion of Mani
, Athens also fell and the revolution looked all but lost.
At that point, the three
Great powers
—Russia, Britain and France—decided to intervene, sending their naval squadrons to Greece in 1827. Following news that the combined Ottoman–Egyptian fleet was going to attack the island of
Hydra
, the allied European fleets intercepted the Ottoman navy at
Navarino
. After a tense week-long standoff, the
Battle of Navarino
led to the destruction of the Ottoman–Egyptian fleet and turned the tide in favor of the revolutionaries. In 1828 the Egyptian army withdrew under pressure of a
French expeditionary force
. The Ottoman garrisons in the Peloponnese surrendered, and the Greek revolutionaries proceeded to retake central Greece. Russia invaded the Ottoman Empire and forced it to accept Greek autonomy in the
Treaty of Adrianople (1829)
. After nine years of war, Greece was finally recognized as an independent state under the
London Protocol
of February 1830. Further negotiations in 1832 led to the
London Conference
and the
Treaty of Constantinople
; these defined the final borders of the new state and established
Prince Otto
of Bavaria as the first king of Greece.
