The Greek Revolution of 1821 is inscribed in national history as an event concerning the Greek nation's pursuit of independence, but at the same time, it is also an event in European history. The purpose of this book is to explore the role of the Great Powers in the outbreak and evolution of the Revolution. European assistance was necessary for its completion, but without the initiative of the Greeks themselves, the Battle of Navarino would not have occurred. The Revolution of 1821 had consequences not only for the Greeks but was one of the events that led to the fragmentation of the Europe of the Holy Alliance, which had prevailed after Napoleon's defeat and the Congress of Vienna in 1815. A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE SERIES The Greek Revolution is justifiably ranked among the great revolutions that marked the era of Modernity. The completion of two hundred years since its outbreak has understandably heightened the interest of modern Greeks to learn about its fundamental characteristics. This is the aim of the present series. By crafting the portraits of four of the leading figures of the Greek Revolution (Theodoros Kolokotronis, Ioannis Kapodistrias, Petrobey Mavromichalis, Bouboulina) and analyzing four of the main themes related to it (1814-1821: The preparation of a revolution, Internal strife and conflicts, From the Massacre of Chios to the Exodus of Messolonghi, The Great Powers and the Revolution), it aspires to contribute to public history and the dialogue about the character and forms of the Greek Rebirth. The volumes of the series are authored by distinguished historians and expert scientists, following the rules of scientific research.
