The Greek Struggle for Independence 1821–1833 is an illuminating exploration of Greece’s historic fight for sovereignty and the birth of the modern Greek state. Chronicling the revolution’s early achievements and its far-reaching implications, the book details the nation’s transformation from a fragmented uprising to the establishment of a fledgling state, whose boundaries initially encompassed only a fraction of the Greek-speaking world. Through vivid accounts, it brings to life the strategic considerations of European powers, the persistence of Greek resistance, and the interplay of regional and global politics that shaped Greece's borders.
This comprehensive study captures the incremental expansion of Greece’s territory, from the Ionian Islands' union in 1864 to the incorporation of Thessaly, Crete, and Macedonia through wars and diplomacy, culminating in the Dodecanese's annexation in 1947. The book offers a richly detailed narrative of the political, cultural, and military forces at play, painting a vivid portrait of a nation striving to unify its people and reclaim its heritage. Ideal for readers intrigued by Greece’s tumultuous history, this work provides a compelling look at how independence and national identity were hard-won through decades of struggle.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
