2The Greek War of Independence

In the early 19th century, Greece fought a long and arduous war for independence against the Ottoman Empire.

The Greek War of Independence, which began in 1821, was fueled by a desire for self-determination and a rekindling of national pride. The struggle for independence captured the imagination of the Western world and garnered support from philhellenes (lovers of Greece) like Lord Byron. Greece eventually gained its independence in 1829, marking a pivotal moment in its modern history.
