War Of Greek Independence - LoveToKnow Watches (3821 words) |
 | WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE, the name given to the great rising of the Greek subjects of the sultan against the Ottoman domination, which began in 1821 and ended in 1833 with the establishment of the independent kingdom of Greece. |
| The worst enemy of the P Y Greeks was their own incurable spirit of faction; in the very crisis of their fate, during the siege of Missolonghi, rival presidents and rival assemblies struggled for supremacy, and a third civil war had only been prevented by the arrival of Cochrane and Church. |
| There is no trustworthy history of the war, based on all the material now available, and all the existing works must be read with caution, especially those by eye-witnesses, who were too often prejudiced or the dupes of the Greek factions. |
| War of Independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (144 words) |
| The term War of Independence is generally used to describe a war occurring over a territory that has declared independence. |
| Once the state that previously held the territory sends in military forces to assert its sovereignty or the native population clashes with the former occupier, a separatist rebellion has begun. |
| If a new state is successfully established, the conflict is subsequently known as a war of independence. |
