III. The Greek Revolution


 * Greek revolution, also commonly known as Greek war of independence, was held during 1812 and 1832. The Greek citizens and philosophers fought against the Ottoman government system which they were part of since the mid 1400’s. Greeks were inspired by the French Philosophers, Declaration of the Rights of Man, and the Enlightenment, all coming from the French Revolution. When the Greek Enlightenment came up or flourished, it was a great big of a deal to the Greeks as there were no Renaissance movement in Greece and this was the first time ever Greeks’ nationalism started. **




 * The Ottoman government gave constant hardships to the peasants and increased the taxes. In order to stop the government from taking over, the peasants managed a group and started their revolution in 1812. Two uprisings happened in that year; however, the first one was severely defeated by the Ottoman army. The second protest, which was held in Peloponnese was more successful and this sparked the whole nation to be part of the revolution. Even illiterate Christian peasants who had no relevance to Greek nationalists joined the army in order to free themselves from heavy taxation. **
