9780282158033: Thoughts on the Greek Revolution (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book focuses on the historical and social contexts of the Greek revolution, which took place from 1821–1829, and gained Greece its independence from the Ottoman Empire. The author aims to articulate the background and subsequent suffering of the Greeks, in the hope of generating compassion and donations to alleviate their suffering on behalf of the people of England. At the time, charitable organizations only fed a population devastated by war, disease, and the threat of famine. The author illuminates not only the plight of the Greeks, but also the political context that contributed to their revolution. This book should encourage readers to understand the situation of a people fighting for their independence and humanity during the Greek revolution.
