The War of Independence in Greece

Introduction

1821-1830 War of Independence, also known as Russian Revolution. Greece fought against the Ottoman Empire after carrying about 500 years under his domain. Greece had enjoyed some autonomy, but the French revolution and Napoleonic wars woke up in the society of the time the desire for total autonomy. Despite the strong Turkish repression, Europe held out Greece by giving him the victory. In 1829 the Adrianopolis treaty was signed, which recognized Greek independence, thus establishing the Hellenic Republic.

Developing

In 1914 the 1st GM began after the mysterious murder of Archduke Francisco Fernando de Austria. Greece tried to remain neutral as long as possible, but in 1915 he gave the passage of triple entente troops who were going to help Serbia (with which Greece had a pact of mutual help after the victory of the Balkan wars) this caused the invasionof Greece that tried to remain neutral and social division due to political positioning during the conflict (they divided between the supporters of King Constantine I and those of the President of the Government of the moment come them)

On August 4, 1936, General Ioannis Metaxás through a coup d’etat supported by King Jorge II, made Greece a fascist state under an anti -communist government, authoritarian and above all conservative (and therefore monarchical) Metaxás intended to make Greece go outof its political and economic decline restoring the monarchy.

The Greek civil war was triggered in 1946 was a confrontation between communists and conservatives. The conservatives had the support of the United States and the United Kingdom. The victory went to the anti -communists (who were already in government), this caused entry into NATO.

In the first phase of the Greece War was occupied by the italo-German army and the monarchical government was exiled. However, in the second phase of the war, the troops retired and the monarchists returned from exile and played control of the country with the communists.

conclusion

The consequences of this war influenced both economics and politics and society. As for economics, war left centers of shattered infrastructure which had to rebuild. As for society, many Greeks were forced to emigrate, mainly for economic reasons, since the country had been very impoverished (more than it was already). As for politics, any expression contrary to the conservative was persecuted and censored.
