Abstract

This talk explores the larger Ottoman imperial context in which the Greek War of Independence evolved and proved successful, and also, how an empire tried to suppress a national uprising – the first of its kind in the early nineteenth century. In that sense, it reviews the overall context, focusing especially on the relationships and tensions between the imperial centre and the various representatives of the local elites. Then, based on official Ottoman documents concerning the outbreak of the Greek Revolution, it shows how the central government understood and reacted to the Greek insurgency in spring/summer 1821.
