Abstract
At a time when we are living in a period of restructuring of balances, both in our country and in the wider geographical area to which it belongs. The reorganisations and their dynamics raise many questions about the rights and future being born in our region and in our homeland. Although it is dangerous to expect the evolution of the future according to the origins of the past, it is just as dangerous to reject a historical heritage. Thus, it is important to understand how we were led to the 1821 Revolution and how the independent Greek state was formed. These crucial events followed a long period of foreign interventions and fermentations, which, in combination with the initiatives of Hellenism in the diaspora and the subjugated areas, prepared the ground. It therefore appears as a question what were the dynamics at that time as regards the correlation of foreign powers and their relations with the Greek question and then with the newly formed Greek state. The naval battle of Navarino was the first crucial step. The independent state, however, was effectively consolidated with the Treaty of Edirne, after the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829. But these things would not have happened if the Greeks had not come together in the Philiki Etaireia initially and if they had not proclaimed the revolution and insisted on a single independent state.
