Abstract

The Greek war of independence belongs to the same tradition as those of the American and the French revolutions. It was fought by Greek Christians against Ottoman Muslims. Furthermore, the Greek diaspora in Europe and Russia played a vital role. On the Greek site there were manly warlords and primates competing among themselves in a premodern segmented society. The war attracted philhellene friends of the revolution and romantic Europeans who admired the heritage of Greek antiquity.
