Description

Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject History Europe - Other Countries - Modern Times, Absolutism, Industrialization, grade: very good, University of Essex (Department of History), course: Comparative Nationalism in Europe, language: English, abstract: Armed uprisings, revolutions or civil wars do not come out of the blue. But what were the main reasons of the Greek war of independence? Some scholars have tried to explain this event as a war of national liberation, driven by a strong national identity amongst the Greek population. This essay intends to challenge such explanatory models by exploring the very diversity and heterogeneity of the several social groups within the movement for an independent Greek nation state.
