It has been called the age of revolution. The white heat of it came
in the decades either side of the year 1800. But it lasted a full
century: from the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 to
the great national unifications of Germany and Italy during the
1860s. Right in the middle of this long age of revolution and, as
it turns out, the pivotal point within it, comes the Greek
Revolution that broke out in the spring of 1821. Historians have
been slow to recognise the key role of the Greek uprising in 1821,
and the international recognition of Greece as a sovereign,
independent state nine years later, in 1830, in this process that
did so much to shape the geopolitics of the European continent, and
indeed of much of the world. This little book sets out to explain
what happened during these nine years to bring about such
far-reaching (and surely unanticipated) consequences, and why the
full significance of these events is only now coming to be
appreciated, two hundred years later.
