Rebellion Against the Sultan in Greece

The rebellion against the Sultan in Greece, known as the Greek War of Independence, began with a declaration of war by the Greeks. This movement was initially sparked in Moldavia, serving as a diversion before the main revolutionary activities shifted to the Peloponnese. The Peloponnese, along with the northern part of the Gulf of Corinth, became the first regions of the Ottoman Empire to successfully achieve independence. The conflict was characterized by a series of battles and uprisings that mobilized various Greek factions and garnered support from other nations, which recognized the Greeks' struggle for autonomy. The rebellion was not only a fight for independence but also a significant cultural revival, as it inspired a resurgence of Greek identity and nationalism among the populace. The eventual success of the revolution led to the establishment of a modern Greek state, which was formally acknowledged as independent in subsequent treaties.
