Greek War of Independence (feb 21, 1821 – sep 12, 1829)
Description:
One of the only successful political movements to come out of the discontent of 1820/1821, the long and bloody Greek civil war established Greece as a independent state from the Ottoman Empire, and would set a precedent for long, bloody wars of self-determination in the Balkans that we suffer from to this day.Added to timeline:
