    “Go search for Athens…” urged writer Syned Davis in a poem to Dr. Thomas Taylor. In other words Davis was saying the Greeks should have freedom and not be forced to deal with the constraints of the Turks (Doc1). Greek exiles in Italy agreed with Davis. In the pamphlet “A Word About Freedom” Greeks are told to resist the Ottomans, hence seek liberty because the Turks are imposing injustice (Doc6). Claude Etienne Savary, a French scholar of both Greek and Arabic stated he “…would wish to excite all of Europe to combine against these Turks who have crushed the Greek nation.” He also held the biased opinion that the Ottomans had done the Greeks wrong and Greeks deserve their opinion (Doc3). Alexander Mavrocordato in the “Declaration to the Christian Powers” says that “in a word humanity, religious interest all plead in their favor.” He meant the Greeks in this statement. He was another person who held the belief that the strong determined Greeks should have liberty (Doc10). With all these notions for Greek independence Greeks are often cited as big benefactors in Europe’s development. According to Alexandros Kalphohlou the Greeks are very receptive people. They don’t judge foreigners and are more than willing to contribute (Doc4). Percy Blythe Shelly, an English poet, agreed. He said, “We are all Greeks.” In other words we have taken a lot from their society and culture. Therefore Greece should have their independence (Doc7).…

    Greek Movement for Independence: Character and Condition of Greeks in the Ottoman Empire

    Sneyd Davis, an English writer, wrote a poem to his friend and neighbor Dr. Thomas Taylor, in 1744. In it he writes about how Athens was after it was taken by the Turks. He says that it was deserted, it was noiseless, and it was empty. Once a place filled with joy but now all that remains are Turkish soldiers and captains. In his poem, the words he used show his empathy and his hatred for the Turks. It shows how sad and angry he is that Athens has been taken. Mustapha III, the Turkish sultan, orders his governor in northern Greece to repress raids by Greeks, in 1765. He says that the robbers lead the district of Larissa to rebellion. He wants the people to arrest and imprison the robbers, take back the stolen goods, animals, and any ransom money, and lastly to cleanse the place of “evildoers.” Mustapha III shows how angry he is by writing about these robbers. He shows that there is hope by ordering the people to do certain things to help bring to town back to normal. Claude Etienne Savary, French scholar of Greek and Arabic, wrote a letter in 1788. In it he writes, the facts…

    Honor and glory are central to the Greek character. Since heroes are the essence of the society from which they come from, Greek heroes live their lives according to honor and glory, in all kinds of varied forms.

The fall of Troy is “a thing… whose glory shall perish never (Homer, Iliad 2.324)”. The goal of the Greeks is fame that is never ending and lastly even after death, and they let nothing bar their way. The honor of the individual, family, and community guide every action…

    The Greeks and the Ottoman Empire

    The fight for independence has long been a part of numerous societies’ individuality and identity. During the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, the Greeks of the Ottoman Empire fought against the Turks for their freedom and autonomy. The Greek’s movement against Ottoman rule attracted various groups of people who developed distinct views of them and their well being. While many supported the Greeks and their liberating fight for emancipation, there were those who opposed them and their betrayal against the higher authority. Through poems, letters, and other forms of written documents, several individuals and members of the French and English societies deemed the revolting Greeks as determined, courageous, yet dishonest victims of tyranny because of the havoc and victory that they established. An additional type of document that could be of importance in this case is a newspaper from the time that would reveal what the world was being notified about which would have changed their point of view of the Greeks and their situation.…

    Russian Revolution Causes

    The Russian Revolution was one of the most important revolutions in history. Just like the French people, Russians got tired of being treated unfairly by the Higher classes, and so decided to revolt against them. However unlike the French, they could not be satisfied, or entertained for long by a single revolution, reason why they did many revolts. Each time retreating at its middle, until they finally were annoyed and determined enough to overthrow the Government and change their lives as they knew it. Even so, that wasn’t the only cause of the Russian Revolution, along the many revolts came various relevant causes and events, but only few of them stood out, with such importance to today’s history of the causes for the Russian…

    Greek Independence

    For centuries the Greek population was completely under the Ottoman rule. The Greeks’ independence from the Ottoman Turks in 1830 did not come without hardship and suffering. Several other countries including Russia and France took sides with Greece during this fight as they felt close and connected with their culture. A nine year war was fought which eventually resulted in the Greeks gaining independence from the Turks. During this time, the Greeks had to maintain high morale and a strong disposition to be as successful as they were in the end. The circumstances they were under were difficult and harsh. Many people felt as though Greece deserved to break away from the Ottoman Empire, but some believed that the Turkish rule was not too oppressing.…
