THE 100 EVENTS THAT MARKED GREECE FROM 1821 TO THE PRESENT
THE Brainfood Publishing presents the opinion of Antonis Antoniadis on the "100 events that marked Greece from 1821 to today". Tour the streets of the history of modern Greece and discover all the landmarks from 1821 to the present day.
Two centuries after the glorious 1821, Greece is a stable republic, a member of the European family. In the 200 years that have passed since the Revolution, there have been no shortage of critical moments, but neither have there been moments of greatness.
During these turbulent two centuries for Europe and the world, the Greeks rebelled, formed a nation-state, fought to consolidate their position on this side of Europe, stood tall in the quicksand of the Balkans, gave their blood toll in all great wars. Modern Greece was rocked by a civil war and a dictatorship, but it was also raised by struggles for human freedom and was fortunate to give birth to two Nobel Prize winning poets.
