Why was the Greek Revolution an explicitly Christian undertaking that produced an exclusively Christian state? (It relates to the imperial experiences of the soon-to-be Greeks.) What in the end was the main goal and achievement of the Revolution? (It was not liberty as we understand it.) Why did the European powers oppose and then accept this revolution, having quashed revolutions in other Mediterranean lands? (It has a lot to do with the Congress system, the Holy Alliance, and especially Russia.) A nationalist revolution it was, but also the product of imperial intersections, mobilities, and opportunities, that evolved when France arrived on the Balkan coasts in 1797.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>N.B.: Be aware that due to the COVID-19 safety measures, the event will take place via ZOOM Please register with francesca.parenti@eui.eu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>European University Institute<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dates: Wed 25 Nov 2020 17.00 &#8211; 19.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Location: via ZOOM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affiliation: Department of History and Civilization<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Type: Lecture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact: Francesca Parenti &#8211; Send a mail<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organiser: Giorgio Riello<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Federico Romero (EUI &#8211; HEC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaker: Yanni Kotsonis (New York University and Fernand Braudel Fellow)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attachment: 2019 March &#8211; Privacy Statement for HEC Events.pdf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eui.eu\/events\/detail?eventid=531418\">https:\/\/www.eui.eu\/events\/detail?eventid=531418<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3037,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/European_University_Institute_logo_svg.png?fit=1280%2C614&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52688,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52688","url_meta":{"origin":23746,"position":0},"title":"Eleonora Naxidou and Yura Konstantinova \u201eBalkan Perspectives of Europe: Between East and West\u201c","author":"Filip \u0160imunjak","date":"28. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"Through the lens of the Balkan nations, this volume makes a valuable and significant contribution to the fields of European and Southeast European studies by reconsidering the East\/West dichotomy \u2013 both in terms of the Orient\u2013Occident divide and the Eastern\u2013Western Europe binary.
