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_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},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"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":54174,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=54174","url_meta":{"origin":23746,"position":0},"title":"Yanni Kotsonis, &#8220;The Greek Revolution and the Violent Birth of Nationalism&#8221;","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"18. lipnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"A sweeping global history of the birth of modern Greece In 1821, a diverse territory in the southern Balkans on the fringe of the Ottoman Empire was thrust into a decade of astounding mass violence.
