Cambridge at the University Press 1927 First Editw11 1913 Gt"ei!ll Translalwll 1914 S«tmd EditiOII 191.3 TAira Editio11 1917 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN GENERAL PREFACE The aim of this series is to sketch the history of Modern Europe, with that of its chief colonies and conquests, from about the end of the fifteenth century down to the present time. In on~ or two cases the story commences at an earlier date: .in the case of the colonies it generally begins later. The histories of the different countn'es are described, as a rule, separately ,· for it is believed that, exapt in epochs like that of the French Revolution and Napoleon I, /he comtecli'on of events will thus be better under­ stood and the continuity of historical development more clearly displayed. · The series is intended for the use of all persons anxious /o understand the nature of existing political conditt'ons. "The roots of the present lie deep in /he past".,· and /he real significance of contemporary events cannot be grasped unless the historical causes which have led to them are known. The plan adopted makes i't -possible /o treat the history of /he las/ four centuries in consider­ able detail, and to embody the most important results of modern research. II is hoped therefore that the series wi'll be useful not only to beginners but to students who have already acquired some general knowledge of European History. For those who wisk to carry their studits further, the bibliograpky appended /o each volume will act as a guide to original sources of information and works of a more special ckaracter. Considerable attention i's paid to political geography,· and eack volume is furnished witk suck maps and plans as may bf: requisite for the illustratz'on of the text. G. W. PROTHERO. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION HE present work has been based, wherever possible, upon T the original documents, and is the result of many years' study of the Eastc::rn Question. I am indebted to the editors of The Etzglish Histon"cal and The lVeslminster Reviews for permission to reprint with considerable additions two articles contributed to those periodicals ; and I desire to thank H. E. M. J. Gennadios, former Greek Minister in London,. for access to his unrivalled collection of pamphlets, and Cav. Pasqualucci, librarian of the Consulta, for his courtesy in allowing me to use the library of the Italian Foreign Office. With regard to the spelling of Greek names, while common words have been written in their popular, unaccented form, rarer words have been reproduced in Greek· dress with their accents. Slav names have been transliterated. W.:M. ROME, july 22, 1922. PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION • HE additional pages of the third edition, so far as Greece Tis concerned, are largely the work of an eye-witness; for, resident in Ath.ens since November, 1923, I have been a spectator of all the political movements connected with the creatioq of the Hellenic Republic.

  • Britain and the Greek Civil War, 1944–1949 British Imperialism, Public Opinion and the Coming of the Cold War
    Britain and the Greek Civil War, 1944–1949 British Imperialism, Public Opinion and the Coming of the Cold War JOHN SAKKAS Harrassowitz Verlag (Germany, 2013), 149 pp/28 illust. ISBN: 978-3-447-06718-8 The Greek civil war holds a significant place in the history of twentieth-century Europe for many reasons. Firstly, it was Europe’s bloodiest conflict in the second half of the 1940s; secondly, it marked a turning point in the Cold War; and lastly, it showed how Greece had become an ‘apple of discord’ for both American and Soviet involvement in Greek affairs which led to even more complexity in the country’s post-war politics. Yet despite its significance, only a limited number of studies have been carried out on the subject of this era. After the troubled period of the 1950s and 1960s, a time dominated by extreme conservatism, anti-communism and nationalist paroxysms, it was difficult to access material sources and this made it nearly impossible to conduct scholarly research, so that older politically-charged interpretations and accounts went mostly unchallenged. However, in the past two decades a new historiographical current has developed as regards the civil war in Greece and new evaluations and debates have emerged that shed fresh light on conventional supposition. Britain and the Greek Civil War, 1944–1949 draws upon the author’s doctoral dissertation and provides a welcome addition to studies on that period in Greek history. John Sakkas takes up a novel approach that does not focus solely on Greek politics, whether they are national or local, nor does it centre simply on British policy in Greece.

Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821.

  • Early Nineteenth-Century British Drama and the Greek War of Independence
    Staging Transcultural Relations: Early Nineteenth-Century British Drama and the Greek War of Independence Alexander Grammatikos, Langara College Abstract Keywords This paper examines two British Romantic dramas written Nineteenth-Century British during the Greek War of Independence and its aftermath: George Drama; Greek War of Burges’s The Son of Erin or the Cause of the Greeks (1823) Independence; British Romantic and John Baldwin Buckstone’s The Maid of Athens; or, the Re- Hellenism; Philhellenism; Lord volt of the Greeks (1829). The paper discusses the plays’ portray- Byron als of transcultural interactions between Greeks and Europeans (Irish and British) and argues that the two dramas encourage audiences to see similarities between themselves and Greeks, while also critiquing British apathy toward the Greeks’ efforts to achieve liberation. Despite Burges’s and Buckstone’s shared support for the Greek war, however, an important difference between the two texts exists: while The Son of Erin maintains a relentless attack on the British government for aligning British politics with Ot- toman policies and remaining indifferent toward the Greek war, The Maid of Athens suggests that Britons who take advantage of Greeks’ subjugation misrepresent Britain’s true feelings about the Greek War of Independence. JMH 34 (2019): Special Issue JMH 34 (2019): Special Issue Article: Alexander Grammatikos Introduction In his seminal text, That Greece Might Still Be Free: The Philhellenes in the War of Independence, William St. Clair writes that “[o]ne of the surprising features of the history of philhellenism during the Greek War of Independence is the slowness of the response in Britain.
