His statue, the work of the sculptor Michael Tobros, was placed in the square in 1932 and is carved from marble. He is shown standing, dressed in formal attire, leaning lightly on the trunk of a tree. Let’s now review his biography: Born in in 1776, he was the son of a noble family. He studied in Italy, but was finally won over by politics and diplomacy. For many years he was at the forefront of European diplomacy, chiefly as the Russian Minister of Exterior, during which time he was able to give timely assistance to the Greek struggle for independence. In April 1827, the 3rd National Congress elected him as governor of the country for a period of 7 years, and he landed in Nafplio, the then capitol, on 8th January 1828. He governed the newly constituted Greek state for 3 years and 8 months, until 27th September 1831, when he was murdered outside the church of .

    Les Philhellènes français dans la lutte pour l’indépendance grecque (1821-1831)1 Anastasie TSAGKARAKI 1 Le présent article se base sur les résultats de la recherche effectuée dans le cadre de la rédaction de mon mémoire de Diplôme supérieur de spécialisation en Langue et Littérature françaises, intitulé La contribution des Français à l’organisation de l’armée régulière grecque pendant la période 1821-1831, déposé dans le Département de Langue et Littérature françaises, filière d’Histoire de la civilisation française, Université nationale et capodis- trienne d’Athènes, Grèce, novembre 2011 ; (http://hippo.lib.uoa.gr). REVUE HISTORIQUE DES ARMÉES 2e trimestre 2016 93 VARIATIONS Lorsqu’en 1821 la révolution hellénique éclata, elle donna l’impression d’avoir été plani- fiée depuis longtemps et de répondre aux vœux de l’opinion publique européenne2. Déjà, depuis l’époque où les premiers voyageurs européens commencèrent à visiter la Grèce, à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, le pays faisait partie de l’Empire ottoman, à l’Orient exotique. Pourtant, dans leur conscience, ces voyageurs n’identifiaient jamais la Grèce à l’Empire. Les Grecs se distin- guaient de leurs conquérants turcs par leur langue, leur religion, mais principalement par leur héritage classique. Arrivant en Grèce, ils avaient l’impression d’arriver dans un pays fami- lier. Par conséquent, dans leurs journaux personnels, rédigés avant l’éclatement de la révolu- tion, ils se mettent en quête d’une vision de la Grèce antique par l’intermédiaire des ruines et cherchent systématiquement à associer les idéaux classiques et sublimes avec la réalité déchi- rante et décevante de la Grèce sous le joug ottoman.

  • Regatul Romaniei
    RegatulRomaniei file:///C:/Programele%20Mele/IstorieRomania1/RegatulRomaniei/Regat... Regatul României Visul unirii tuturor românilor sub un singur steag a frământat mințile conducătorilor încă din cele mai vechi timpuri, dar alianțele militare și interesele de ordin comercial nu au fost în favoarea simplificării relațiilor dintre diferitele formațiuni statale. În vechime, țările românești au negociat protecția celor două mari imperii ale romanilor, apoi începând cu secolul al XIII-lea au întreținut legături de prietenie și ajutor mutual cu Polonia și Lituania. Din secolul al XV-lea, ca state vasale Imperiului Otoman dar sub protecția directă a Hanatului Crimeei, s-a pus problema formării unui eyalat turcesc comun. Proiectul a fost însă refuzat cu dârzenie, ca urmare a divergențelor de ordin religios. Ca o soluție de compromis, sultanii au permis independența religioasă a celor trei principate, în schimbul dependenței economice. Situația de criză a intervenit o dată cu revoluția și apoi războiul de independență purtat de greci și sârbi. Sub aripa ocrotitoare a Bisericii Ortodoxe Răsăritene, creștinii din toate țările Balcanice au ridicat la început glasul, apoi armele, cerând vehement ieșirea din situația de compromis religios. Ca rezultat, boierii și dragomanii greci au fost maziliți, iar mănăstirile filiale ale celor de la Muntele Athos au fost secularizate. În urma grecilor au rămas nenumăratele lor rude născute din alianțe cu casele boierești autohtone, practic aproape toată crema boierimii. Pentru a umple vidul administrativ rămas s-a hotărât instituirea unei locotenențe domnești, ajutată de o Adunare Constituantă a fruntașilor celor două țări. În ambele principate, toate sufragiile au fost întrunite în anul 1859 de Colonelul Alexandru Ioan Cuza, cu funcția de Ministru de Război, fost deputat de Galați și fost șef al Miliției de la Dunărea de Jos.

  • (1827-1834) Livierato
    CO-365 A NEW VIEW ON THE FRENCH CARTOGRAPHIC MAPPING FOOTPRINTS IN THE EARLY LIFE OF THE NEW GREEK STATE (1827-1834) LIVIERATOS E. Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, THESSALONIKI, GREECE SUMMARY Searching for the deeper roots of the shortcomings faced by the Greek state today and in its relations with the society in the field of land policy, land-administration and land-management and development, where the “cartographic deficit” is more than evident, we arrive inevitable in the early stages of the creation of the New Greek state in the second decade of nineteenth century. At that time, in the general frame of the historic circumstances leading to the Greek War of Independence and the establishment of a new state, some very interesting “French connections” emerged from the study of sources and new findings give fresh views on the French cartographic mapping footprints during the critical and exceptionally unstable early life in the formation of the New Greek state (1827-1834). It is shown that international policies, unfortunate events and imponderables, ideological conflicts and power rivalries, all involving in a way some French influence in the first decades of nineteenth century, played a role to cancel any attempt tried at that early times in order to introduce relevant institutional structures for a systematic state mapping in a country almost totally devastated by a fierce struggle for independence. INTRODUCTION It is well known that before the period we deal with here, an intense French cartographic activity in representing on maps and charts the wider and/or closer land and sea territory where the contemporary Greek state is extended, was carried out during the entire eighteenth century.

Case studies such as Thessaloniki, Athens, Patra, Serres, offer the opportunity to highlight the evolution of the Greek urban block through representative examples of urban development in specific periods of Greek history: in the neoclassic city of the 19th century, during the beginning of 20th century, during the interwar period (1923 - 1940) and in the post-war city during 1950s and 1970s. The investigation focuses on the general historical framework connected to urban development, whereas specific masteplans showcase the practice of each period respectively. Moreover, the study highlights parameters, which form, reform or transform the urban blocks, such as planning principles and design tools. The objective of this research is to analyze characteristics and qualities of the morphology of urban blocks in order to understand its importance in the organization of the city.
