Synopsis "Modern Greece: A Captivating Guide to the History of Greece, Starting from the Greek War of Independence Through the Balkan Wars, Wor"

Did you know that while the Greek civilization is thousands of years old, Greece itself has only been a nation since the early 1800s? Many people know about the glories of ancient Greece: the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the sculptures, the writings of Homer, and the adventures of Achilles and Jason and the Argonauts. They know about the Greek gods and goddesses, of Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, and many others. Even the term "Trojan Horse," named after the trick that the Greeks played on the inhabitants of Troy, has made it into our language. Ancient Greece gave us philosophy, math, medicine, the roots of many languages, and so much more. And then...nothing. The Golden Age of Greece ended more than two thousand years ago, and that's where most people's knowledge ends, but in the over two thousand years since the glories of Athens and Sparta, the Greeks have endured occupation, rebellion, slavery, war, and triumph again and again. Your knowledge of Greece is about to get an update. In this new Captivating History book, you will discover the truth about modern Greece. In Captivating History's History of Modern Greece, you'll learn that: The Greek civilization enjoyed a new "golden age" in the Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire.In 1453, the Ottoman Turks destroyed the last remnants of Byzantine glory.The Turks incorporated Greece into their empire, which lasted until 1918.Many Greeks actually fought for the Ottomans.Some Greeks became powerful Ottoman political figures.People all over western Europe and America supported Greece's war of independence.One of these "Philhellenes" ("lover of the Greeks") was the famous British poet Lord Byron.It took a series of wars to form the country we recognize today.Greece launched a disastrous invasion of Turkey in 1921.And much, much more!Scroll up and click the "add to cart" button to learn more about modern Greece!
