a little about greece about how and when did it become a country formation etc.?

Answer 1

Greece (official country name is Hellas/Hellenic Republic) as a modern state emerged in 1829, after the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Occupation, a war that started in March 25, 1821. It was officially recognized as the Kingdom of Greece, and its first king was a German prince named Otto. Nowadays its a democracy. Before the creation of the modern greek state, the entire greek peninsula (southern part of Balkans) was part and/or creator of many empires or civilizations. For example, before the descent of the greek tribes (ionians, dorians, aeolians) the pre-hellenes created the minoan civilization. The first 'greek' civilization was the mycenean civilization (see Trojan war, etc.). Then there was the emergence of vatious city-states, with the most famous of all being Athens and Sparta. Later on it was the turn of the macedonian kingdom with Phillip and Alexander the Great, who unified the Greeks and invaded Persia. Greece at the time was part of the Macedonian empire and later on part of the hellenistic kingdoms that were created after the death of Alexander. The rise of the Roman Empire found Greece as a part of the macedonian empire theme. Later on, it became a part of the Byzantine Empire and then part of the Ottoman empire after the fall of Constantinople (1453). Since 1821, Greece gradually took its current form through a series of wars (1st and 2nd Balkan war, 1st WW, Minor Asia expedition, 2nd WW). The last change of greek constitution took place in 1975, after the collapse of the junta regime (1967-1974) and the restoration of democracy.

Answer 2

Hello dear!
I mostly agree with Mortisia2121 an Lycovetos!
Further, what do you mean with the term country and country formation?
Greece was organized in city states (from which the word civilization has come). There were plenty of events uniting the Greeks, among them language, social meetings, religion, names, cooperations, amphictyoniae, ....
Some 2,340 years ago, the Greeks of the North, and especially the Macedonians, through war united all Greeks into a kingdom! Since then, the city states lost their strategic and political power. Later, about 2,200 years ago, the Romans got the land of the Greek city states and they were proceeding in genocides against the Greeks. Later, on the 5th century, the Romans by law were forbidding Greeks to even name their name! Then, 550 years ago, the Ottomans wan against Romans and Greeks got some freedoms and thus municipalities, rather than city states were getting freedoms and rights to act independently!
About 2 centuries ago, and after many efforts and tries, there was a "successful" revolution and a part was free and the new state of Greece was formed, in 1829. Since then, more Greek and international efforts brought freedom to more Greek regions. The last region freed was in 1948, the Dodecanese!
Thank yo for your interest!

Answer 3

Greece has an extremely ancient story and -pre-history, starting from the lake villages of Florina, some 5.000 B.C. up to date.
You could say that the most recent country foundation took place in 1829 after the shipbattle of Navarino in Peloponnesus when the Turkish armata was destroyed and the Allied Forces (English/Russian/French) invited Kapodistrias to be the first Governor of Greece, with Aegina Island as the capital.
The official acknowledgement of Greece as an independent country took place in 1830 though.

Answer 4

The first Greeks arrived in Europe some time before 1500 BC, and at its peak, Greek civilization ruled everything from Greece to Egypt to the Hindu Kush mountains. Since then, Greek minorities have remained in former Greek territories (e.g., Turkey, Italy, and Libya, Levant, etc.), and Greek emigrants have assimilated into differing societies across the globe (e.g. North America, Australia, Northern Europe, South Africa etc.). However, today most Greeks live in the modern states of Greece (independent since 1821) and Cyprus (independent since 1960).

Answer 5

In Classic Times (300 4000 BC) modern Greece was a number of City States with Sparta and Athens being two of the most influential. At that time it was the most influential area in the world. Alexander the Great claimed territory for Macedonia as far away as India.
The Athens area developed literature, democracy, mathematics, drama, the rule of law and the beginnings of a view of the nature of the natural world.
In more recent times Greece was occupied by an oppressive Turkey who were finally kicked out in the early nineteenth century (late nineteenth century for Crete).
We probably owe more, in term of things we value, to Greece than to any country in the World.

Answer 6

Greece was a part of many empires for a long time (Macedon, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman), when finally in 1829 she was acknowledged as an independent state after a revolutionary war.
