Hey Kings and Generals, I wanted to say this briefly, I have to say that regarding for the Greek War of Independence, you guys did a good job explaining about the war as it is. And yeah, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. And since you finished the story of the Greek War of Independence, why not do a documentary series based on the Serbian Revolution 1804-1817 and the also peace that came afterwards 1817-1835? It basically marked the foundations for the country of Serbia 🇷🇸. So yeah, if you can do it, I’ll forward to that documentary series. Thank you and please let me know what you think.

In the meantime the West referred to the “Byzantine Empire” as Imperium Greacorum which translates to the “empire of the Greeks” a term used both within and outside of the Byzantine lands since at least the 8th Century. The Libri Carolini published in the 790s made the first mention of the term "Empire of the Greeks" (Latin: Imperium Graecorum) and Imperator Graecorum for the “Emperor of the Greeks”. To further emphasize this, I will point to a few examples taken from actual primary sources. Latin Bishop Liutprand of Cremona's summary of Constantinople from his AD 968 visit on behalf of Holy Roman Emperor Otto I. Liutprand consistently uses the term "Greeks" when referring to the inhabitants of the Byzantine Empire “The emperor of the Greeks is falsely humble, miserly, and greedy; lives on garlic, onions, and leeks, and drinks bath-water. The king of the Franks, on the contrary, is beautifully shorn ; wears a garment not at all like a woman's garment, and a hat; is truthful, without guile, merciful enough when it is right, severe when it is necessary, always truly humble, never miserly; does not live on garlic, onions and leeks so as to spare animals and, by not eating them, but selling them, to heap money together." and furthermore: "there came-an evil augury for me-envoys of the apostolic and universal pope John, through whom he asked Nikephoros, 'the emperor of the Greeks' to close an alliance and firm friendship with his beloved and spiritual son Otto august emperor of the Romans." ---------------------- It seems that the commoners in the West used the term "Greeks" more often. Even Varangian guards called their employers Greeks ("Grikkland"), according to the "the Greece runestones". On these runestones the word Grikkland ("Greece”) appears in three inscriptions. The word Grikk(j)ar ("Greeks) appears in 25 inscriptions. Also two stones refer to men as grikkfari ("traveller to Greece") and one stone refers to Grikkhafnir ("Greek harbours"). see Jesch 2001:99 - 2001:13 - 2001:100 --------------------- The large number of men who departed for the Byzantine Empire is indicated by the fact that the medieval Scandinavian laws still contained laws concerning voyages to Greece when they were written down after the Viking Age. Jansson 1987:43 The older version of the Westrogothic law, which was written down by Eskil Magnusson, the lawspeaker of Västergötland 1219-1225, stated that "no man may receive an inheritance (in Sweden) while he dwells in Greece". The later version, which was written down from 1250 to 1300, adds that "no one may inherit from such a person as was not a living heir when he went away". Also the old Norwegian Gulaþingslög contains a similar law: "but if (a man) goes to Greece, then he who is next in line to inherit shall hold his property" Blöndal & Benedikz 2007:223 ---------------------- Among the runestones of the Viking Age, 9.1-10% report that they were raised in memory of people who went abroad, and the runestones that mention Greece constitute the largest group of them. Jansson 1987:42 -------------- However, Blöndal and Benedikz (2007) state that although there were other reasons for going to Greece, it is certain that most of the runestones were made in memory of members of the Varangian Guard who died there in service to the Byzantine Emperor. -------------------- Sir Edwin Pears' preface to his treatment of the fall of the Eastern Empire is likely useful here, and it concurs with by J.B. Bury’s account of the use of the term "Greek". I am quoting Sir Edwin Pears below from his book “The destruction of the Greek empire”. “As being a continuation of the Roman Empire whose capital was New Rome, the name has the advantage of always keeping in view the continuity of Roman history. It was the Eastern Roman Empire which declined and fell in 1453. But it must be remembered, not only that its characteristics had considerably changed, but that to the men of the West it had come to be known as the Greek Empire”. Further more the quote continues with a justification. “The Orthodox Church, which aided as much as even law in binding the inhabitants of the country together, employed Greek, and Greek almost exclusively, as its language, and, although the great defenders of the term Roman as applied to the population are found among its dignitaries, the Church was essentially Greek as opposed to Roman, both in the character of its thought and teaching and in the language it employed. Hence it is not surprising that to the West during all the Middle Ages, the Empire was the Greek Empire, just as the Orthodox Church was the Greek Church. The Empire and the Church were each alike called Greek to distinguish them from the Empire and Church of the West. It is in this general use of the word Greek that I find my justification, for speaking of the capture of Constantinople, and the events connected with it, as the Destruction of the Greek Empire." ---------------------- Post-Charlemagne Western Europeans most commonly referred to the Eastern Empire as "Empire of the Greeks". Other names were also in use, such as above mentioned Eastern Empire. Source: "The Cambridge Medieval History" by J.B. Bury

According to the primary sources the Byzantines/Medieval Greeks used for themselves the names: Έλληνες/Hellenes (Greeks), Γραικοί/Graikoi (Greeks), Ραικοί/Raikoi (Greeks), Ελλαδικοί/Helladikoi (Greeks), Ρωμαίοι/Rhomaioi (Romans) (an ethnonym that derives from the fact that medieval Greeks had Roman citizenship and had taken under their control the Roman state during the byzantine period) and Ρωμέλληνες/Rhomellenes (Roman Greeks) . Greeks during the ottoman period used the names: Έλληνες/Hellenes (Greeks), Graikoi/Γραικοί (Greeks) and Ρωμιοί/Rhomioi (Romans). These are the names that are used by Greeks today as well. All of these names are used as synonyms and mean "Greek" in the Greek language. Including the term "Ρωμιός" that is used with the definition that the byzantine Greeks were using it and not as an identity separate from the greek one. Based on the greek sources (both from the byzantine and ottoman period) Greeks never stopped identifying as Greeks and never stopped considering ancient Greek their ancestors. So where exactly are you basing your claim that the concept of greek or hellenic identity had not existed for centuries and for early modern Greek-speakers the heroes of Homer were mystical giants and not their direct ancestors? I have seen only one source where someone was calling ancient Greeks "giants" and that was as a praise, not because he didn't consider him his ancestors.

People's awareness of Greek civilization and identity came away gravely damaged after the decline of the Byzantine Empire and Ottoman rule. “Hellene,” the appellation that defined the Greek people, had been abandoned: because Byzantium was part of the Roman Empire, the Greeks had taken to calling themselves Romans, Ῥωμαίοι. At the turn of the nineteenth century, as Ottoman rule waned and Greece regained a sense of its own identity, the language situation was, to put it mildly, paradoxical. The traditional written language had remained largely faithful to ancient Athenian-based Koine, yet it was so removed from the language then spoken that people no longer understood it. And there was no one cultural, political, or social identity strong enough to impose its language on the new Greek society. The only center to safeguard Greekness over the centuries had been the Church, which had done so by conserving ancient Koine. So, people looked to it to provide the revival of Hellenism with a common language. When the Greek War of Independence came to an end, the one way to recover a common outlook was to take a step back in time- two thousand years back. In fact, in its infancy, modern Greece established its identity by returning to its roots in Pericles' Athens of fifth century BC. Therefore, the written language that originated from Hellenistic Koine, which itself originated from the lonic-Attic dialect, gave Greece a united language that corresponded to their reacquired sense of national unity. Modern Greek pronunciation was achieved by keeping what was common to the majority of Hellenes and eliminating all local quirks. The vowel sounds of Koine remained intact, as did its written form. Modern Greek phonetics is the same as Hellenistic phonetics, though some consonants are pronounced differently. Although the grammatical forms that had disappeared thousands of years before, like aspect, dual number, the optative, and the dative, could not be resurrected, in many regards modern Greek remained ancient. The current language continues to draw a distinction between the present and aorist, retaining all of that distinction's semantic value, and still uses the accusative, nominative, genitive, and vocative cases (though the plural genitive is rarely used, and the nominative and vocative are often mixed up). Modern Greek made two surprising innovations. It got rid of infinitive verbs-a feature it shares with the languages of the Balkans-and invented a future tense by paraphrasing the verb "to want": "I will judge" is expressed as a кpivo, "I want to judge"-and therefore "will judge."

@sunmoonlightning Kapodistrias, as well as others in the Diaspora, realized very early that in order to unify the new state of "Hellenes", he had to break down ethnic, linguistical and cultural differences to amagalmate a new Hellenistic culture. More or less this too has remnants in today's Greece. They were not submitting to anyone! Did they not fight for independence for a new Democratic state? Or were they just taking advantage of a new Opportunity and would return to their way of paying off the Turk from the spoils of piracy and stealing from their neighbors, as was their historical legacy, in order to retain the Beylik? As far as their descent from Lacedemonians, between the Theban Wars and the later Roman conquest, I doubt if there was a significant population to contiue as a unique polity. The population of Maniots were Sclavenioi pushed by the Byzantine reconquista of the Morea (which is also a Sclavenian term, having nothing to do with the mulberry tree) to the mountain ridges of Taygetos and Panahaiko to the northwest. Read the Byzantine sources. "Turks never managed to step into Mani", true. They did not have to. That narrative is common in the Morea. And why would they? If they got paid why waste manpower and resources, there or in The Archipelago were the kehaya held the local Christians in check. Increased migration of Turks to Morea put pressure on the Christian inhabitants to try to secure what was left. Thus, the revolution. I doubt that the Maniots, having quasi-accepted the religion so late, had a "nationalistic" perspective and would have had a different outcome than the Souliots had farther north. Both were not in control of rich arable land, producing rich surpluses. If that was the case, the Ottomans would have tsifliked the area long before. Now, if it became an issue, as the need for tighter ethnocentic control by the Porte, as it developed in the years after the French Revolution, the Divan would have proven more strigent towards the Maniots and would have probably dissolved such remnants among their Milliets.

There are many more interesting details that can be studied from this time, like the actual representation and fight for influence of the three foreign powers in the political scene through actual parties of corresponding names -i.e. Mavrokordatos, who regardless of his failures, I think deserved some more credit was leading the English party. One of the notable lessons that I kept from this part of our history is that military geniuses, war heroes, even those with character of unquestionable integrity, like Kolokotronis unfortunately could not make good leaders outside war -but, I guess understandably, could not accept surrendering power to people who didn't prove themselves by the sword, but objectively were much more skilled in organizing a state and conducting diplomacy.

God bless the Greeks.

Just amazing! Thank you for the documentary!

Wonderful narration, we need a movie a series to show these events in details and in its wider range. Congratulations 🎊

The video itself is great and informative as always, but I believe it useful to mention that Kamikoto knives is owned by the same company as Established Titles and their claims have about the same level of truthfulness (I.e. very little). Their knives are mass-produced in China, the only thing Japanese about them is the name.

I admit that it is a very good documentary like all others I'veseen in your channel. Your side notes are great for those who like details.

What an incredible documentary. Thank you so much for producing these!

Well presented, and historically accurate with significant details. Well done!

nice documentary. Its also worthy to take a look to the bios of the protagonists of revolution. For example The Heroine Manto Mavrogenous. She donated whole vast family fortune to the revolution. She fought personally ,she got betrayed by the politicians, her home was burned by politician bouncers and she died at 44 years old ,very poor ,in the house of another co-fighter living as guest. Before she die she went to the government to ask for a tiny pension of veteran. The public servant asked her "what have you done for Greece and ask pension? and she said "What I Manto Mavrogenous have done for Greece? I did NOTHING" and she left.

thank you guys so much for covering this 👍

Really love this long video format. Thanks K&G!

Big fan of these long re upload d of your smaller videos. It would be helpful if we had a playlist with them to reach them easier. Keep doing your great work y’all!

I really enjoy the sound effects! Crickets at night, swords for a battlefield clash, even seagulls for naval actions were included.

Good Job & Well done! I've just read Roderick Beaton's book "Greece :Biography of a modern Nation" Your animation is the best method for me to sense history narrative vividly. By the way, there are many military events even after Greece independent. Hopefully, we are able to see them all in the future.

Excellent detailed account....I really appreciated all of the details about the battles, the generals, the Ottoman rule, the development of Greece....and the ultimate creation of Greece

Incredible video. This is better than most Greek school books!

1:32:28 of excellent artwork, animation, narration etc... I deeply thank you for this treasure!

My gosh how I love those long form videos !

I am a little bit disappointed that no reference was made to the Greek revolutionary activity in my home island of Euboea, but I still have to admit that this was an excellent video.

Amazing work, thank you

It would be so good to see where the story goes in this David and Goliath epic after 1832. Any further revolts or territorial gains in the latter half of the 19th century, for example.

Well there were some instances of territories changing hands, mostly at the expense of the Ottomans and benefit to the Greeks and other Balkan peoples but the real break for the Greeks would be the Balkan Wars preceding the first world war, where Greece took a shape mostly similar to the one it has today.

"The Turk came upon us as a rapacious marauder," Kolokotronis said. "He put to death some of our people and made slaves of others, but when our King in Constantinople fell in battle, he made no treaty with the Turks but left a bequest bidding his people carry on the war. His garrison has never given up and his fortresses have never capitulated."

During most of the Byzantine Empire, Romios was synonymous to a Greek not a Roman. It is still the same today. Greeks had a knowledge not of the Roman history but of their own, facilitated by the church. It's referred to in many Ottoman era documents, especially where the language and education is concerned. The myth that the Rums did not know anything about their ancient past is propagated by those who have an interest to deny the Greekness of certain areas they now posses, or want to possess. I see much of the Turkish view of things in this video eg the claim that "parents volunteered their children for devshirme". Not that the creators and owners of this space are Turkish and Azeris has anything to do with this...right...? Right....?

With its emperors knowingly starting what would eventually become modern Greek nationalism, making fitting statements about it as well. or how, with the Komnenoi onwards, faith wasn't what distinguished a roman from a barbarian alone anymore? It had to come through the Greek language, the Greek orthodox faith, and Roman citizenship. How Constantine XI went out of his way to say that Greek and Roman is the exact same thing, and that he and his compatriots were both?

Also GREAT VIDEO as always. I was curious about the beginning of the modern Greek nation. Storytelling and the visuals are great and informative. Suggestion: Please can yall do a video on how the great Powers dealt with switching from melee, combat to more firearms and muskets. And how that meant changing drilling and how they implemented the tactics. Like the progression from Roman army fighting to Mongols to Napoleon army tactics ...to civil war tactics to world War 1.

I can't believe that there is a documentary about the Greek War of Independence, 1821... and there is no any mention of the great Greek heroes, such as Georgios Karaiskakis... Grigorios Dikaios Papaflessas... Laskarina Bouboulina... and Manto Mavrogenous !!! Also, there is no mention of Papaflessas self-sacrifice at the battle of Maniaki against Ibrahim Pasha...
