<p align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">The Greek revolution of 1821 was a great promise in an era of conservative rule and diminished expectations. It was not simply a nationalistic movement; it was predominantly a political
and social uprising which disrupted the domination of autocracy and totalitarianism established after the defeat of Napoleon and the Conference of Vienna in 1815. It renewed the great promises of the American and French revolutions and brought their ideas
for the first time into Eastern Europe and the Balkans, accelerating thus the process of fragmenting the surviving medieval empires by introducing the ideas of self-determination, self-government and citizenship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
