The Revolution of 1821 was the dynamic expression of the Greeks' pursuit of shaking off the centuries-old Ottoman yoke. At the same time, there was an event with wider implications, not only at the level of political and diplomatic processes, but also at the level of mobilizing public opinion and a large part of the intellectual world in Europe and America. The trumpet of freedom conjured all the subservient race. The insurgent Greeks united against the common enemy, but were soon divided, and thus jeopardized the success of their Struggle. The recognition of their independence was founded on their own victories and sacrifices, but it would not have become final without the decisive intervention of the international factor.
