Kapodistria was not his birthname...real name"Gjika"...it became his name later when he was adopted,or his parents were killed on purpose so they could "adopt" him and his title -fortune...(istrea-kapo-)(nowdays Croatia).

@Alexandru Tiță Well said. Even though ancient Macedonians were as Greek as other Ancient Greek tribes, since they spoke Greek, worshipped Greek gods and participated in the Olympics, the scenario of them being non Greek wouldn’t make those Slavs Macedonian. On the contrary I would add that the Romanians are more closely related to Macedonians because their ancestors the Daco-Thracians neighbored Macedonia, at a time when the Slavs still lived in northeastern Europe.

As a Bulgarian I didn't know that the Greeks fought so hard. I have always thought that they were obliterated by the Ottomans and saved by the Brits and the Russians at the last moment. This makes me think that I know much more about Germany and France in comparisson to Greece and Turkey which are our neighbours. Thank you for increasing my knowledge about that!

When - during the greek revolution - admiral Codrington suggested to Kolokotronis that the greeks should come to terms with the Turks, Kolokotronis replied: "Our king did not come to terms", referring to the last roman emperor and the fall of Constantinople. This was Constantine Palaiologos' legacy to the spirit of the nation for the years of slavery to come. No surrender

Must be noted that in Greece we celebrate the start of a war, hence we have two big national days. One for the start of the War of Independence in March of 1821 and one for the start of WW II in October of 1940. This fact outlines the importance of our struggle for freedom regardless of the outcome. 🙏✝🔵⚪

Ioannis Kapodistrias also played a prominent role in Switzerland's institutional reorganisation and in asserting Switzerland's permanent status as a neutral country.
Evelina1995 3 aylar önce
@J G You are wrong! Ioannis Kapodistrias was his real name or better say Ioannis Vitto! The father of Ioannis Kapodistrias was Italian/Slovenian mixed nobleman, his paternal grandfather was an Italian Aristocrat with surname Vitto & his surname is written in Libro D Oro the book of Aristocratic origin Venetians & even Ioannis Kapodistrias is written in Libro D' Oro! His paternal grandmother was a Slovenian woman from a wealthy Slovenian family of traders from the Slovenian port city of Kapodistria or known as today the modern Slovenian port city Kope! Kapodiastria's mother was of Greek Cypriot decent! So Ioannis Kapodistrias had a Greek Cypriot mother & an Italian/Slovenian father, he was a greatly educated & capable man & because of his 3 origins he was a polyglot also!

@Aromanian-Nationalist Well as I know, the Russians wanted to help to the point that they no longer wanted to help, to the point that they were dreaming in fact for a non independent Romania and for more Romanian land, so they could link up their territory with Constantinopol if they would have managed to conquer it. Also from what I know the Romanian army was at that time at a comparable level with the Prussian army, which was one of the best, if not the best in the world. It was Romania's intervention that gave itself independence and saved Tzar Alexander's ass in the battle angainst the Ottomans. Both the Romanian and Russian armies were led to victory by King Carol I of Romania and the Ottomans surrendered to the Romanians. This is how Romania gain independence. France did helped, yes, that is why to this day we are still thankful to France.

The assassination of Kapodistrias marked the end of the short era of Greek politicians being independent from foreign powers as well as nationalist policies being enacted. From what I have heard, the English have not opened their archives that concern that event and the whole situation was very suspicious from the beginning.

No, they weren't officially named like that. Their opponents gave them those names, supposedly because each one of them served the interests of one of the three great powers. In practice however, each one of them often advocated or acted against the interests of the great power it supposedly represented. For example, the "French party" supported a Greek attack against the Ottomans during the Crimean war. The French were allied to the Ottomans and even sent troops to occupy Athens in order for the Greeks to not attack.

Fantastic video as always! After the Naval Battle of Navarino the creation of a greek state was inevitable. The only questions left to be answered were its status, independent or autonomous, and its size. Kapodistrias had therefore the titanic mission of negotiating with the Great Powers and take as much as possible. It was not an easy task since the Europeans had their one interests in the region. As mentioned in the video Wellington wanted an autonomous state restricted in the Peloponnese and until the very end viewed the entire affair as pacification of an ottoman province. On September 1828 the British, French and Russian ambassadors met on the island of Poros to discuss the future borders. Thanks to Russo-turkish war Kapodistrias succeeded in having them agree on the Ambrakikos-Pagasitikos line with the possible inclusion of Crete and Samos. Nonetheless London rejected it and a protocol signed on the British capital restricted the borders in the Peloponnese and the Cyclades. But because of Russian victories it was amended a year later. The new London Protocol accepted the Poros Conference recommendations on the borders and made the state autonomous under a hereditary christian prince. After three months of negotiations they agreed on Leopold of Saxe-Goburg-Gotha. The Sultan was forced to accept it with the Treaty of Andrianople on September, 1829. The Russian victory alarmed the British and the French who now proposed full independence. Finally on February 3rd, 1830 the Great Powers signed a new protocol in the UK that officially recognized an independent greek state with Leopold as its king. But it was not the end of the story. The German prince had an extensive correspondence with Kapodistrias and was fully aware of the bad state of Greece. This and the exclusion of Crete made him reject the offer. Kapodistrias' assassination and the July Revolution of the same year put everything on hold until the 1832 treaty of Constantinople which agreed on the more favorable Arta-Volos line and made the Bavarian prince Otto the new king. Nonetheless Crete was given to Mohammad Ali while Samos became an autonomous state under ottoman vassalage.

It was great that you mentioned the naval Battle of Itea that took place in 30 September of 1827 (few days before Navarino) and drove away Ibrahim's fleet from the Gulf of Corinth, though it's important to point out a mistake. It wasn't Richard Church in charge of the Greek squadron who defeated the Egyptian fleet, but another British, personally i consider him one the most important and greatest Philllene of all, Frank Abney Hastings, commander of the the flagship "Karteria". And one important detail "Karteria" was a steam-powered warship. So in the Greek War of Independence, for the first time in the world millitary history, it was used a steam-powered ship in battle.

This video doesn't do Kapodistrias justice. It makes it seem that he was just some tyrant who came out of the blue to rule Greece. However in my opinion he was the greatest Greek to ever live, Due to his contribution to the cause,in whichever position he was in. He founded schools, museums, hospitals and made education mandatory. He also ended piracy in the Aegean. His death was one of the worst things that happened to the Greek world. Should he have lived even 5 more years, Greece would have been a completely different country

@Demetrius Stiakkogiannakes I don't care whether the western powers did not accept them as Romans. The eastern Romans themselves did accept themselves as Romans. And everybody else also accepted them as Romans. You are literally repeating Germanic propaganda. The eastern Romans would have been upset to hear you denying their Roman origins, calling them Greeks. Even they themselves knew that they had multi-ethnic origins, it is laughable to say that they were Hellenes and Byzantines when they never accepted or even used such terms. They had Roman ethnic and Roman national identity. Some Romans like Laskaris tried to argue for Greek national identity, but it was never accepted. It really is that simple.

I hope you could cover the battles of this series, once you put all the episodes together or put an extra content with them since the Greek War of Independence didn't just end in 1827 as it says but continued well for at least two years with with I believe(I could be wrong though) two other battles and during the September of 1829, the Battle of Petra which was a Greek Victory ended the War of Independence.

Yes, the Greek War of Independence is concluded with the Battle of Petra in 12 September 1829, since the war continued for other two years after Navarino, with many battles taking place in order to free Central Greece.

I hope that you will provide a comprehensive coverage of the events that followed the defeat of the Ottomans in the battle of Navarino This war not only resulted in the independence of Greece, but also had other consequences for the rest of the Mediterranean countries The Ottoman fleet of the Ottoman Turkish province of north africa "Regency of Algiers" participated in the Battle of Navarino and was completely destroyed, which led to the easy French invasion of Algeria in 1830, and this led to the tension of Moroccan-French relations, which soon developed into a war (Isli War of 1844), where the Kingdom of Morocco was defeated in this war, and Morocco lost the military prestige it had gained since its victory over Portugal in the Battle of three king(Alcácer Quibir 1578) The French invasion of Ottoman Algeria and the Moroccan-French war of 1844, then the Moroccan-Spanish War of 1860, can be considered the beginning of (the scramble for Africa) and the division of the continent between the European powers. The independence of Greece also led in a way to the growth of nationalist thought in Europe and the rebellion of the peoples from the European absolute monarchies and the old laws, and this was evident in the outbreak of the Springtime of the Peoples in 1848, One of the results of the growth of the nationalist ideology (Italian and German unifications), as well as the independence of the rest of the Balkan countries, such as Serbia and Bulgaria, from the crumbling traditional empires of Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans Of course, the most important result of this thought is the assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince and the outbreak of WWI

If anyone wants to know what followed i will share some history. Due to the fact that King Otto was underaged the Great Powers decided that a reagency should rule the Kingdom of Greece until the king comes of age. This roughly lasted about 3 years. The harsh reality is that the greek people were all but free in those 3 years as the reagency was was an almost tyranical resime that impossed their will by imprisoning, torturing and sentecing to death all those who did not agree to their way of rule. In all this plight the King had no say and could do nothing to help the situation (though little changed when he assumed power). Furthermore, the main bulk of the millitary and the city patrol of the capital (now Athens) was of bavarian soldiers and not greek, making easy to understand how this situation played out in the minds of the greek population. Ultimately King Otto was forced to ubdicate in 1862 by a revolutionary greek force. The Great Powers then decided to give the crown this time to a dannish Prince who became King George I and had a relatively successful reigh from 1863 to 1913 when he was assassinated.

For example, it was the French (with British consideration) who arranged for members of the Mavromichali family to assassinate Kapodistrias, promising their family to rise as autocrats thus replacing the capable diplomat. There would be no Greek state if Kapodistrias was not successful in his Russian campaign, convincing Tsar Nicholas to enter the war in Greece’s favour. Whilst Greeks should forever be thankful to its Philhellenes whose efforts were largely selfless, the governments of the British and French commonwealths are in large part to blame for the chaos which young Greece experienced during the years of revolution and shortly thereafter. Particularly the government in London, which profited from immensely high interest rates they imposed on the financially devastated revolutionary nation. In addition to gaining independence, the Kingdom of Greece was still beholden to the Ottoman sultanate for several years; paying the Ottomans reparations for lands lost. There is so much in the fine print of this history. K&G thanks for covering this subject!

It should be said that the last battle in the war of independence took place in 1829 at a place called Petra in Biotia resulting in Hellenic victory.

That's a great episode! Would you consider doing the civil war in the mount lebanon in 1830-1840? And discuss the issues between that time and 1975? Then do the lebanese civil war 1975-1990? It's a bunch of very volatile wars that have lots of politics and religious tensions...

@cram w Please visit Nafplion. It is the first capital of the Greek state, and the most beautiful town in mainland Greece. There's the amazing Venetian fortresses of Mpourtzi and Palamidi (where Kolokotronis was imprisoned by his enemies). Also in the Church of Saint Spyridon, you can still see the bullethole from the gun that killed Ioannis Kapodistrias. Excellent food, beaches and weather are guaranteed :)))

It was very nice, I would like to add a few of things. The frigate Hellas was burnt by the Hydriot admiral Andreas Miaoulis. Something that later had regretted. Great Powers and especially Great Britain had already decided that Greece would become a kingdom since the protocol of London in 1830. That means that Britain had already overthrown Kapodistrias. For Britain and France Kapodistrias was a Russian agent, so they couldn't afford him. According to professor Dimitrios Stathakopoulos this was a very important blow for the legitimacy of Kapodistrias. There are many other sources in Greece which they doubt the official narration of his assassination. It was a critical blow for Greece and it seems that even if he had made many internal enemies, he was beloved by the people, because one of the assassins Konstantinos Mauronihalis was caught by the people and literally cut him to pieces. The other Georgios Mavromichalis ended up in French embassy. The French ambassador was forced to surrender him, even if he didnt want, under the pressure of the crowd, which was threatened to enter violently in the embassy. Overall Greeks are born to decide democracy for themselves, even in the darkest eras.

This was beginning of the end of the Ottoman Empire as other nations would follow in liberation movements further fragmentizing the remaining ottoman territories. These liberation movements would also draw powerful Western nations into Ottoman affairs and would intensify into the next century leading to the end of the Ottoman Empire in the 1920s.

Thanks again very much for the video and the great work and effort you put to cover the Greek War of Independence. Ioannis Kapodistrias was ironically the first and by far the greatest political leader that the new Greek State had since nowdays. His work was immense. Economy, education, the reform of the Greek army forces so they could liberate Central Greece with the Battle of Petra of Boetia in 12 September 1829 conclunding victoriously the War of Independence. Unfortunately Kapodistrias's assasinaton was the last chance of Greece to become a truely independent state.

@Cecilia Venizelos is second to Kapodistrias. Because Kapodistrias had to build a state from the absolute zero. After Kapodistrias and Venizelos, there are no other political leaders of Greece.

Relax. There are tensions in every country, it's just that foreign powers capitalize on the tensions existing in specific geostratigic countries. Kapodistrias's assasination was instigated by the British. Ukraine's current fight against Russia was instigated by the U.S. Yes Greeks don't come easily to terms with another opinion, but they have been historically (for the most part and until this day) governed by marionettes of greater powers.

In this video it is being explained the reason why Great Britain and France changed their mind and demanded the Sultan for an autonomous Greece (14:09), one not under any influence of the Russian Tsar. Kapodistrias served as the Foreign Minister of the Russian Empire, a *very* successful one too. It should *also be noted* that the British files about Kapodistrias, *after 200 years, they are not yet declassified.* So, despite all odds and claims, there're still reasons why there should be *a debate* on who was responsible for J.Kapodistrias' assassination, and thus on who actually did killed him, as the two members of Mavromichalis family that were charged never did they accepted the accusations, *whereas* the "mafia-like clan" called in this video, *would have used simple/unknown people to publicly(!) assassinate Kapodistrias, and surely not the most respected members of the Mavromichalis family which they lost.* Kapodistrias' assassination was indeed a triple hit: one to (of course) Kapodistrias who he was Greece's most promising political asset and one of the most distinguished politicians and diplomats of Europe; one to the most fighting experienced Greek tribe (the Maniots), with influence to warlords, which gave it all to the Greek Cause (Mavromichalis family as all Maniot familes came decimated out of this war) and who demanded political and financial autonomy (they were wrong demanding it if you ask me - nontheless they did) a hit which devasted the Mavromichalis family which couldnt influence the Greek matters anymore; and of course the third hit was to Greece itself, as, with Kapodistrias and the Maniots out of the way, the two great Powers managed to impose their own regime in Greece keeping it in total control. Freedom is not granted for free, surely not back then...

As a Turkish, I would like to say thank you @Kings and Generals for this informative and objective series. It looks like Ottoman's have made every military and diplomatic mistake that is possible in the book. They not only lost lands but weakened against Russia and other superpowers. In my opinion, they had better accepted the treaty in the first video that gives Greek's autonomy. They wouldn't lose much tax but could have saved many troops and gold that they didn't have. Greek's fought bravely and strategically to achieve independence. It looks like Greek's got the international support they long anticipated not because superpowers acknowledge their cause, but to ensure it will stay under their management while doomed Ottomans were living their final years. I just want to correct a mistake that I have spotted. The flag you have used as Ottoman is actually the Turkish Republic flag that wasn't used until 1923. Meanwhile, it would be great if you can make a series about the Turkish Independence war too.

It is always interesting for me as greek to see an impartial documentary related to our national struggles and wars. In every nation the history that is taught is not impartial and its cause is mostly to create a national spirit by describing glorious achievements rather the real backstabbing etc. For that reason and also for the excellent job that you do in this channel thank you!

From wgat I remember from university the historiography is also extremely biased as well, not just what is presented in schools. It's mostly either nationalists that idealise what happened or communists that downgrade the national and ethnic character of the rebellion and focus on the social. From what I have seen this period of history is used as a means to reinforce political propaganda even amongst researchers.

As a Greek friend, I thank you greatly for those series and more. I learned much from you. But I think that you have make a mistake. Kapodistrian never sink frigate Hellas. Miaoulis (leader of Greek rebellion fleet amd supporter of Hydriot assembly) sunk it. Hellas was a new frigate of national Greek fleet under Kapodistrian's generals. Many years later Miaoulis said: "I am so sorry for the sunk of Hellas. It was a great mistake". Fun fact Miaoulis had been caught by Nelson's ship when he was returning from Napoleon's France where he had delivered many tons of food. (Many Greeks became rich and strong by bypass British fleet and giving supplies to France). When Miaoulis caught by Nelson, Nelson asked him: "If you were me, how you would punish a captain who bypass my ships and gives supplies to my enemmy?" And Miaoulis said: "I would hang him at the tallest part of the ship" Nelson was so enthousiast from Miaoulis response that he let him free

@Piyasa Bülteni I do get your point as well but the thing is not all of the Turks have greek origins there many who have armenian arabic and some have actual routes and let's not forget the 21 percent Kurds and the other immigrants. Obviously not all of the Greeks are pure blood I never said we all are 100 percent Greeks unlike the Albanians who bealive that but am pretty sure the majority has greek blood and lastly you said Turks are the true inheritors of the greek culture well honestly am kinda suprised to hear that and it is true that Turks have a lot of greek cities and monuments but they don't speak the greek languege and they don't learn greek history if you want to admire greek history I have no problem with that but am pretty sure the majority of Turks think the Turkish rare is superior and the greek race has bad history

@paulsh20 I get your point, so turks are mixed but greeks are somehow pure for thousands of years. your logic goes both ways, if you call "modern anatolians" somehow greek, with the same logic I can call modern greeks as christian turks. because the only difference between two people is religion. And with the same logic, modern anatolians which prefer calling themselves turks, are true inheritors of ancient civilizations, just as modern greeks. therefore the whole national narrative of modern greeks collapse with your logic.
