Us Currency Silver Certificate

As the politically and socially embattled state of Greece is faced with financial chaos and austerity measures, it seems that it was only a matter of time until the past caught up with the present. Perhaps the precursory signs should have been the frustration of a people and, eventually its resignation towards the complacent corruption of the elite.

Perspective on Greece Modern History

Greece was repressed for some 500 years under the Ottoman Empire, whose collapse was preceded and followed by the craving of tribal groups to secure their own cultural territory. But, Ottoman forces were merciless in resisting their demise. Ethnic cleansing, in particular, and other mayhems of rampant anarchy, in general, subjected Greek people to a life of despair. This harsh reality is vividly depicted in the context of a historical novel by Jason C. Mavrovitis, Remember Us, published in 2007.

After the first declaration of independence by freedom fighters in 1822, Greece became an independent kingdom in 1830. But, freedom did not bring stability. Greece had to start over many times, each one with additional challenges such as newly acquired territories, and eventually the repatriation of one million landless peasants, ethnic Greeks who did not speak Greek, and who replaced the Turks and Bulgarians removed from the North of Greece. Integration was barely in the process when a series of trials left the country in shambles:
