		Alexandros Ypsilantis, a Greek general in the service of Russian emperor Alexander I, accepted leadership of the society.

		Alexandros Ypsilantis led an uprising in Moldovlachia to divert the Ottoman Turkish forces to the north, sending his brother Dimitrios to lead an uprising in the south in Greece.
		It was decided that Alexandros Ypsilantis would take control of the uprising until the city of Tripolitsa was captured.
		However, the two persons who Ypsilanti trusted most were jealous of him, and in their jealousy did all in their power to cause difficulties for him.

	Ypsilanti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		General Demetrios Ypsilantis (1793-1832) after who the city of Ypsilanti, Michigan was named, was the son of Constantinos Ypsilantis (1760-1816) a Greek from Russia and the Grand Dragoman and Prince of Moldavia and Wallachia.
		Demetrios Ypsilantis, the second son of Constantinos Ypsilantis, was born in Constantinople, grew up in Russia and later trained for eight years in the Paris Military Academy.
		Looking at the statute of General Demetrios Ypsilantis, or as he is referred to affectionately by members of the City government of Ypsilanti as “Demetrios” it is touching to experience how the people of Ypsilanti have aligned their identity with modern Greece.

	The Greek Revolution (1821-1822)
		Although prominent armatoles and prelates from Macedonia (Yeorgakis Olympios; Ioannis Farmakis; Chrysanthos, the metropolitan of Serres) had been initiated prior to 1820 into the activities of the 'Philiki Etaireia', preparations for the revolution were nonetheless inadequate in the region, particularly in western Macedonia.
		There, the regular passage of Turkish troops engaged in besieging Ali Pasha in Epirus and the absence in the spring of 1821 of most of the local leaders (they had grouped around Alexandros Ypsilantis in the Danubian principalities) limited the chances of success.
		The weight of the rebellion fell upon Emmanouil Pappas, an entrepreneur from Serres and a fervent patriot, who was, however, inexperienced in military matters.

		Under the leadership of Alexandros Ypsilantis, an officer in the TsarÕs army, the society decided in 1820 that the uprising should begin in the Peloponnese.
		Initial plans changed, however, and Ypsilantis Ðtaking advantage of the Ottoman militaryÕs entanglement in a campaign against Ali Pasa, Muslim warlord in EpirusÐ launched a small army across the river Prouth at the border between Moldavia and Bessarabia.
		Nevertheless Ypsilantis' heroism served as a source of encouragement for an all-out revolt against the Turks in Greece; as did also his declaration "Fight for faith and fatherland", invoking the shade of Miltiadis, Themistokles, Epaminondas and Leonidas in the struggle to bring "freedom to the classical land of Greece".
