	History of modern Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the 1890s Greece was virtually bankrupt, and poverty in the rural areas and the islands was eased only by large-scale emigration to the United States.
		Greece, as a poor country dependent on agricultural exports, was hard hit by the Great Depression of the 1930s.
		From 1952 to late 1963, Greece was governed by conservative parties: the Greek Rally of Marshal Alexander Papagos, and its successor, the National Radical Union (ERE) of Constantine Karamanlis.

		Philip's allies in Greece deserted him and in 179 he was decisively defeated at the Battle of Cynoscephalae by the Roman proconsul Titus Quinctius Flaminius.
		The history of the Byzantine Empire is described by scholar August Heisenberg as the history "of the Roman state of the Greek nation, that turned Christian".
		During the 19th and early 20th centuries, in a series of wars with the Ottomans, Greece sought to enlarge its boundaries to include the ethnic Greek population of the Ottoman Empire, slowly growing in territory and population until it reached its present configuration in 1947.

	ISSUES IN THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF POST-BYZANTINE SCIENCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		For Modern Greek philology, the history of science was part of the history of philosophy for one of two reasons: either the history of science was considered a branch of the "naturfilosophie", or the pure philosophic work of Greek scholars prevailed on their scientific works (Sat has, 1868; Dimaras, 1975; Papanoutsos, 1953; Voumvlinopoulos, 1966).
		Another indirect approach to the history of science is the history of the Education made by Greek historians of the 19th and the 20th centuries (Gritsopoulos, 1966, 1971; Evagelidis 1936).
		The fact that history of science was either part of the history of philosophy, or sociology, or history of education created an anti-history of science position in the Greek intellectual milieu.

	The Coup in Athens
		This decision eased the dilemma of Greece's Western allies, who had expressed varying degrees of disapproval of the new regime, over the question of diplomatic recognition, for it was argued that their ambassadors were accredited to the king rather than to any particular government.
		Indeed, so grateful were Greece's shipowners for the concessions they were granted, in an effort to persuade them to register their ships under the Greek flag rather than under flags of convenience, that in March 1972 they elected Papadopoulos president for life of the Association of Greek Shipowners.
		Some of the contracts awarded by the regime were on highly dubious terms and it subsequently emerged that, for all the public denunciations of the corruption of the old politicians, some members of the regime, at least, were unable to resist the temptation to line their own and their families' pockets with public money.

	Issues: Perspectives (April 1998): Classifying Greece
		One burden has been the legacy of an ancient past which was a recognized field of historical inquiry even before the modern state of Greece emerged; the ancient past has cast a long shadow over the study of modern Greece.
		As someone who has published books and articles on all periods of Greek history, I find it inconceivable that ancient and Byzantine Greece require ten fields while the study of Greece during all of the modern epoch is not deemed worthy of one.
		As you know, until the recent revisions, the history of modern Greece was conjoined with that of Italy.

		D. Kapodistrias was by temperament an autocrat and he believed that Greece could not afford the luxury of a democracy.
		E. Kapodistrias' policies were founded on a belief that the future of Greece depended on maintaining the good will of the Powers and that the internal institutions of Greece had to be created and strengthened.
		Greece had been under foreign occupation for at least 400 years and the tradition was very strong that the "government" was a bad thing--to be opposed in any way possible.

		The Chronicle is famous in spite of its historical unreliability because of its lively description of life in the feudal community and because of the character of the language which reflects the rapid transition from Medieval to Modern Greek.
		After the conquest of Constantinople by the forces of the Fourth Crusade (1204), two groups of Franks undertook the occupation of the Morea and created a loose alliance of the Greek population under a Latin (Western) autocrat, as the Principality of Achaea, centered within the Peleponnesos, which the Latins, following local practice, called the Morea.
		Fallmerayer based his thesis on the spread of Slavic placenames in mainland Greece, for little written documentation survives from the "Dark Ages" there.
