Abstract

This research examines the key factors that shaped Greece's path to independence and the establishment of the modern Greek state, focusing on the period leading up to the Treaty of London’s Additional Protocol in August 1832. It investigates the interplay of military strategy, diplomatic efforts, and international negotiations critical to achieving independence from Ottoman rule. By analyzing treaties from the London Protocol (1828) to the Additional Protocol of 1832, the research underscores the pivotal role of military victories, the tactical training of Greek forces, and subsequent diplomatic successes in defining Greece's modern statehood. It delves into the turbulent political landscape of 19th-century Greece and the external influences that shaped its outcome, illustrating the intertwined nature of military success and diplomacy in the nation’s struggle for sovereignty.
