Greece’s Independence Day March 25, 1821

On March 25, 1821, Greece began its war of independence, to free the people from 400 years of oppression under the rule of the Ottoman Turkish government. The Turks tried to erase the people’s language, culture, history, artifacts, and Christian religion.

Sound familiar? Any relevance to present day problems? I’d say yes.

Long Live Greece!
