The Greek War of Independence (1821–1829), also commonly known as The Greek Revolution, was a successful war waged by the Greeks to win independence for Greece from the Ottoman Empire. After a long and bloody struggle, and with the aid of the Great Powers, independence was finally granted by the Treaty of Constantinople in July 1832. The Greeks were thus the first of the Ottoman Empire’s subject peoples to secure recognition as an independent sovereign power. The anniversary of Independence Day (March 25, 1821) is a National Day in Greece, which falls on the same day as the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. Despite the Greek War of Independence not actually beginning on the 25th of March, it eventually became the official date on which the anniversary of the Revolution was celebrated.
Some of the most well-known personalities of the Greek Revolution are Laskarina Bouboulina, Athanasios Diakos, Yannis Makriyannis, Markos Botsaris, Theodoros Kolokotronis and Manto Mavrogenous.
The newly established Greek state would become a springboard for further expansion, and over the course of a century Macedonia, Crete, Epirus, the Aegean and other parts of Greece would also gain their freedom and unite with the new Greek state.
