Many of us have studied ancient Greece and have read the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer or Plato’s Republic. Others have visited Greece as tourists or are of Greek ancestry. What many do not know is the history of the modern state and the development of the nation as a proud member of the European Union and the many crises and wars that have challenged its very existence in the 19th and 20th centuries. This course will take you through the story of the formation of Greece as a nation state after 400 years of foreign domination and trace its heroic battles to enter the modern world.
