Excerpt from New Greece
After half a century of existence, the New Greece created by England, France, and Russia, reckoning up her achievements and acquisitions, can find little further cause for gratitude to her earlier patrons. She may boast of a considerable development, political as well as material; but, save the annexation of the Ionian Islands, she has received no extension, and no great encouragement, from any of the European Powers. She has been left very much to her own devices; but she has been speedily snubbed whenever these devices tended towards the completion of the work of 1830.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive examination of modern Greece's modest development since its founding in the 1830s. Following its arduous battle for independence from the Ottoman Empire, Greece is shown to have been left to its own devices by the European powers that had initially supported its cause. This book examines the obstacles Greece has faced throughout its history, both as a result of its troubled relationship with Turkey and the unfavorable policies of Britain, the country most responsible for Greece's independence. The author argues that had Greece been given the support it was promised, it could have progressed further. Instead, it faced constant challenges that prevented it from attaining the prominence it aspired to. Through a combination of historical research and analysis, the author offers a thorough exploration of a small nation's struggle to overcome adversity and contribute to the broader European landscape.
