America & the War for Greek Independence
America & the War for Greek Independence

Ζη’τω η Ελλάδα!! Long live Greece!! March 25 is Greek Independence Day.

In th 1820s, American Philhellenes (φιλ-Ε΄λληνες)- friends of Greece - supported the Greek fight for liberty from 400 hundred years of Ottoman subjugation, despite the US governments non-intervention policy. “Greek Fire,” the passionate obsession with the war, swept through the US, rallying its people to the Greek cause. American citizens raised money for food, medical supplies, and arms.Young American men joined their European counterparts as soldiers fighting a war for liberty, including a diplomat’s son and an enslaved Black man who became heroes in the Greek War for Independence.
