The small Ionian colonies of the Eastern Aegean Sea were swallowed up by the mighty Achaemenid Empire. When the city of Athens helped organize the Ionian Revolts, it brought the entire wrath of the Persian Empire. Xerxes assembled the entire Persian Empire and marched them across the Bosphorus to burn Athens to the ground.

The History of Modern Greece covers the events of the Greek People
from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of
Independence in 1821-1832 to the modern day. We are a
father-and-son team. We are not historians, but we are hardcore
fans of history. We embarked on a mission to understand exactly
how the Ancient Greek civilization transformed into the modern
nation we see today. To prepare ourselves for the journey,
we purchased dozens of textbooks, watched numberless documentaries,
and listened to as many historical podcasts as we could find.

Come and join us on our journey to discover the History of Modern Greece.
