GREEK NATION RISES UP
Nationalist movements in Greece
Last Monday, 22 of February, Greek citizens started to revolt against the Ottoman empire in an attempt to achive the Independence because they aren’t satisfied with the actual goverment situation. The Ottoman empire has been ruling Greece since the 15th century and greeks want this situation to change.
In the last few years, nationalism has been growing in Greece, as we just saw with the declaration of independende that the Greek nation decided to make.
Greek citizents want to have a full sovereignty system, they think that the nation should govern by itself. They think it is very important to preserve the nations culture, and that is why they proclaimed Independence, they dont want to be influenced by other cultures, like the ottoman´s one.
This declaration of Independence has led to a very wide spread of nationalist movements through Europe, and we just have to wait for more movements like the one mentioned.
