The Birth of a Nation-State Seasons and Episodes

12/24/2020Season 1 - 14 episodes
#1 | 12/24/2020Towards the Fall of Constantinople
1071. In Manzikert, part of modern Turkey, a new Muslim dynasty, the Seljuks, manages to dominate in a battle against the Byzantines - a historical event that marks the beginning of the end for the Byzantine Empire.
#2 | 12/31/2020Sacred War
Following a 53-day siege, Constantinople falls into the hands of the Ottomans on March 29, 1453. With the capital of the Byzantine Empire now taken, it’s only a matter of time before Greece is also conquered.
#3 | 01/07/2021Administration and Economy in Ottoman Greece
In order to fill up the empire’s treasure chests after conquering new territories, Ottomans imposed heavy taxes to their non-Muslim subjects. In Greece, tax collection was as ruthless as it could be.
#4 | 01/14/2021Education and the Role of the Church
Under the Ottoman rule, a long period of intellectual darkness began in Greece. With almost all educated people and scientists having fled to Europe, the difficult work of the preservation of Greek letters fell on the Church.
#5 | 01/21/2021Language and Culture
With intellectuals away from Greece, Church took on the role of the watchful guardian of the Greek language. But equally important for the spreading of Greek language and culture were folk poetry and songs.
#6 | 01/28/2021Everyday Life in Ottoman Greece
Before the Revolution of 1821, Greece’s population was a mosaic of people of different religions. Amid the extremely difficult life conditions and numerous restrictions, Greeks tried to preserve their traditional way of life.
#7 | 02/04/2021Pre-Revolutionary Movements
Since the fall of Constantinople, Greeks staged 123 smaller or bigger revolutions, which were usually instigated by the great European powers. All of them were drowned in blood, but they paved the way for the 1821 Revolution.
#8 | 02/11/2021Intellectuals’ Struggle & the Greek Diaspora
With their modern ideas and activities, Greek intellectuals and expatriates prepared the ground for the burst of the Revolution in 1821. Two of the most emblematic figures were Adamantios Korais and Rigas Velestinlis.
#9 | 02/18/2021The Way to Revolution
Beside Greek intellectuals, crucial role to the preparation of the Revolution played the numerous secret organizations, with Filiki Eteria being the most prominent, as well as certain areas of Greece, like Mani and Souli.
#10 | 02/25/2021The Greek Revolution (Part 1)
On February 24, 1821, Alexandros Ipsilantis, who has taken on the leadership of Filiki Eteria after Kapodistrias’ refusal, declares the beginning of the revolution in Iasi. But the heart of the Struggle beats in the Peloponnese.
#11 | 03/04/2021The Greek Revolution (Part 2)
Conflicts over power and the management of British loans gave rise to civil wars between rebelled Greeks. Finally, the victories of Kolokotronis and Karaiskakis as well as the tragedy in Missolonghi reignited the Struggle.
#12 | 03/11/2021Sea and Revolution
The fact that the Revolution of 1821 was the only one to have employed the navy was the key to its success. Hydra, Spetses and Psara led the war at sea and their famous fire ships stroke some heavy blows to the Ottoman fleet.
#13 | 03/18/2021Free Greece and Kapodistias
In a very short time period, Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first governor of Greece, managed to create a state from scratch. But, his conflict with the Opposition and the traditional social ranks made his position precarious.
#14 | 03/25/2021From Kapodistrias’ Murder to King Otto
The period of anarchy that followed Kapodistrias’ murder destroyed almost everything he had created. To fill his gap, the Great Powers chose 17-year-old prince Otto to become the first ruler of the newly-found Greek state.
