Χρόνια Πολλά Έλληνες. Χρόνια Πολλά Ελλάδα (Happy Birthday Greeks. Happy Birthday Greece) 🇬🇷😀

Each year on March 25, Greeks all over the world celebrate Greek Independence Day, which is a national holiday in Greece.

Today marks the 200th anniversary of Greek Independence Day. This is when Greeks remember their long struggle against the Ottoman Empire, an effort that eventually leads to Greece’s independence. Today, in fact, marks the beginning of the Greek War for Independence, not the end.

The Ottoman Empire ruled for around four hundred years, and this wasn’t easy for the Greeks. Those who were unable to flee Greece and establish new lives in Western Europe suffered. Turkish reign was oppressive for many reasons.

One problem was that they had an apparent disregard for Greece’s glorious past. At one point, they used the Parthenon to store munitions and didn’t treat it as the beautiful, historical landmark it really was. Another problem was that Orthodox Christians weren’t able to express their faith in public. Since most of Greece is Orthodox, this caused a feeling of unease amongst the Greek people.

Those are just two examples of problems that arose between the Turks and the Greeks. Generally, because the Greeks felt oppressed, this caused unrest throughout occupied Greece. There were several resistance movements that formed through the duration of Turkish rule. However, it wasn’t until March 25, 1821, that these movements posed any real threat to the Ottoman Empire.

So what was different about the act of resistance that would eventually lead to Greece’s freedom? Well, there were several factors at play. First, the Greek people were finally tired of Turkish rule, so they organised their resources and formed a resistance movement that was finally successful.

Ήταν 28η Οκτωβρίου 1940: Η ημέρα που η Ελλάδα είπε ΟΧΙ στην υποταγή, στέλνοντας το μήνυμα πως όταν παλεύει κανείς με την ψυχή του, όταν αγωνίζεται για την ελευθερία του, όσο μεγάλα και αν είναι τα εμπόδια, όσες θυσίες και αν απαιτηθούν, στο τέλος θα βγει νικητής. Από τότε η Ελλάδα κάθε τέτοια ημέρα γιορτάζει την επέτειο εισόδου της στον πόλεμο του '40, ενώ οι περισσότερες χώρες συνηθίζουν να γιορτάζουν την λήξη ενός πολέμου, και την έλευση της ειρήνης. Χρόνια πολλά Ελλάδα. Χρόνια πολλά Έλληνες. #greece🇬🇷 #Hellas #Greece #Thessaloniki #skg #giorti #parelasi #makedonia #greekarmy #greekflag #worldwar2 #proudtobegreek #greece💙 #1940 #history #hellas #worldwarii #macedonia #salonique #skgstories #northerngreece #flag #pride #army #compassgr #wecare #greeks #no #oxi #athens COMPASS | We care (at Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4J6X9aFR3u/?igshid=1mgvi2m7686z0
