Ep. 139 - The Greek Revolution

This week we discuss the further adventures of Lord Thomas Cochrane in an extremely interesting and little discussed time period. In the midst of the enlightenment, freemason groups and idealistic liberal ideologues sought to create a new national identity invoking the philosophy and culture of the ancient Greeks and project it onto the rural Christian people of the western Ottoman Empire to create a new state out of the carnage. With help from LARPing western European liberals, Lord Thomas Cochrane and a whole lot of grit the new Hellenic people defeated their oppressors and set the stage for several massive conflicts in Europe to come. We give a thorough political analysis of the period in signature fashion.
