Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Greece had been part of the Ottoman Empire since the fifteenth century. The growth of revolutionary nationalism in Europe sparked a Greek struggle for independence that began in 1821.

  2. Greek nationalists were supported by Greeks in exile and by many West Europeans who admired ancient Greek culture. Poets and artists praised Greece as the cradle of European civilisation and mobilised public opinion against a Muslim empire. The English poet Lord Byron raised funds and fought in the war, dying of fever in 1824.

    1 mark

  3. The Treaty of Constantinople (1832) recognised Greece as an independent nation. This strengthened nationalist feeling among educated Europeans.
