As Romanticism becomes ever more popular in 1820's Europe, Greek culture emerges as a fad. Philhellenism, aka "love of Greek culture," would gain adherents amongst some of the biggest names of the day like Jeremy Bentham, Percy Shelly, Delacroix, and Rossini. But the most famous Philhellene of them all, Lord Byron, would fully take the plunge, arriving in Greece in 1824.For helpful maps, photos, and other media, check out the website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://20thcenturyrevolutions.com">20thcenturyrevolutions.com</a>Patreon: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://patreon.com/20thCenturyRevolutions">patreon.com/20thCenturyRevolutions</a>Make a One Time Donation: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=CLKDEFJA5MR5U&amp;no_recurring=0&amp;currency_code=USD">PayPal</a>

1.7 Siege of Missolonghi (Greek Revolution pt. 5)

20th Century Revolutions is a weekly podcast that traces some of the most consequential revolutions, political and social, that took place across the globe during the 20th Century.Currently On: "Season 1: Revolutions of the Ottoman Collapse" As a podcast about revolutions, the narrative will naturally pick up where the great Mike Duncan left off in his wonderful Revolutions podcast. This show is similarly broken up into seasons each covering different revolutions with episodes that are around 25-40 minutes long.As a podcast about the 20th century, I will try to make some sense of the 20th century and how the dramatic events of these 100 years shaped our world today. One of my hopes is that the framework of political and social revolutions will allow for new understandings of the 20th century.If you have any suggestions for future seasons, notice any serious blunders I have made in my facts or pronunciation, or just want to say hi, please email me at twentiethcenturyrevolutions@gmail.com.Helpful maps and images: 20thcenturyrevolutions.com Support the Show: https://www.patreon.com/20thCenturyRevolutions
