History of Modern Greece

The History of Modern Greece covers the events of the Greek People from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, to the modern day. We are a father and son team. We are not historians, but we are hardcore fans of history. We embarked on a mission to understand exactly how the Ancient Greek civilization transformed into the modern nation we see today. To prepare ourselves for the journey we purchased dozens of textbooks, watched numberless documentaries, and listened to as many historical podcasts as we could find. Come and join us on our journey to discover the History of Modern Greece.

In our 1st episode of the 4th season of The History of Modern Greece, we discuss what stood out from the third season, and the impact of the crusades on the Greek World. We talk about our favorite male and female characters, as well as the heroes of the Crusades, such as Saladin, Bohemond, and Richard the Lion Heart. However, we also discuss how the 4th Crusade really shattered the Greco-Roman world and kickstarted the foundation of the modern nation of Greece. But Greece is still 600 years away.
