About the Exhibit
This exhibit, which was organized by Quinn Byington and William McClelland under the mentorship of Zachary Quint and sponsored by the Michigan Library Scholars program at the University of Michigan Library, is an introductory resource for those interested in learning more about the Greek War of Independence, 19th century European international politics, and/or the origins of nationalism and the modern nation-state. Many of the resources used are accessible to University of Michigan affiliates through the U-M Library. From those resources, we have created an overview of the Greek War of Independence that primarily focuses on the international influences on Greek revolutionary ideology as well as the various European and American responses to the revolution at its outset.
