If Sparta who bred and trained each and every one of its citizens to be of the greatest warriors of the ancient world had ever seen. But what about after that. What happened after Alexander the great and the powerful Roman Empire? That  of what this article is about.

Greece before the eleventh century was the centre piece of the Byzantine Empire. But this began to change in the 13th century, when Constantinople was captured in the Fourth Crusade by invading the Latins. Although the Byzantines are able to eventually take back their city area remain a battlefield. Especially with the arrival of the Ottoman Empire.

In the Balkans, the Ottoman Turks and that Greece is soon the sights. However, the reprieve, the ottomans attacked to the East of the Mongols. When the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans and Greece start again move your reign belongs and who does not stand in the way of the Hungarians is intensified.

However, a group of Greeks in the Russian port of Odessa on the coast of the dead sea works on a large scale as they March to the South as an army with Russian support. March 25 1821 inspired by this Army led by Alexander Ypsilantis, Greece increases as one despite the fact that the mission failed. The Ottomans responded quickly but are confused by the guerrilla tactics of the Greeks.

The next King is a Danish Prince, and he is crowned George i. George the first priority is to bring all that was once Greece back under Greek control. In a sense he continues the Greek war of independence. He is able to take several of the Greek islands including Crete, in addition to Macedonia in the North. He does this through a mix of war and politics.
