The Greek War of Independence from March …
Years: 1824 - 1824
The Greek War of Independence from March 1821 to December 1823 has been largely a successful insurgency.
While the Egyptian under Muhammad Ali capture Crete for the Ottoman Empire, the Greek forces during this period have been able to capture many major strongholds of the Peloponnesus and establish a strong presence in central Greece.
Victories on land have been coupled with successes at sea, most notably the sinking of the flagship of the Ottoman navy in November 1822.
Total casualties in the first phase have been estimated at fifty thousand, many of whom are civilians massacred by both sides.
