022 - Philip brings the wrath of Rome

History of Modern Greece

Philp the V, King of Macedon, made a big mistake by challenging the authority of the Roman Empire. After receiving several chances from the Romans, Phillip betrays them for the last time. The Romans marched upon the Greek world, conquered it, and razed cities to the ground. Once captured, the Romans kept the Greek world for over a thousand years.
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, all the way through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922.
