First published in 1941, A Short History of Modern Greece, 1821–1940 provides an account of Modern Greece spanning more than a century. The book is divided into three parts. Part one traces the birth and early struggles of the Greek Kingdom through 1914. Part two examines Greece’s experience during World War I (1914–18). Part three covers the period from the 1919 Armistice to the Italian invasion of Greece in October 1940. A final chapter presents personal impressions of the modern Greek people. This work will appeal to students and researchers of history, as well as general readers interested in the subject.
