Greek History as a whole is complex and difficult to understand. What is the difference between mainly Greece and Hellenism? Why was the capital of the Roman Empire moved to Constantinople and how did the Greeks become “Romans”? Why did the Byzantine Empire collapse? What was the deepest cause of the Greek Revolution? How is it explained that the Greek version of Fascism was invented by Great Britain?
The Greek Mediaeval History is a complicated question. For it is necessary to make the distinction between Greece proper and the Eastern Roman Empire, alias the Byzantine one. The latter's saga has been the object of extensive research so far. And, on an international scale, numerous brilliant scholars occupied themselves with it. Consequently, only a brief overview will be attempted in the present essay.
