Abstract
The Greek Revolution was unquestionably one of the most important affairs between the Napoleonic Wars and the revolutionary year of 1848. Contemporaries as well as historians have often agreed that it represented an important violation of the post-war order established at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, notwithstanding that the Ottoman Empire did not formally belong to it due to its omission in the Final Acts of the Congress. The exceptional historical importance of the Greeks’ struggle for independence was also acknowledged by Austrian Chancellor Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar, Prince of Metternich-Winneburg, who, after his political downfall in March 1848, wrote a short account of the uprising in the form of a memoir; he regarded it as one of the most important international events during his long political career, referring to its significant impact on the political situation not only in the Ottoman Empire but also generally in Europe.
