Abstract
Author argues that by shifting from the Balkans-Middle East axis to the historical Greece-Turkey axis we could open broader terms for our discussion of the post-Ottoman space. He offers several reasons why this shift could be fruitful for discussions of 'religion, ethnicity, and contested nationhood in the post-Ottoman space.' He then discusses some of the dynamics of Greek War of Independence of the 1820s in light of the Turkish War of Independence a century later. In addition to the fascinating cases of particular nation-states in the process of formation and the master narrative of imperial reforms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, there were also multiple and persistently imperial processes to be examined. The chapter argues that the Greek and Turkish Wars of Independence, despite their extreme differences, contain important isomorphisms as well as causal connections that can lead to new insights on the creation of a post-Ottoman space. Keywords:Balkans-Middle East axis; Greece-Turkey axis; Greek War of Independence; Ottoman Empire; post-Ottoman space; Turkish war
