Flashcards

National Assembly factions in 1827

The National Assembly in Troizen was split into three factions. The first group led by Mavrokordatos and Miaoulis represented the islands and the Aegean Sea, with support from England. The second group, headed by Kolletis, focused on mainland Greece and had French backing. Finally, the third group comprising Kolokotronis and Metaxas, represented the Peloponnese with Russian support. These divisions ultimately contributed to the ongoing civil war.

Arrival of Kapodistrias

Ioannis Kapodistrias, a seasoned diplomat, was appointed as the Governor of Greece. He arrived with the backing of Kolokotronis and Karatasakis, representing a shift in political power.

Surrender of the Acropolis

The Siege of the Acropolis, a protracted battle, was finally concluded with its surrender to the Ottoman forces. English involvement played a significant role in its destruction.
