Plundered Empire
P. XII
"These describe
the trophies from the greatest plunder of all, namely the bloody separation of
Greece from Ottoman rule, sold in the West as the liberty gained by innocent
Christian Greeks from the cruel and barbarian Muslim yoke. One decisive act
was the destruction of Ottoman naval power in 1827 by the navies of Britain,
France and Russia at the Battle of Navarino."
