The nation of Greece finally forged its identity in the 19th and 20th centuries after emerging from 400 years of Ottoman domination. This book traces the development of Greece from the Minoan civilization of Crete to modern times, telling the story of how Greece added territory and experienced fierce growing pains--including coups, dictatorships, depressions, enormous influxes of immigrants, and wars--before evolving into today's modern democratic state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e The History of Greece\u003c\/i\u003e provides both an overview of Greece's early history as well as an examination of the difficulties that emerged in 2009 and 2010, such as its recent financial problems and social unrest.
