But the most famous Philhellene of them all, Lord Byron, would fully take the plunge, arriving in Greece in 1824. For helpful maps, photo...

    Very interesting... thank you, Mr./Mrs.. But... I believe that the main-focused country is not an empire; this is because, the country's real and true name is the Sublime Ottoman State (SOS):🆘. This official name functions as similar to or has the same nature as other famous names such as the United States, the Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, and the Union State.
