Answer:
The growth of revolutionary nationalism in Europe motivated the Greeks to start a struggle for independence in 1821. Greece had been a part of the ottoman empire since the fifteenth century. The struggle inspired the educated elite class of Europe and filled them with nationalistic zeal. Literature mobilized public opinion to support struggle against a Muslim empire. Greek citizens who were living in exile supported them, and poets and artists lauded Greece as the cradle of European civilization. As a result, nationalistic sentiments were invoked among the educated elites of Greece like Lord Bryon, an english poet, who raised funds and even participated in the war.
