Map with regions the Ottomans targeted for kidnapping Christian children to “reprogram” them through torture. The Balkans and primarily Greece were prime targets; the turks aimed at undermining the robust Christian populations by abducting and weaponizing their children.
Freedom or Death: The Greeks never stopped fighting against the ottoman yoke; until they broke it and freed themselves. The Greek Revolution of 1821, also known as the Greek War of Independence, was a pivotal armed uprising by Greek revolutionaries against 400 years of Ottoman rule. It began in early 1821 and ended with the recognition of an independent Greek state by 1830–1832. Inspired by the secret society Filiki Etaireia (“Friendly Brotherhood”) and Enlightenment ideas of liberty, the revolt was sparked when Alexander Ypsilantis led a failed expedition into the Danubian Principalities (modern Romania) in February 1821. The real momentum came in the Peloponnese (Morea), where sporadic uprisings turned into a full revolution. The traditional date celebrated as Greek Independence Day is 25 March 1821 (the Feast of the Annunciation), but fighting actually erupted earlier. Freedom or Death was the phrase that carried the fire of Revolution across Greece. It was time to pay the turks back; in blood.
