EDITORS COMMENTS
September 3, 1843: A Day of Bloodless Revolution in Athens - Reforms at Athens This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in Greek history, marking the beginning of political reforms in Athens under the leadership of Greek statesman and revolutionary, Ioannis Kolettis Kalergis. The day of September 3, 1843, is remembered as a day of bloodless revolution, as the people of Athens peacefully rose up against the oppressive rule of King Otto of Greece and his Bavarian ministers. King Otto, a Bavarian prince, had been ruling Greece since 1832, following the country's independence from the Ottoman Empire. However, his rule was marked by heavy-handedness and disregard for Greek traditions and customs. The Greek population, longing for self-rule and democratic institutions, began to grow restless. Kalergis, a prominent Greek politician and intellectual, led the charge for reform. He rallied the people of Athens to peacefully protest against the Bavarian ministers, demanding the granting of a new constitution that would establish a more representative government. In response to the growing unrest, King Otto, reluctantly, sacked his Bavarian ministers and agreed to the drafting of a new constitution. This marked a significant turning point in Greek history, paving the way for greater self-rule and democratic institutions in the country. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of peaceful protest and the determination of the Greek people to fight for their rights and freedoms. The events of September 3, 1843, are a testament to the enduring spirit of the Greek people and their unwavering commitment to democracy and self-rule.
