Professor Alexander Kitroeff recently gave a lecture on American Philhellenism and the Greek fight for independence that kicked off 200 years ago. As we celebrate Greece’s bicentennial today, Professor Kitroeff joins us on our podcast to talk about the links between the Greek revolution and the United States of America, from the philhellenes who travelled to Greece to join the fight, to the individuals who led efforts in the US to support the cause of freedom.
