The Monroe Doctrine and the Greek Revolution

More about the book

The book explores the paradox of American support for the Greek Revolution contrasted with the non-recognition stemming from the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. It delves into the origins of diplomatic neutrality, positioning the Monroe Doctrine as its culmination, and emphasizes John Quincy Adams' influence. Notably, it highlights the significant attention the Greek War of Independence received in U.S. policy discussions and how this historical context shaped Hellenic-American relations for nearly two centuries, as illustrated in the epilogue through specific episodes.
