Between 1828 and 1830, the Greek administration undertook the collection of statistical data concerning the population and settlements of the Peloponnese. Through systematic research, which involved the identification and mapping of approximately 1,800 place names, it became possible to reconstruct the demographic landscape of the Peloponnese at the conclusion of the Greek Revolution.

Montreal’s City Hall echoed with cries of “LONG LIVE GREECE”, as the Greek flag waved in the council chambers where Mayor Valerie Plante spoke about the Greek revolution and Greece’s gigantic struggle for liberation.

The George Seferis Chair of Modern Greek Studies, Harvard University, and the Karamanlis Chair of Hellenic and European Studies, The Fletcher School at Tufts University will co-sponsor a two-day international conference marking the 200th anniversary since the 1821 Greek war of independence, entitled "New Perspectives on the Greek Revolution". The online conference will take place on September 24-25, 2021.
