Cretan Revolt (1841)
The Cretan Revolt of 1841 was one of many revolutions of the local Greeks to free themselves from the Ottoman Empire. It was part of what is known as the Eastern Question and more specifically the Egyptian-Ottoman War of 1839–1841, where Muhammad Ali's forces forced the Ottoman army to retreat at the Battle of Nezib. This made an attack on the Ottoman capital, Istanbul (Constantinople), through Syria possible, which went against the Great Power's interests of maintaining the Ottoman Empire. After the Great Power's intervention on the matter, there was a possibility that Crete would join the newly formed Kingdom of Greece, at first through diplomatic means. However, military intervention by the Kingdom of Greece was also considered, as the crisis had lifted the Greek people's spirits, who wanted to liberate their fellow Greeks, by any means necessary. There were two requests made by the Committee of Exiled Cretans, in late 1838 and 10 August 1839, which requested the island be ...
