註釋Modern Greece, since gaining its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1830, has been a weak country dependent upon great powers. The weakness of the country, its location, and the strategic interests of the Great Powers have invited foreign intervention in the affairs of Greece. An examination of the history and politics of modern Greece would reveal that most crises and important policy decisions were related to foreign pressure. Modern Greece has had a history of being involved in patron-client relationships, with Greece as the client and France, Russia, England, the United States and, since 1981, the European Community/European Union as the patrons. As a client nation-state, Greece has had its sovereignty compromised by its patron as well as by other more powerful nation-states.
