In the shadow of Ibrahim

The fourth episode focuses on the division of the Greeks, which shakes the struggle - a struggle that must be continued at all costs. The divided Greeks are called upon to face the Ottoman counterattack, reinforced by Egyptian troops. This time, the main enemy is listening to the name Ibrahim. The Egyptian pasha, in a show of strength, destroys Kasos and Psara before invading the Peloponnese in 1825, sowing panic and destruction. Now, the fate of the Revolution hangs on a thread.

His brutal assassination, the formation of the first independent Greek Kingdom and the valuation of the two centuries of Greek Independence.
