Well in 1829 the Treaty of Adrianople confirmed Greek and Serbian independence. The treaty also gave Russia the right of free access to the Mediterranean Sea. The Greek national assembly elected a Greek diplomat as their first president. However, the conservative monarchs of Europe did not want the revolutionary ideas of democracy, nationalism, and republicanism to spread. They refused to recognize Greek independence unless Greece became a monarch and soon picked a noble European prince to be the king of Greece. Prince Otto of Bavaria (in Germany) was chosen and ruled Greece for 30 years.

∙ 10y agoGreece was really a lot of independent city-states. The first to bring it under control as hegemon (leader) was Philip II of Macedonia. Macedonia was not considered to be Greek as its people and language were different, the Greeks thought them different and they thought they were different
Philip tried to enter a chariot in the Olympic Games and was knocked back as he was not Greek, so he spread a bit of money around and faked up a descent from Heracles.
