Greece declared independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821 and achieved it through military means in 1827. However, Greece in 1827 consisted only of the regions of the Peleponnesus and Attica (the southern third of modern Greece). In order to acquire Crete, most of the Aegean Islands, Boetia, Thessaly, Epirus, Makedonia/Macedonia, and Thrakia/Thrace would take until 1913 with the final Balkan Wars. The borders between Greece and the Republic of Turkey were final settled by the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.
