The purpose of this work is to trace the development of Greek military formations under Russian sponsorship, to assess their role in Russian operations in the Mediterranean, and to compare them with other Greek forces in Ottoman, French, Neapolitan, Venetian, and British service. Another purpose of this study is to analyze why and how the military experience on the Ionian Islands affected the future Greek struggle for liberation against the Turks. The core of the work is based upon archival material from the Vlachogiannes Collection housed in the General State Archives of Greece, together with many unpublished and published sources.
