Abstract:

After Greece gained its independence, it went on the way of external debt to pay the debt it had during the rebellion, and on the other hand to create a modern state, and as a result of this debt it experienced its first bankruptcy in 1843. As a result of this first bankruptcy, the Greek army interfered in politics and became a constitutional government. The establishment of the country’s economic infrastructure, the establishment of a modern army, the war preparations for the problems in Macedonia, Grit and the Balkans were the main causes of the second Greek bankruptcy in 1893. As a result of this bankruptcy, the army’s weight in politics increased, and the nationalist stream under the leadership of Venizelos began to play more role in Greek politics. The idea of the Megali idea that the Greek army went to Anatolia in the Liberation War and then a million and a half of the Romans went to Greece in 1932 caused the bankruptcy. As a result of this bankruptcy, Greece has rapidly advanced towards the dictatorship of General Metaksas, and has experienced significant social changes in the country, such as strikes and the strengthening of the Communist Party, which will later show its effects in the Greek Civil War. Thro these economic processes, Greece has constantly received new debts to pay the interests of foreign debts and to meet the budget gap, finally it has become unable to pay these debts, and the country has officially failed three times. The Greek economy, after every bankruptcy, was under the control of the great powers of the time. This study will use mainly Greek resources to try to identify the Greek bankruptcies of 1843, 1893 and 1932, the causes of these bankruptcies and the problems that Greece's loss of economic independence as a result of these bankruptcies created in the Greek social structure.
