The '''Greek War of Independence''' (1821–1829), also commonly known as the '''Greek Revolution''',<ref>{{lang-el|Ελληνική Επανάσταση}} ''Elliniki Epanastasi''; {{lang-ota|يؤنان ئسياني }}, ''Yunan İsyanı''</ref> was a successful war by the Greeks who won independence for [[Greece]] from the [[Ottoman Empire]]. [[Muhammad Ali Pasha]] sent his son Ismail with an army and a fleet to help fight the Greeks and the Greek Christian revolutionaries asked for help from European Christians. A fleet of the [[United Kingdom]], [[France]] and [[Russian Empire|Russia]] destroyed the Ottoman-Egypt fleet in the Battle of Navarino. After a long and bloody struggle, independence was finally achieved, and confirmed by the Treaty of [[Constantinople]] in July 1832. The Greeks were thus the first of the Ottoman Empire's subject peoples to be accepted as an independent sovereign power.
