First Hellenic Republic
Okay kiddo, let me tell you about the First Hellenic Republic.
A loooooong time ago, in the late 1700s, there was a big country called the Ottoman Empire. They ruled over a lot of different places, including Greece. But the Greeks weren't very happy about being ruled by the Ottomans. They wanted their own country where they could make their own rules.
So in 1821, the Greeks decided to rebel against the Ottomans and try to create their own country. They fought really hard for a few years, and finally in 1827, they got some help from other countries like Britain, France, and Russia. Together, they defeated the Ottoman Navy in a big battle called the Battle of Navarino.
After that, the Greeks were able to set up their own government and declare independence from the Ottoman Empire. They called themselves the First Hellenic Republic. They had a president and a constitution and everything! But they had a lot of problems too.
One of the big problems was that the different parts of Greece didn't always get along. They had different languages and cultures and sometimes they didn't want to listen to the government. There were also a lot of poor people who didn't have enough food or jobs.
Eventually, the First Hellenic Republic fell apart and Greece was ruled by a king again for a while. But the Greeks never forgot about their dream of having their own country, and eventually they were able to create the Greece that we know today.
