Ottoman Greeks
Ottoman Greeks were people who lived in Greece when it was controlled by the Ottoman Empire, which was a big empire that controlled a lot of land. Ottoman Greeks were also known as Greeks who were under Ottoman rule.
The Ottoman Empire was very big and ruled over a lot of different types of people. They had their own language, religion, and customs. The Ottoman Greeks were Christians who followed the Greek Orthodox Church, which was different from the religion that the Ottoman Empire followed, which was Islam.
They dressed differently than the Ottoman Turks, who were the main group of people ruling over the Ottoman Empire. The Greeks had their own traditional clothing, food, and culture. They also spoke their own language, which is Greek.
Sometimes, the Ottoman Empire forced the Greeks to do things they didn't want to do, like pay taxes or fight in wars. This made some of the Greeks angry and they rebelled, or worked together to try and get their own independence.
In 1821, the Greeks started a big rebellion against the Ottoman Empire. They fought for years and eventually won their freedom in 1832, when Greece became an independent country. But even after Greece became a country of its own, there were still Greeks who lived in areas controlled by the Ottoman Empire.
Today, there are still people who identify as Ottoman Greeks, but they are a smaller group and have faced persecution and discrimination in the past.
