Panos Kolokotronis, a highly educated fighter in the Greek War of Independence and eldest son of Theodoros Kolokotronis, met a tragic end. While attempting to rescue a captured comrade, he was ambushed and killed by Bulgarian soldiers serving the opposing “Government” forces on November 13, 1824, during the second Greek civil war. This assassination marked a significant loss for the “Anti-Government” side and a dark moment in the nascent Greek state’s history.
The Fall of Tripolitsa on September 23rd, 1821, stands as a pivotal moment in the Greek War of Independence. It marked not only a strategic victory for the Greek revolutionaries, capturing the Ottoman administrative center of the Peloponnese, but also a symbolic triumph against Ottoman rule. While marred by the brutality of the ensuing violence, the event had profound consequences for the Greek struggle for independence, boosting morale, providing much-needed resources, and ultimately contributing to the establishment of a free Greek state.
