Tentative Lord Byron (& The Greek War of Independence) Thesis

Despite the idealistic notions that may have driven the Greeks to the point of conflict, the outside involvement in the Greek War of Independence of 1821 through 1829 by those such as Lord George Gordon Byron and The London Greek Committee, with which the former was loosely involved, was fuelled mainly, if not purely, by self-interest, avarice, and a quest for acclaim.
