The whole of Greece was under foreign rule for many centuries, starting with the Roman conquest in the second century BC. What distinguishes the Ionian Islands from the rest of Greece is that, with some exceptions, they did not form part of the Ottoman Empire, while the rest of the Greek world was under Ottoman rule for anything between two hundred and five hundred years. The fact that these islands were ruled by Catholics rather than Muslims has made them strikingly different from the rest of Greece, in language, music, costume, cuisine and architecture. -

Again Koraes' careful rhetoric, which matches his self-projection, seems to be in play; his classifications of-Greek slavery under the Romans- and -Greek slavery under the Ottomans- are closely linked a few lines below: Modern Greeks could justifiably boast more than Plutarch's contemporaries, when freed from the yoke of the savage tyrant, compared to which the Roman yoke could rightly be considered a luxury, and after they gain their freedom, they are willing to maintain it. 16 -

It is not surprising that the Romans were highly prepared when it came to defending their city from the second attack by the Gauls. The first invasion by the Celts was so humiliating that, after managing to expel them from the city, the Romans even considered abandoning it and moving to Veii (which had been conquered by Camillus before the appearance of Brenus and the gauls. However, in the end it was decided to destroy Veii's structures and buildings in order to rebuild Rome as a way of starting from scratch.

Demetrius of Pharos was Greek or at least half-Greek and not an Illyrian as he actually was from a well-known Greek colony founded in 385 BC on the island of Pharos, which is modern Hvar in Croatia.
Edit:
By the way, hard to find a more typical Greek name than Demetrios, which never ceased to be used since antiquity, through Byzantine and even modern times. Illyrians didn't have Greek names (at least not at those times, they had Illyrian.

As a Hispanic, I learned a lot about the Roman Empire. It's incredible to note that we still have roots attached to this formal power. There's provinces like Hispania Baetica, Hispania Lusitania, Hispania Tarraconensis, Gallia Narbonensis, Gallia Aquitania, Gallia Lugdunensis, Gallia Belgica, Raetia, Noricum, Germania Superior, Germania Inferior, and Britannia.

Thank you for the video and the effort. -
But it is a great mistake not to mention the Mauri tribe in what is now northern Morocco, the Moors territory extended to the Moulouya River. -
Thousands of Moors are going to watch this video and their eyes are going to hurt seeing those maps. -
Still, thanks again for the video.

This is true, you look into the Punic wars and the romans control most of Italy, then by the end you realise that not only do they control Africa and Iberia but they also happened to have acquired Greece, parts of Illyria and cisalpine Gaul. The Punic wars were impressive enough, despite doing all the rest during their breaks

The Romans avenged the city of Troy when they conquered Greece, as the founders of Rome (Romulus and Remus) were descendants of a trojan man named Aeneas, who fled from the destruction of the ancient city by the greeks. It was needed a thousand years, but a win is a win

How did Rome go from this to barely being able to keep foreign armies off their territory LMAO these generations of Romans were rolling over in their graves watching everything fall apart during the later times of the empire.

As a Greek, I wish we had avoided provoking Rome so much, since it appears we were in no state to resist her military might at the time. Especially considering they had no interest in the region.

While both conquests were on point Roman rule over Hispania was rather short compared to the impressive one and a half millennia long Roman domination of Greece and Greek subject populations

Very good indeed, hope you guys do more work on the other illyrian tribes, such as the Albanoi, Ardiaei and the Dardanians. They really went at it with Philip of Macedon, lots of wars -

it was the Illyrian Peninsula and there were no Macedonians or Greeks at all, the Slavs/Greeks came to Europe in the 8th century, their history is a complete fairy tale, nothing true.

Great video. But all the focus was on greece and Iberia- would have been neat to see how they actually moved in on Hispania as well with the same detail that you gave to the other areas.

LoL! And what is the fate of Rome now? All have been relegated to smithereens. Nothing is left of the past. But look at India! Over 14000 years of tradition still exists as still!

By conquering Greece the Romans not only ended the Hellenistic Age and added a vital territory to their realm but also shambled one of the oldest pagan religions to nothing

It's funny how Rome conquered Greece reluntanctly, and after much whining from small city states, said - -sighs- Ok fine- and took the whole region in one fell swoop

The generation that defeated Hannibal and conquered Greece just might be the greatest generation Rome ever had but it has strong competition through the ages.
