How did the Greek War of Independence become an emotional inspiration for European nationalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Greece was seen as a symbol of ancient civilisation and freedom
European intellectuals admired ancient Greek art, literature, philosophy, and political traditions. When Greeks fought Ottoman rule for independence, many Europeans interpreted the struggle as the revival of a historic civilisation and a defence of liberty. Philhellenism therefore turned sympathy for Greek culture into support for national independence. The movement did not oppose nationalism or strengthen Ottoman rule; hence option A is correct.
