The expedition of Ibrahim Pasha, son of Egypt’s ruler, Muhammad Ali, constitutes the most dramatic
chapter of the Greek War of Independence. According to the established scholarship, Greeks’ revolutionary war
against the Ottomans nearly was over in favour of the Porte. From the close consideration of the available sources,
nonetheless, is quite a different conclusion that emerges: Ibrahim Pasha was already preparing his war against the
Sultan Mahmud II, and accordingly he was trying to find potential allies.
