Definition of Greece in English:
The age of the classical city states, of which the most prominent were Athens and Sparta, reached its peak in the 5th century bc, after which Greece fell to Macedonia and then became part of the Roman and Byzantine Empires. It was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1466 and remained under Turkish rule until the war of independence from 1821 until 1830, after which it became a kingdom. The monarchy was overthrown in a military coup in 1967, and a civilian republic was established in 1974. Greece joined the EC (now the EU) in 1981
