A series of bad leaders on both sides of the geo-political world led the two Greatest Powers of the day... the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire, to grow further and further apart. The Neo-Persians, or Sassanids, were constantly invading the Roman Borders, as they had dreams of reuniting Cyrus the Great's old Imperial borders. Instead of securing their borders, the Romans busied themselves with infighting. We call it the Roman Persian Wars, but you will find others refer to it as the  Byzantine-Sassanid War.

The History of Modern Greece covers the events of the Greek People from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, all the way through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922.
