Ιστορία των Εθνικών Δανείων Μέρος Α' - Τα δάνεια της ανεξαρτησίας (1824-1825) - Το Δημόσιον Χρέος επί της Βαυαρικής Δυναστείας

This volume offers a detailed look at the birth of Greece’s public debt during the crucial years of 1824‑1825, when the young nation first turned to foreign lenders to fund its struggle for independence. Drawing on archives from the Bavarian court and private collections uncovered in England, the author reconstructs how loans were negotiated, documented, and ultimately tied to the nascent Bavarian dynasty that would later rule Greece. The narrative balances diplomatic intrigue with the economic realities faced by a fledgling state desperate for resources.

Beyond the raw financial figures, the work explains the legal and political frameworks that shaped the early borrowing process, highlighting the role of the Greek provisional government and its foreign partners. Readers gain insight into the strategies used to secure credit, the terms imposed by lenders, and the immediate impact on the war effort and domestic administration. The study sets the stage for later discussions of Greece’s public debt, making it a valuable foundation for anyone interested in the economic roots of modern Greek statehood.
