Abstract

In 1822, after Greek revolutionaries invaded the Aegean Island of Chios, the Ottoman Fleet began a massacre of the island's inhabitants, killing, enslaving and displacing 100,000 people. This event, known as the Chios Massacre, was the largest massacre of the Greek War of Independence (1821-32), and sent shockwaves around Europe. Those who escaped (usually from the island's wealthy merchant class) found new homes in the ports and cities across the continent, most notably in London. this is where the story of the Anglo-Greek Ralli family begins.
