TheGreek diaspora,also known asOmogenia(Greek:Ομογένεια,romanized:Omogéneia),[1][2]are the communities ofGreeksliving outside ofGreeceandCyprus.
Such places historically (dating to the ancient period) include,Albania,North Macedonia,southernRussia,Ukraine,Asia MinorandPontus(in today's Turkey),Georgia,Egypt,Sudan,southern Italy(the so-called "Magna Graecia"),Sicily,CargèseandMarseillein France.
The term also refers to communities established by Greek migration (mostly since the 19th century) outside of the traditional areas; such as inAustralia,Canada,United States,United Kingdom,Germany,South Africa,Braziland others.
The Greek diaspora population is estimated at 5 million, which when added to the population of Greece (approximately 10 million), it gives a total worldwideGreekpopulation of approximately 15 million.
Overview
editThe Greekdiasporais one of the oldest diasporas in the world, with an attested presence from Homeric times to the present.[3]Examples of its influence range from the role played by Greek expatriates in the emergence of theRenaissance,through liberation and nationalist movements involved in the fall of theOttoman Empire,to commercial developments such as the commissioning of the world's first supertankers by shipping magnatesAristotle OnassisandStavros Niarchos.[4]
History
editAntiquity
editInArchaic Greece,the trading andcolonizing activitiesof Greeks from theBalkansandAsia Minorpropagated Greek culture, religion and language around the Mediterranean andBlack Seabasins. Greekcity-stateswere established inSouthern Italy(the so-called "Magna Graecia"), northernLibya,eastern Spain, the south of France, and the Black Sea coast, and the Greeks founded over 400 colonies in these areas.[5]Alexander the Great's conquest of theAchaemenid Empiremarked the beginning of theHellenistic period,which was characterized by a new wave of Greek colonization in Asia and Africa; the Greek ruling classes established their presence inEgypt,West Asia,andNorthwest India.[6]
Many Greeks migrated to the new Hellenistic cities founded in Alexander's wake, as geographically dispersed asUzbekistan[7]andKuwait.[8]Seleucia,AntiochandAlexandriawere among thelargest cities in the worldduring Hellenistic and Roman times.[9]Greeks spread across theRoman Empire,and in the eastern territories theGreek language(rather thanLatin) became thelingua franca.The Roman Empire was Christianized in the fourth century AD, and during the lateByzantineperiod theGreek Orthodoxform ofChristianitybecame a hallmark of Greek identity.[10]
Middle Ages
editIn the seventh century, EmperorHeracliusadoptedMedieval Greekas the official language of theByzantine Empire.Greeks continued to live around theLevant,Mediterranean and Black Sea, maintaining their identity among local populations as traders, officials, and settlers. Soon afterwards, theArab-Islamic Caliphateseizedthe Levant,Egypt,North AfricaandSicilyfrom theByzantine Greeksduring theByzantine–Arab Wars.The Greek populations generally remained in these areas of the Caliphate and helped translate ancient Greek works into Arabic, thus contributing toearly Islamic philosophyandscience(which, in turn, contributed toByzantine science).
Fall of Byzantium and exodus to Italy
editAfter theByzantine–Ottoman Wars,which resulted in thefall of Constantinoplein 1453 and theOttomanconquest of Greek lands, many Greeks fledConstantinople(nowIstanbul) and found refuge in Italy. They brought ancient Greek writings that had been lost in the West, contributing to theRenaissance.Most of these Greeks settled inVenice,Florence,andRome.
Fall of the Empire of Trebizond and exodus to Russia and Georgia
editBetween the fall of theEmpire of Trebizondto the Ottomans in 1461 and the secondRusso-Turkish Warin 1828–29, thousands ofPontic Greeksmigrated (or fled) from thePontic Alpsandeastern AnatoliatoGeorgiaand other southern regions of theRussian Empire,and (later) the Russian province ofKarsin theSouth Caucasus.Many Pontic Greeks fled their homelands in Pontus and northeastern Anatolia and settled in these areas to avoid Ottoman reprisals after supporting the Russian invasions of eastern Anatolia in theRusso-Turkish Warsfrom the late 18th to the early 20th century. Others resettled in search of new opportunities in trade, mining, farming, the church, the military, and the bureaucracy of theRussian Empire.[11]
Modern era
editOttoman Empire
editGreeks spread through many provinces of theOttoman Empireand took major roles in its economic life, particularly thePhanariots(wealthy Greek merchants who claimed noble Byzantine descent during the second half of the 16th century). The Phanariots helped administer the Ottoman Empire's Balkan domains in the 18th century; some settled in present-dayRomania,influencing its political and cultural life. Other Greeks settled outside the southern Balkans, moving north in service to the Orthodox Church or as a result of population transfers and massacres by Ottoman authorities after Greek rebellions against Ottoman rule or suspected Greek collaboration with Russia in the Russo-Turkish wars fought between 1774 and 1878.Greek Macedoniawas most affected by the population upheavals, where the large, indigenous Ottoman Muslim population (often including those ofGreek-convert descent) could form local militias to harass and exact revenge on the Greek-speaking Christian Orthodox population; this often forced the inhabitants of rural districts, particularly in the more vulnerable lowland areas, to abandon their homes.[citation needed]
A larger-scale movement of Greek-speaking peoples in the Ottoman period wasPontic Greeksfrom northeastern Anatolia to Georgia and parts of southern Russia, particularly the province ofKars Oblastin thesouthern Caucasusafter the short-lived Russian occupation ofErzerumand the surrounding region during the 1828–29Russo-Turkish War.An estimated one-fifth of Pontic Greeks left their homeland in the mountains of northeastern Anatolia in 1829 as refugees, following the Tsarist army as it withdrew back into Russian territory (since many had collaborated with—or fought in—the Russian army against the Muslim Ottomans to regain territory for Christian Orthodoxy). The Pontic Greek refugees who settled in Georgia and the southern Caucasus assimilated with preexistingCaucasus Greekcommunities. Those who settled in Ukraine and southern Russia became a sizable proportion of cities such asMariupol,but generally assimilated with Christian Orthodox Russians and continued to serve in the Tsarist army.
In 1788,Ali Pasha of IoanninadestroyedMoscopole.This predominantly ethnicAromaniansettlement historically had an important Greek influence.[12]This is why some members of theAromanian diasporathat settled in places such asViennainAustriahave been considered as Greeks and part of a Greek diaspora as well.[13]
19th century
editDuring and after theGreek War of Independence,Greeks of the diaspora established the fledgling state, raised funds and awareness abroad and served as senior officers in Russian armies which fought the Ottomans to help liberate Greeks under Ottoman subjugation inMacedonia,Epirus,andThrace.Greek merchant families had contacts in other countries; during the disturbances, many set up home bases around the Mediterranean (notablyMarseillesin France,Livorno,CalabriaandBariin Italy andAlexandriain Egypt), Russia (OdesaandSt. Petersburg), and Britain (London andLiverpool) from where they traded (typically textiles and grain). Businesses frequently included the extended family, and they brought schools teaching Greek and theGreek Orthodox Church.[14]As markets changed, some families becameshippers(financed through the local Greek community, with the aid of theRalliorVagliano Brothers). The diaspora expanded across theLevant,North Africa,India[15]and the US.[16]Many leaders of the Greek struggle for liberation from Ottoman Macedonia and other parts of the southern Balkans with large Greek populations still under Ottoman rule had links to the Greek trading and business families who funded the Greek liberation struggle against the Ottomans and the creation of aGreater Greece.
The terrible devastation of the island ofChiosin the1822 massacrecaused a great dispersion of the islanders, leading to the creation of a specificChian diaspora.
After theTreaty of Constantinople,the political situation stabilised; some displaced families returned to the newly independent country to become key figures in cultural, educational and political life, especially in Athens. Financial assistance from overseas was channeled through these family ties, providing for institutions such as theNational Libraryand sending relief after natural disasters.
20th century
editDuring the 20th century, many Greeks left the traditional homelands for economic and political reasons; this resulted in large migrations fromGreeceandCyprusto theUnited States,Australia,Canada,Brazil,The United Kingdom,New Zealand,Argentina,The United Arab Emirates,Singapore,Germany,Norway,Belgium,Georgia,Italy,Armenia,Russia,Chile,MexicoandSouth Africa,especially after World War II (1939–45), theGreek Civil War(1946–49) and theTurkish Invasion of Cyprusin 1974.[17]
AfterWorld War I,most Pontian and Anatolian Greeks living in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) were victims of Muslim Turkish intolerance for Christians in the Ottoman Empire. More than 3.5 million Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians were killed in the regimes of the Young Turks and Mustafa Kemal, from 1914 to 1923.[18]Greeks in Asia Minor fled to modern Greece, and theRussian Empire(later theUSSR) was also a major destination.
After theGreek Civil War,many communist Greeks and their families fled to neighboring Yugoslavia, the USSR and the Soviet-dominated states of Eastern Europe (especially Czechoslovakia). Hungary founded a village (Beloiannisz) for Greek refugees, and many Greeks were resettled in the formerSudeten German regionof northern Czechoslovakia aroundKrnov(Jägerndorf). Sweden also admitted large numbers of Greeks, and over 17,000 Greek-Swedish descendants live in the country. Although many immigrants later returned to Greece, these countries still have a number of first- and second-generation Greeks who maintain their traditions.[17]
With thefall of Communismin eastern Europe and the USSR, Greeks of the diaspora immigrated to modern Greece's main urban centers of Athens, Thessaloniki, and Cyprus; many came fromGeorgia.[17]
Pontic Greeksare Greek-speaking communities originating in theBlack Searegion, particularly from theTrebizondregion, thePontic Alps,eastern Anatolia, Georgia, and the former Russian south-CaucasusKars Oblast.After 1919–23, most of these Pontic Greek and Caucasus Greek communities resettled inGreek Macedoniaor joined other Greek communities in southernRussiaandUkraine.
Greek nationality
editAnyone who is ethnically Greek and born outside Greece may become a Greek citizen throughnaturalizationif they can prove that a parent or grandparent was a Greek national. The Greek ancestor'sbirthandmarriage certificatesand the applicant's birth certificate are required, along with birth certificates for all intervening generations between the applicant and the person with Greek citizenship.
Greek citizenship is acquired by birth by all persons born in Greece who do not acquire a foreign citizenship and all persons born to at least one parent who is a registered Greek citizen. People born out of wedlock to a father who is a Greek citizen and a mother who is a non-Greek automatically gain Greek citizenship if the father recognizes them as his child before they turn 18.[19][20][21]
Present day
editCenters of the Greek diaspora areNew York City,[22]Boston,[23]Chicago,[24]Los Angeles,Munich,London,Melbourne,Wellington,[25]Sydney,Auckland,Montreal,Toronto,Vancouver,Johannesburg,Rio de Janeiro,São Paulo,Culiacán,Mexico City,andBuenos Aires.[17]
TheSAE – World Council of Hellenes Abroadhas compiled several studies on the Greek diaspora. The total number of Greeks living outside Greece and Cyprus is uncertain. Available census figures indicate about three million Greeks outside Greece and Cyprus, but the SAE estimates about seven million worldwide. The Greek diaspora defends Greek interests, particularly in the US.[26]Assimilation and loss of the Greek language influence the definition of the Greek diaspora. To learn more about how factors such as intermarriage and assimilation influence self-identification among young Greeks in the diaspora, and to help clarify the estimates of Greeks in the diaspora, the Next Generation Initiative began an academically supervised research study in 2008.[citation needed]
United States
editThe United States has the largest ethnically-Greek population outside Greece. According to the US Department of State, the Greek-American community numbers about three million and the vast majority are third- or fourth-generation immigrants.[27]According to the World Council of Churches, the Ecumenical Patriarchate has a membership of 600,000 in the US and Canada who are still Greek Orthodox;[28]however, many Greeks in both countries have adopted other religions or become secular. The 2010 census recorded about 130,000 Greek Americans, although members of the community dispute its accuracy.[citation needed]
Canada
editMost Greek Canadians live in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. The 2016 census reported that 271,405 Canadians were Greek by ancestry and 16,715 people were born in Greece.[29]
Chile
editGreek immigration to Chile began during the 16th century from the island ofCrete.Cretan Greeks settled in theAntofagasta Regionin the mid-16th century and spread to other locations, such as the Greek colony inSantiagoand the cities of San Diego, Valparaíso, Talcahuano, Puerto Montt, and Punta Arenas.[citation needed]
Australia
editAustralia has one of the world's largest Greek communities. Greek immigration to Australia began during the 19th century, increasing significantly in the 1950s and 1960s. According to the 2016 census, there were 397,431 Greeks and Greek Cypriots (by ancestry) living in Australia and 93,740 Greeks born in Greece or Cyprus. According toGreeks around the Globe,Greek Australians number about 700,000.[30]The majority of Greeks in Australia (over 90 percent) are Greek Orthodox and many attend church weekly. According to theSBS,Greeks in Australia have a higher level of church attendance than Greeks in Greece. There are minorities ofCatholics,Jehovah's WitnessesandPentecostals.Currently, there are 152 Greek Orthodox churches in Australia, most under jurisdiction of theGreek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia.In addition, there are 8 monasteries as well as schools, theological colleges and aged care centres.
Brazil
editAbout 50,000 Greeks immigrated to Brazil from Greece and Cyprus, with 20,000 in the city ofSão Paulo.Brazil has a sizable community of Antiochean Greeks (known as Melkites), Orthodox, Catholics, and Jews. According to the Catholic Church,[31]theEparchy of Nossa Senhora do Paraíso em São Paulo(Melkite Greek), the Eparchia Dominae Nostrae Paradisis S. Pauli Graecorum Melkitarum had a 2016 membership of 46,600. TheWorld Council of Churchesestimates that theGreek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antiochhas a membership of 90,000 in Latin America, the majority of whom live in Brazil.[32]
Germany
editIsrael
editAbout 250 Non-Jewish Greeks immigrated toOttoman PalestineandMandatory Palestinefor the service of the Greek-Orthodox church in the country between 1850 and 1920, mostly residing inJerusalemandNazareth City.About 1,500-2,500 Ethnic Greeks Today, few were able to obtain Greek Citizenship largely due to the refusal of recognition from Greece.[33]
Mexico
editGreeks started to immigrate to Mexico in the late 1800s from mainland and especially the Greek islands and Cyprus. While there was an individual immigration to Mexico, the Mexican government looked to start olive production in the Pacific Coast so thousands were taken to the state ofSinaloawhere the Greeks found fortunes in the tomato production instead. Today there are tens of thousands of Greek-Mexicans living primarily inCuliacán,Veracruz,and Mexico City as well as surrounding areas and other cities.
