He also emphasizes the historical and cultural significance of Greece, and its role as a bulwark of European civilization against the Ottoman Empire.Venizelos goes on to outline the various claims and demands of Greece, including territorial claims in Asia Minor and Thrace, the return of Greek refugees to their homes, and the establishment of a Greek protectorate over the Aegean islands. He also argues for the right of the Greek people to self-determination and democratic government, and criticizes the policies of the Great Powers towards Greece.Overall, ""Greece Before The Peace Congress Of 1919"" is a passionate and well-reasoned argument for the rights and interests of Greece in the post-war world.
