The Rise of Nationalism in Europe Practice Test

The main idea here is how Greece finally gained formal international recognition as a sovereign state through a treaty. After Greece won its fight for independence, the major powers and the Ottoman Empire moved to settle Greece’s status. The 1832 Treaty of Constantinople is the one that formally recognized Greece as an independent, sovereign nation and helped establish its borders and the arrangement for its monarchy. That makes it the best answer because it is the treaty specifically tied to Greece’s official independence on the world stage in that year. The Treaty of London laid groundwork earlier, but it wasn’t the final, formal recognition; the other treaties listed were about different issues altogether.
