blue white.The Greeks are an ethnic group who have populated Greece from the 17th century BC to the present day. Today they are primarily found in the Greek peninsula of southeastern Europe, the Greek islands and Cyprus.

Greek colonies and communities have been historically established in most corners of the Mediterranean but Greek people have always been centered around the Aegean coasts, where the Greek language has been spoken since antiquity. Until the early 20th century Greeks were uniformly distributed between the Greek peninsula, the western coast of Asia Minor, Pontus and Constantinople, regions which coincided to a very large extent with the borders of the Byzantine Empire of the late 11th century and the areas of Greek colonization in the ancient world. In the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) in 1923, a large-scale population exchange between Greece and Turkey transferred and confined ethnic Greeks almost entirely into the borders of the modern Greek state, that is, in areas where groups of Greek-speaking Indo-Europeans first established themselves about 1500 BC, as well as in Cyprus. Other ethnic Greek populations can be found from Southern Italy to the Caucasus and diaspora communities in a number of other countries. Today, the vast majority of Greeks are at least nominally adherents of Greek Orthodoxy.[10]The Greek language has been spoken in the Greek peninsula (i.e. the southern Balkans) for over 3,500 years (and in western Asia Minor for a little less), and has an unbroken literary history which makes it one of the oldest surviving branches of the Indo-European family of languages. From ancient Greece the Greeks have inherited a sophisticated culture and language documented over almost three millennia.Modern Greek is recognizably the same as the language of Athens under Pericles in the 5th century BC. Few languages can demonstrate such continuity.

The terms used to define Greekness have varied throughout history. By Western standards, the term "Greeks" has traditionally referred to any native speakers of the Greek language (whether Mycenaean, Byzantine or modern Greek). Byzantine Greeks valued the classical tradition, considered themselves the political heirs of Rome, and deemed themselves the ethnic, cultural, and literary heirs of ancient Greece. The use of the older self-descriptive ethnic term "Hellenes" revived during the era following the Greco-Latin clashes between the Byzantine Empire and the Western Crusaders in the 12th century. It regained some popularity through its use by late Byzantine Emperors and scholars such Gemistus Pletho and Ciriaco Pizzecolli. It became fairly common with the emergence, in the late 18th century, of the nation-state and its gradual consolidation, but it was not until the early 20th century that its popular use was firmly re-established.The Greeks today are a nation in the meaning of an ethnos, defined by a sense of sharing a common Greek culture, and having a Greek mother tongue, than by citizenship, religion or by being subjects to any particular country. However, the Greeks are also defined as a genos in the sense that they also share a common ancestry. The word 'Greek' also referred to the Eastern Orthodox Christian inhabitants of the Rum Millet of the Ottoman Empire.Greece became the first country in the Balkans to come into being, both as a nation-state and breaking away from the Ottoman Empire. The Greek revolutionary movement formed its own definition of Greekness out of the Byzantine and ancient Greek cultural heritage along with the influences of western nationalism. This attracted foreign support from the Philhellenes
