The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

In 1830, Prince Otto von Wittelsbach became King of Greece, a country on the periphery of Europe that had just gained state independence. The miserable economic situation made it necessary to borrow from abroad. The lecture examines the types of creditors who advanced money to Greece and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the various forms of credit.
