I wrote a fifty-page research paper at the University of Connecticut on Eleftherios Venizelos. I used only PRIMARY SOURCES for this work. I admit, I did not know too much about him other than he was from Crete, he was a Greek Hero, and the Athens International Airport was named after him (It is one of the most beautiful airports I have seen thus far..and I have seen many).

As a proud Greek-American, This may not be the proper thing to admit, but it gave me a non-biased view of the subject at hand.

I learned a substantial amount of information related to the period of Turkish rule of Crete, the Great Powers negative attitudes toward Cretan unification with Greece, and of course, British, French, Italian, and American, and yes, even Turkish involvement-both positive and negative toward Greece in these years.

These things I learned and included in this Wiki came directly from diaries, the Foreign Relations of the United States volumes, and New York Times articles from the time (Yes, I actually paid to get copies.)

Thank you for your attention on this very important man.

If you have any questions, I do have all the sources I used.
