Pronunciation depends on writing. Cod in Greek is written ΜΠΑ ΚΑ ΛΙΑ ΡΟΣ. The first two letters ΜΠ make the sound "b" as in "big". We don't have a letter for the sound "b" so we use ΜΠ combined. In English you can write it bakaliaros. We never pronounce it vakaliaros.

Sir, with all due respect, and acknowledge that you choose my country for your living, let me corect you. 25th of March 1821, is not the anniversary of Independence of Greece. Greece became a State in 1832. Eleven years after the said year. What this date is named for us Greeks is "The beginning of the Greek Revolution for Independence" as it is officially named, or "Greek Revolution", for short. 😊 Independence got to their respective dates, USA, India, Ghana, or maybe Senegal, and Algeria. And we got acknowledged as an independent country, but after 11 years of bloody Revolution. 25th of March is the beginning of this struggle. The Greek Revolution. Thank you for having me in the comments section of your video.

After 5 years of struggle a huge Turkish reinforcement came by sea from Egypt to Peloponnese, to seize any rebellion against Ottoman rule of Peloponnese. Imagine.

We can't observe 2 things. One. Turkey as a contemporary state is 100 years younger then Greece, been the same. Both of them been revolted against the Ottomans. And two. There was never a fixed date of the Greek Independence, as the country enlarged the borders slowly after many wars which lasted 100 years, till the present day.
