Let’s check the chronological order of the events related to the Greek War of Independence:
- (iv) The Greek nationalists began their struggle for freedom with the support of other Europeans . This event happened in 1821 , when the Greeks revolted against the Ottoman Empire and declared their independence. They were inspired by the revolutionary nationalism in Europe and received help from other Greeks living in exile and many West Europeans who admired ancient Greek culture. So, this is the first event in the sequence.
- (iii) - The English poet Lord Byron joined the Greek fighters and died of fever. This event happened in 1824 , when Lord Byron, a famous poet and a supporter of the Greek independence, went to Greece to fight in the war. He organized funds and supplies for the rebels, but he died of fever before he could see any action. He became a symbol of the romantic spirit of the Greek revolution. So, this is the second event in the sequence.

France had a liberal revolution that inspired Belgium and Greece
. This event happened in
July 1830
, when the Bourbon kings, who had been restored to power after the Vienna Congress, were overthrown by liberal revolutionaries who installed a constitutional monarchy with Louis Philippe at its head. This sparked an uprising in Brussels which led to Belgium breaking away from the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. This also influenced the Greek nationalists who saw it as a sign of the weakening of the conservative regimes in Europe. So, this is the
third event
in the sequence.
- (i) - The Treaty of Constantinople recognized Greece as an independent nation. This event happened in 1832 , when the Ottoman Empire finally accepted the loss of Greece and signed a treaty with Britain, France, and Russia. The treaty recognized Greece as an independent nation and established its borders. This was the culmination of the Greek war of independence and marked a new era for Greece. So, this is the fourth event in the sequence.
Thus, the correct chronological order of the events is (D): (iv) - (iii) - (ii) - (i)
Hence, option (D) is correct
