The Ottoman rule and modern history
The expansion of the Turks in the Lakonian region met with great resistance by the people, whose leader was Korkodylos Kladas. In the end, despite the Turks¢ victorious battles, the Mani area, as well as a major part of Lakonia held on to their independence.
Once the Venetians, under Francesco Morosini reconquered the Peloponnese (1685 - 1715), Lakonia became one of the four administrative regions of the Peloponnese peninsula.
Lakonia¢s contribution to the nation¢s War of Independence against the Ottoman empire was most significant. On 17 March 1821 the people of Mani were the first to raise and pledge to the banner of Revolution in the church of Taxiarches in Areopolis, while on 23 March 1821 they freed the town of Kalamata from Ottoman bondage.
Following the constitution of the modern Greek state, Lakonia¢s development was slow. However since the early twentieth century economy and culture in the area were met with great progress.
