Abstract
In this article, Tsaoussis examines three major demographic changes between 1821 and 1971 and the resulting class, ethnic, and subethnic tensions and accommodations that arose. The first change was a doubling of the population between 1838 and 1920, on top of natural increase, as the new Greek state expanded its borders and outsider Greeks moved in. The second period followed the treaty with Turkey in 1923 and the subsequent exchange of refugees, which increased Greece's population by a third. The final major demographic change began in 1955 and involved urban migration and labor migration abroad, which has emptied the countryside and swollen urban centers, especially Athens.
