The Ionian visions of Ali Pasha and Lefkada
The present study examines the policy of Ali Pasha of Ioannina towards the Western powers, especially the aims and methods by which the Pasha tried to dominate the former Venetian possessions (Amvrakikos, Ionian Islands), an area in which were also strongly interested the European forces. This policy had to somehow not contradict the general policy of the Ottoman Empire, which made things more complicated. In addition are given information about the 1807 operation against Lefkada, based on the Ali Pasha Archive of the Gennadius Library.
