Greek diaspora

The Greek diaspora refers to the spread of Greek people and their descendants outside Greece due to migration over centuries. This movement was driven by trade, economic opportunities, conflict, and geopolitical changes. Today, millions of Greeks and their descendants live worldwide, especially in countries like the United States, Australia, Canada, and Turkey. This global community maintains cultural ties through language, traditions, and organizations, contributing to both their adopted countries and their Greek heritage. The diaspora plays a vital role in Greece’s identity and economy through remittances, cultural exchange, and diplomatic relationships.
