Arvanites (Greek: Αρβανίτες, Arvanitika: Arbëreshë or Αρbε̰ρεσ̈ε̰; see also below about names) are a population group in Greece of, ultimately, Albanian origin who traditionally speak Arvanitika, a form of Tosk Albanian.In 1899, leading representatives of the Arvanites in Greece, among them descendants of the independence heroes Markos Botsaris and Kitsos Tzavelas, published a manifesto calling their fellow Albanians outside Greece to join in the creation of a common Albanian-Greek state.[12] In 1903, Arvanites like Vangelis Koropoulis from Mandra, Attica, participated in the Macedonian Struggle.[13]
During the 20th century, after the creation of the Albanian nation-state, Arvanites in Greece have come to dissociate themselves much more strongly from the Albanians. Most sources agree that Souli was settled first by Greek and Arvanite settlers who moved up into the mountain areas from the coastal area of Thesprotia. Biris places the ultimate origin of these first Souliote settlers further north in Albania, arguing that their folk culture showed traces of Gheg rather than Tosk influence.With the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807 and the détente between Russia and France, the Russian forces withdrew from the Ionian Islands and the French occupied them. The Souliotes and other components of Russian units entered service with the French in a unithttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souliotes known as the Albanian Regiment (Régiment Albanaise.

Arvanitas, aka the Albanians of Greece, created the modern Greek state.
Too bad our historians are dumb and don't write about it, but the facts are there.
