Indeed but there was a small time gap between these rebellions... Ali rebels first and upon getting rid off him Danube under Ypsilantis revolts and upon Ypsilanti's failure Peloponese revolts...
It would be interesting if all 3 rebellions break out the same time...
Ali Pasha was aware of "Filiki Etairia" (a secret association preparing the ground for the revolution) since 1815-1816... However its not clear if they tried to recruit him or if he had any contacts with them...
An interesting twist would be if Ali Pasha was recruited to the Filiki Etairia and all 3 rebellions break out on the same time...
Don_Georgio,That would never have happened because the 'Filiki Etaireia' had offered the leadership of the Greek revolution to General Alexander Ypsilantis prince of Moldavia and Adjutant to the Czar of all Russias,and that revolution started when Ypsilantis crossed the river Prut on 20th February 1820.There was no planning then for the revolution in the south since Ypsilantis raised the flag for all Christian populations in the Balcans,
but I can see your point if the warlords of Peloponnese had started the revolution about the same time since the actual diversion they were expecting was the march of Hursid's army north to fight Ali Pasha Tepelenli,leaving behind him little standing army plus the armies guarding the cities of Peloponnese especially those of great strategic value like Nafplion,Monemvasia,Methone,Corone,Pylos,Tripoli,Patra,Corinthos.Patra.I can't see open alliance of the Greek National Revolutionary Congress of Troezene with Ali at that time whom they considered worse than the Turks.Tacitly of course the Greeks considered that the Greeks fighting with Ali against the Turks were indirectly helping the Greek cause.
