Article
Count Ioannis Antoniou Kapodistrias (Greek: Κόμης Ιωάννης Αντωνίου Καποδίστριας; c. 10 February 1776 –27 September 1831), sometimes anglicized as John Capodistrias, was a Greek statesman who was one of the most distinguished politicians and diplomats of 19th-century Europe.
Kapodistrias's involvement in politics began as a minister of the Septinsular Republic in the early 19th century. He went on to serve as the foreign minister of the Russian Empire from 1816 until 1822, when he became increasingly active in supporting the Greek War of Independence that had broken out a year earlier.
