The Morea expedition was an intervention of the French Army in the Peloponnese (then known by its medieval name "Morea") between 1828 and 1833, at the time of the Greek War of Independence, with the aim of liberating the region from the Turkish-Egyptian occupation forces.
The members were drawn from military and scientific institutions.
Among the members of the expedition present in Morea, ten would subsequently become Ministers (of War, Navy or Foreign Affairs in France, or of Education in Greece for Michel Schinas) and one Prime Minister of France (Eugène Cavaignac).
The complete organizational chart of the General Staff is given by Captain Alexandre Duheaume in annex to his Souvenirs de la Morée, pour servir à l'histoire de l'expédition française en 1828-1829., Anselin, Paris, 1833.
