"Hellinoglosson Xenodoheion" (Hellenophone Hotel) is established

A secret society was established in Paris, aiming to prepare the conditions for political change for the Greek people. It was created by the Frenchman Choiseal Gouffier and Athanasios Tsakalov, who later founded "Filiki Etaireia" (Friendly Society.) The establishment of the Hotel can be considered as part of a trend of the time, which had the freemasons as a central point.  This new type of secret organization was defined by its concealed nature, the ritualistic initiation process, and enforcing political activism among its members.
