Samos edit
Samos had been an independent principality, nominally under Turkish control, but with British, French and Russian protection. A revolt took place in September 1912 and the Turkish garrison withdrew. A provisional government was established under President Sophoulis, who sought political union with Greece. This was achieved by the Treaty of London on 30 May 1913.
Samos issued its own stamps from November 1912. There were four issues and 19 stamps in all. Greek stamps were introduced in 1914, but there were also overprints of the Samos types until 1915.

Sardinia edit
Sardinia is a large island in the western Mediterranean, south of Corsica. Before the unification of Italy, the Kingdom of Sardinia was the name applied to a union of Sardinia and Piedmont, although the island was very much the junior partner. Stamps of this state were issued in Turin 1851–1862 but the country's name is not shown. Gibbons list these stamps under Sardinia, which is strictly correct, but historians generally refer to the state as Piedmont. To prevent confusion between the 19th century state and the present island province, this work has Piedmont as the specific entry and Sardinia as a minor entry.
