	Greek Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some in the left-wing resistance claimed the government to be illegitimate, on account of its roots in the dictatorship of General Ioannis Metaxas from 1936 to 1941.
		The EAM and its military wing, the Greek National Liberation Army (Ethnikos Laikos Apeleftherotikos Stratos, or ELAS), were established by the Communist Party of Greece (the KKE).
		In April 1944 the Greek armed forces in Egypt mutinied against the Western Allies, demanding that a Government of National Unity should be established based on the PEEA principles.

	The Greek Civil War 1943-1949
		This study of the Greek Civil War begins with a dis- cussion of the roots of the conflict in the German occupation of Greece in 1941.
		Among its points were the reorganization of the Greek armed forces, the unification of guerrilla bands under the government, the end of the reign of terror, the provision of supplies and food to the people of Greece, and the provision for early elections on the constitutional question.
		Thirdly, the Greek government was not in a strong position, given that it had an inchoate defense establishment and a barely constitutional government under the Regent.

	Greek Civil War - Gurupedia
		The issue of disarmaming the resistance organisations was the cause of the friction between the Papandreou government and its EAM members.
		The outbreak of fighting between British troops and an anti-German resistance movement, while the war was still being fought, was a serious political problem for Churchill's coalition government, and caused much protest in the British and American press and the House of Commons.
		It was not until the fall of the military regime in 1974 that the KKE was re-legalised, and not until the election of a left-wing government in 1981 that Greek politics returned to a "normal" state.

	Greek Students and Greek Resistance: A Yellowist Look at Recent Elections
		Optimism is the by-word of the Greek regime.
		One youth with whom I spoke — a law student employed part-time in a government ministry — seemed typical of the average Greek student whose distaste for the regime is tempered by pragmatism and dreams of emigration.
		The terrible irony of Greek resistance is that the burden of opposing fascism has fallen upon the bourgeoisie — the upper classes, intellectuals, former politicians, artists, professionals, and students.

	SHMEION ANAFORAS - POINT OF REFERENCE - SUMMER 1997
		Mazower turns effortlessly from his description of Greek civilian reactions to occupation and the formation of Greek resistance, to an analysis of the strategies developed by Nazi officials, to issues of motivation and morale in the German army, to the fate of the Greek Jews.
		The portrayal of Greek resistance leaders such as Aris Velouchiotis, one of the founders of ELAS, and a leader of the andartes, is remarkable in its vividness.
		While the Greeks were not completely free to shape their national destiny when occupied in 1941, upon liberation in 1944-45, or even at the moment of rightist political triumph in 1949, at critical junctures they did participate actively in influencing decisions of immediate concern to their national life.

		The actual motives for Greek resistance are not as obvious as they may appear.
		It would not be overly cynical to suppose that the only reason for resistance on the part of these cities may be for their hatred of the neighbouring city, Thebes.
		This decision was a costly on the Greek front, as during the war, there was more of an incentive for the pro-Persian contingent to fight harder.

	Macedonia for the Macedonians
		Greek propagandists claim that the King of Macedonia, Alexander the Great, was in fact, Greek, despite the universal acceptance of historians and scholars that Alexander was indeed Macedonian.
		Evidence from phonology indicates that the ancient Macedonian language was distinct from ancient Greek and closer to the Tracian and Illirian languages.
		But resistance by Macedonian officers and by the Greek Callisthenes (a nephew of Aristotle who had joined the expedition as the official historian of the crusade) defeated the attempt.

		In October of 1940 Mussolini demanded that Greece agree to the Italian take-over of Albania and to the violation of the Greek border.
		The Greek army, along with British troops, withdrew to Crete, along with the king--they hoped to use Crete as a large fortress, protected by the British navy, to hold the Germans off.
		All resistance groups were republican in sentiment (i.e., they were against the return of the king) and they all advocated open resistance.

		In fact, as a result of the Korean War and the American policy of containing the communists, the ceiling strength for the Greek military establishment was set to 94,700 to be attained by 31 December 1950; with the distribution of personnel: 80,000 Army, 8,500 Navy, 6,200 Air Force.

		It was in fact the conquering of the west coast of Asia minor which put the city-states of Greece, primarily Athens, in conflict with the huge Persian war machine.
		The ionic states which were formally Greek colonies rose up against being ruled by the Persian empire in the ionic revolt of 499 BC.
		They pleaded with Athens for support in the war, to which Athens agreed because they sympathized with their Greek cousins, and also had the underlying fear Greece could be next.
