Greek military junta of 1967-1974 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The collapse of the junta was triggered by the Cyprus debacle; some argue that the 1973 Athens Polytechnic uprising in 1973 (Greek: Η εξέγερση του Πολυτεχνείου) was the event that most discredited the military government and acted as a key catalyst for its eventual collapse. The 1967 coup and the following seven years of military rule were the epitome of 30 years of national division between the forces of the Left and the Right that can be traced to the time of the resistance against Axis occupation of Greece during WWII. The Junta exiled thousands of Greeks, with the excuse that they were "enemies of the country", supposed to be communists. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Greek_military_junta_of_1967-1974   (4294 words)

Modern Greek Society, Economy and Polity The "Greek miracle", which was a textbook example, was basically the result of the policies of the Conservative politician Konstantinos Karamanlis who governed Greece from 1955 to 1963 and from 1974 to 1980, with a mix of Keynesian and Free-Market policies. The Greek State was recognized officially in 1827 and for many decades remained a small dot on the map, a tiny country with a great deal of problems, caught in the middle of a continuous tug-of-war between the great powers. Furthermore, the Greek state was conceived (from its very beginning) as the capsule of a greater state that would include all the historical Greek world (or at least the places where Greek population was predominant). jurist.law.pitt.edu /world/greececor3.htm   (1282 words)

EMBASSY OF GREECE: PRESS OFFICE - News Flash Georgios Papadopoulos, the Greek army colonel who led the infamous 1967 military coup, died in an Athens hospital yesterday at the age of 80. The military regime fell in 1974 in the wake of a disastrous coup on Cyprus and the invasion by Turkish troops. The junta consolidated power in 1969-1972 by creating an expanded and feared police state, quashing rebellion by the use of torture, imprisonment and exile; despite this, the first rumblings of discontent were heard in February 1973 when law students in Athens occupied school premises in protest. www.greekembassy.org /press/newsflash/1999/June/nflash0628d.html   (613 words)

The Junta, 1967-1974 Greek was in many ways a very traditional society, and many people agreed with the patriotic and moralistic ideas of the junta. This was a fiasco and led to the removal of Greek troops from Cyprus. The regime was not actively opposed by most Greeks since they were generally tired of how poorly the politicians had led the country in the past 20 years. isthmia.osu.edu /teg/hist517/lec14.htm   (1385 words)

Nikos Sampson - The Greek military junta of 1967-1974 gave active support to EOKA-B. President Makarios had outlawed EOKA-B but by this time, the police,National Guard and the Civil Service were heavily infiltrated by EOKA-B, and only the death of General Grivas in 1974 enabled President Makarios to attempt to purge EOKA-B from government. Right up to his death in 2001, Sampson denied that he had been involved in the planning of the 1974 coup, saying that he had accepted the role of president (offered him by the Greek junta) in an effort to bring an end to the inter-communal conflict. Greek Cypriots condemned him for his far right-wing policies and the damage he did to inter-communal relations, as well as for (in their view) bringing catastrophe upon Cyprus in the form of the Turkish invasion and subsequent occupation of a third of the island. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Nikos_Sampson   (835 words)

Politics of Cyprus - QuickSeek Encyclopedia After the 1974 invasion following a Greek junta-based coup attempt, Makarios secured international recognition of his Greek Cypriot government as the sole legal authority on Cyprus, which has proved to be a very significant strategic advantage for the Greek Cypriots in the decades since. Since 1974, the Greek Cypriot-led government (The Republic of Cyprus) has controlled the south two thirds, and the seperatist Turkish Cypriot authorities the northern one-third. The executive, for example, was headed by a Greek Cypriot president and a Turkish Cypriot vice president, elected by their respective communities for five-year terms and each possessing a right of veto over certain types of legislation and executive decisions. politicsofcyprus.quickseek.com   (1212 words)

History of Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1967, the Greek military seized power in a coup d'état, overthrew the right-wing government of Panayiotis Kanellopoulos and established the Greek military junta of 1967-1974 which became known as the Régime of the Colonels. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, in a series of wars with the Ottomans, Greece sought to enlarge its boundaries to include the ethnic Greek population of the Ottoman Empire, slowly growing in territory and population until it reached its present configuration in 1947. Although the period of Roman rule in Greece is conventionally dated as starting from the sacking of Corinth by the Roman Lucius Mummius in 123 BC, Macedonia had already come under Roman control with the defeat of its king, Perseus, by the Roman Aemilius Paullus at Pydna in 168 BC. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_Greece   (6250 words)

POLITICS THEORY But the years of the Colonels start in fact before the tanks rolled in April 21st, 1967; furthermore their influence was felt after Greeks streamed out to celebrate the arrival of Karamanlis and the restoration of democracy on July 23rd, 1974. Further to such ills, the colonel´s Junta was instrumental in exploding a number of myths that Greeks had learned to live with: Greeks believed they had some sort of instinctive regard for democracy, yet they lived without much pain under the dictatorship. Unfortunately, the Junta was imposed by Greek, condoned by Greeks and overturned by the Turks (with the invasion of Cyprus). www.hri.org /Samizdat/epolthe2.htm   (731 words)
