  Axis History Forum :: View topic - Greece of May 30 1951 unsuccessful attempts of revolution
Papagos had been given this extraordinary powers in January 1949 and it is thought (at least by some) that this contribued to final victory over the communists in August of the same year.
In the mistaken belief that Papagos had been "forced" to resign,and wishing to preserve him as head of the army (which also help them maintain their own influential positions) IDEA officers staged a coup in the early morning hours of 31 May 1951.
But in this context, Papagos' relations to the crown were not at all cordial (this does not mean that Papagos wanted a republic at the time!) and, since the IDEA officers were sympathetic to him, they were not sympathetic to the Crown either.

 HUMAN PROBLEMS
Impressed with the Papagos’ lack of possessions, the agents undertook as one of their first acts the free distribution of knives, shovels, hoes, and other agricultural implements.
The Papago pattern of life rested on a combination of hunting and gathering of wild food (cactus fruits and mesquite beans) with very small-scale flood farming along the intermittent streams.
Papago villages were small, rarely consisting of more than a hundred people, and were organized as land-using, political units, laying claim to some permanent water supply in the mountains and to an area of arable fields in the valley.

He practiced law in Serres, entered politics with the conservative People's Party (Laikon Komma) and was elected Member of Parliament for the first time at the age of 28, in the last elections held before World War II.
He performed unusually well in this position and, when Papagos died after a brief illness, King Paul of Greece immediately suggested the young Karamanlis for Prime Mininster.
In doing this, the King bypassed Stephanos Stephanopoulos and Panagiotis Kanellopoulos, the two senior Synagermos politicians who were widely considered as the heavyweights most likely to succeed Papagos.

The royalist Greek Rally Party, under Field Marshal Alexandros Papagos, commander of the national army when it defeated the DAG, included a broad spectrum of Greek society and was modeled on the French Rally Party of Charles de Gaulle.
The popularity of Papagos, who had reinstated the autonomy of the Greek military during his tenure as its commander, enabled Greek Rally to eclipse the Populists by garnering 114 seats to the Populists' two.
Stimulated by Greece's new status as a NATO ally of Turkey, Papagos began negotiations with Britain and Turkey over the status of Cyprus, a British crown colony and the home of the largest remaining Greek population in territory adjacent to Greece.

The number of Papagos living at San Xavier can only be approximately calculated, as many of them do not remain in the pueblo after the harvesting of the wheat, but go to the mountains where they find more facilities for the tending of their animals.
The Papago women were expert basket makers, but their pottery was inferior to that of the Pueblos, and the designs and patterns of both the pottery and basketry, are the same as those of the Pimas.
The dwellings of the Papagos were domeshaped, consisting of a framework of saplings, thatched with grass or leafy shrubs, with an adjacent shelter or ramada.

Government was unstable in 1950–51, but after a new constitution was ratified in 1951 and elections were held in 1952, Field Marshal Papagos became premier with a majority in the legislature.
When Papagos died in 1955, he was succeeded by Constantine Karamanlis, whose National Radical Union party increased its majority in subsequent elections (1956, 1958, 1961).
Under Papagos and Karamanlis, the Greek economy improved considerably, despite a series of damaging earthquakes in 1953–54; the United States continued to give Greece considerable economic and military aid.

Papagos still did not favour any dispersal of his forces, but he finally offered to provide three divisions and seven battalions—in all about twenty battalions.
The attitude of General Papagos was bound to react unfavourably upon the fighting spirit of his army and the failure of the Greeks to withdraw to the Aliakmon line was most serious.
The British had expected that some Greek troops could be transferred from Albania to this line, but Papagos now reported that his army was ‘exhausted and outnumbered.’ With enemy aircraft operating from the island of Rhodes, some of the Royal Air Force would have to be used to protect the sea route to Greece.

For several centuries the Pimas and the Papagos living in the Sonora Desert have been continuously occupying a precarious environment characterized by extreme fluctuations between bounty and scarcity.
The Pimas and Papagos relied on a minimax strategy, that is minimal gains for maximum safety in prehistoric times; the Papagos continued to apply this strategy up to the 20th century, succeeding in keeping their village organization in spite of bad climate and non-Indian trespassing.
While the Papagos have retained their decentralized organization of authority, consistent with their economy, technological change has forced the Pimas to adopt western democratic forms of government.
