These new political players united the bulk of mobilized workers and socialists of Greece.

Balkan military adventures started long before and finished long after World War I. In September 1912 the conflagration between the Ottomans and the Christian Balkan Powers broke out. Some months later, and after the Sultan's armies had abandoned the lands north and west of Adrianople, an even crueller blitzkrieg war erupted in which Bulgaria attacked Serbia. The Treaty of Bucharest, signed in the summer of 1913, did not bring peace to Greece. Tension persisted, resulting in the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Macedonia, Thrace and Asia Minor ...

Old ethnically-Greek socialists, badly organized and at least publicly friendly to Veniselos, tried not to rock the boat. They were in disbelief that a non-hellenic and emphatically internationalist organization, as they perceived the Federacion, happened to be the strongest mass organization on Greek soil, and had the potential to become the political base of the socialist party in Greece. Through the incessant projection of socialist critique, and the adroit handling of workers' strikes the likes of which Greece had never seen, Bena ...

When the war ended in Europe on May 8, 1945, Soviet and Western (US, British, and French) troops were located in particular places, essentially, along a line in the center of Europe. Aside from a few minor adjustments, this would be the "Iron Curtain" of the Cold War. In hindsight, Yalta signified the agreement of both sides that they could stay there and that neither side would use force to push the other out. This tacit accord applied to Asia as well, as evidenced by US occupation of Japan and the division of Korea. Politically, therefore, ...

Divisions within the CPGB had emerged following the Soviet intervention to quell the Hungarian uprising in 1956 and the subsequent moves by the Khrushchev leadership in the USSR to denounce Stalin. The split within the international communist movement that eventually polarised between the positions of the Soviet Party and the Communist Party of China was not a major contributing factor and the groups that supported the Chinese position had little support within the CPGB. French remained staunchly loyal to the Soviet Union though privately he ...

The origins of the civil war lie in the occupation of Greece by Nazi Germany and Bulgaria from 1941 to 1944. King George II and his government escaped to Egypt, where they proclaimed a government-in-exile, recognised by the Western Allies, but not the Soviet Union. The Western Allies actively encouraged, even coerced, the King to appoint moderate ministers; only two of his ministers were members of the dictatorial government that had governed Greece before the Nazi German invasion. Some in the left-wing resistance claimed the government to b ...
