Greece (1941-1974): Years of Occupation, Years of Strife, and Years
of Exclusion examines the history and politics of Greece during the
period Greece experienced years of brutal foreign occupation, a
savage civil war, dominance by those on the Right of the
ideological spectrum, and a military dictatorship. One overarching
characteristic of this phase in Greek history was constant
interference by many including, of course, the foreign occupiers as
well as the British and the Americans. In addition, during these
years certain segments of the population were prosecuted,
persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, sent to labor camps, exiled, and
many were killed because they resisted the occupiers, or because of
their ideological beliefs and political standing. These are among
the reasons why so many Greeks consider their modern history to be
difficult and “unkind”. Although foreign interference has not
lessened, some might argue, it has increased since the financial
crisis beginning in 2008-2009, many aspects of the exclusivist
state have been eliminated after the collapse of the military
dictatorship in 1974. And despite the brief rise of extremist
Left-wing and Right-wing, today’s political landscape is more
moderate. Good reasons for Greeks to think that better days lay
ahead.
