Greece

Greece, and known since ancient times as Hellas, is a country located in southeastern Europe. During the Second World War, the Greeks were hailed by Allied leaders for their actions in repelling an Italian invasion. The country was ultimately occupied by Germany in April 1941. A Greek government-in-exile was then formed in Crete, and later Cairo. Violent unrest broke out in Greece in 1944 following the country's liberation, culminating in a civil war in 1946.
