This book was released on 1984-03 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines in detail how British policy towards Greece was formulated and implemented from 1941 to 1944. The defeat of Greece and the fall of the dictatorial regime of General Metaxas confronted the British with new problems, the most important being the reconciliation of military and political objectives. The main political objective was to ensure the continuation of Britain's political influence in Greece after the war. This policy would be greatly facilitated by the restoration of King George, a firm advocate of the British connection, though the King's popularity in Greece had been seriously eroded by his close association with the Metaxas dictatorship in the years before the war. However, a policy of support for the King ran counter to the support offered by the War Office and SOE to the National Liberation Front (EAM), a communist-dominated left-wing organization and by far the strongest resistance movement in Greece.

Book Synopsis Britain and the Greek Economic Crisis, 1944-1947 by : Athanasios Lykogiannis
Download or read book Britain and the Greek Economic Crisis, 1944-1947 written by Athanasios Lykogiannis and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1944, the National Unity Government of newly liberated Greece faced a severe inflationary crisis. Although Greece could count on considerable assistance and advice from its allies, particularly Great Britain, much depended on Greece's own actions and its determination to restore economic normality. Success was meager, and by the time the British pulled out of Greece in the spring of 1947, economic stability remained elusive. Britain and the Greek Economic Crisis, 1944-1947 concentrates on Anglo-Greek interactions in economic matters during the political and economic turmoil between the Axis occupation of Greece and the Greek civil war. By analyzing the Greek crisis primarily in economic terms, Athanasios Lykogiannis avoids the political partisanship that has colored much previous writing on the subject and throws light on many issues neglected by earlier authors. Drawing on a range of untapped British, American, and Greek archival sources, as well as extensive secondary sources, the author examines the interplay of political and economic factors, such as the ingrained polarization of Greek society and the weakness and timidity of the country's governments, that aggravated and prolonged the crisis.
Book Synopsis British Policy in Greece-1944-1947 by : George Martin Alexander
Download or read book British Policy in Greece-1944-1947 written by George Martin Alexander and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this thesis is to trace the evolution of British policy toward Greece from April 19 until February 19 7. Emphasis will be placed on an analysis of the impact of British policy on Greek internal affairs. Greece's economic problems will be described in lesser detail, and only in so far as they directly impinged upon the course of her internal political development. Greece's international predicament, that of a stumbling block in East-West relations in the first years of the "Gold War," also will be treated as a secondary theme. -- The objective of the British Governments between April 19 and February 19 7 vas to secure a non-Comniuiii s t Greece governed on Western democratic lines -- non-Communist, to safegxiard Britain's strategic position in South East Europe and the Middle East; and governed in a manner accountable to the will of the people, in order that the country shcmld be stable, for an ally internally rent by oppression arid civil strife would be more a liability than an asset. This objective was to be realised in a free plebiscite and elections, to be conducted in Greece following her liberation from the Germans. -- The possibility of conducting a free plebiscite and elections proved to be so remote from the reality of Greek political life, however, that the successful implementation of British policy carne to depend to a grave degree on British, intervention in Greek internal affairs. Britain intervened against extremists of the Left and 'Right, but could not create a .Centre of sufficient strength to lead the Greeks to political stability. Her policy thus ended in failure, the failure of an industrial democracy's attempt to erect in a less developed nation a system of democratic governance beyond that nation's social and political capacity to sustain.
Book Synopsis British Military Mission (BMM) To Greece, 1942-44 by : Major S. Stephen Shrader
Download or read book British Military Mission (BMM) To Greece, 1942-44 written by Major S. Stephen Shrader and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of insurgency and counterinsurgency over the years provides a valuable tool for analysis in the current Global War on Terrorism. Failure to take into account and accurately assess political and military actions in such environments can lead to unintended consequences (potential civil war) affecting the stability of a country. Accurate assessment of the political and military actions does not guarantee success or failure, as every insurgency is a unique case, which requires observation and analysis through the strategic implications particular to each circumstance. One historical example for analysis is the British Military Mission (BMM) to Greece in 1942-44, which begs the question “did the policies utilized by the British in balancing the opposing political and military objectives of rival guerilla forces delay or help bring about the Greek Civil War?” This monograph explores the question by analyzing the historical documentation of actual events that transpired during the mission and whether they delayed or help bring about the Greek Civil War.
Download or read book The Kapetanios written by Dominique Eudes and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1973 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complicated and dramatic course of the Civil War in Greece had, for lack of parties interested in reconstructing the truth of its events, never been narrated prior to the appearance of this volume. It closed a gap in the history of our times, and did so with thoroughness and vivid journalistic immediacy. In addition to the known sources and unpublished documents, the author relied on testimony painstakingly collected from survivors of the tragedy who were scattered throughout the world. It remains the authoritative account of the kapetanios, the guerrilla chiefs who organized the partisans in the Greek mountains.

Download or read book The Second World War written by Antony Beevor and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 829 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful and comprehensive chronicle of World War II, by internationally bestselling historian Antony Beevor. Over the past two decades, Antony Beevor has established himself as one of the world's premier historians of WWII. His multi-award winning books have included Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin 1945. Now, in his newest and most ambitious book, he turns his focus to one of the bloodiest and most tragic events of the twentieth century, the Second World War. In this searing narrative that takes us from Hitler's invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939 to V-J day on August 14, 1945 and the war's aftermath, Beevor describes the conflict and its global reach -- one that included every major power. The result is a dramatic and breathtaking single-volume history that provides a remarkably intimate account of the war that, more than any other, still commands attention and an audience. Thrillingly written and brilliantly researched, Beevor's grand and provocative account is destined to become the definitive work on this complex, tragic, and endlessly fascinating period in world history, and confirms once more that he is a military historian of the first rank.
Book Synopsis Swastika over the Acropolis by : Craig Stockings
Download or read book Swastika over the Acropolis written by Craig Stockings and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swastika over the Acropolis is a new, multi-national account which provides a new and compelling interpretation of the Greek campaign of 1941, and its place in the history of World War II. It overturns many previously accepted English-language assumptions about the fighting in Greece in April 1941 – including, for example, the impact usually ascribed to the Luftwaffe, German armour and the conduct of the Greek Army Further, Swastika over the Acropolis demonstrates that this last complete strategic victory by Nazi Germany in World War II is set against a British-Dominion campaign mounted as a withdrawal, not an attempt to ‘save’ Greece from invasion and occupation. At the same time, on the German side, the campaign revealed serious and systemic weaknesses in the planning and the conduct of large-scale operations that would play a significant role in the regime’s later defeats.
