Fk nazis, they knew Greece would defend themself+taking North Epirus.
The greek minister spoke french to the italian ambassador ? For style I suppose ?
Merry OXI day, fellow Greeks!
The Greeks would lose one tenth or 507-807 thousand of their people in the war.
I always found it awesome that Greece celebrates not the end of the wars but the beginning of them.
Sure the liberation gets remembered, but the big celebrations are the moments that the Greek people stood up and said “we fight!”.
> Despite his own authoritarian rule, Metaxas sided with the Allies and all those who opposed Nazi Germany, in defense of the Free World.
Admittedly, I don’t know Greek history but this seems like some pretty clear propaganda. Very cool video otherwise but it seems like it was the Greek people who were courageous and deserving of praise (kudos to them), not the authoritarian leader, who probably just wanted to remain in power. Or is there more to the story?
I personally love Italy and wish it can prosper. Unlike Germany i relate way more to it because of culture and annoying stereotypes that was thrown to us recently. People here dont have a problem with Italy but Germany caused huge attrocities and they assasinated whole villages when they arrived.
