The Greek Civil War using Google Earth 

Fun fact: During the Greek Civil War, both sides employed a unique form of propaganda: they would write their messages on the sides of donkeys, which were then let loose to wander into enemy territory. This unconventional method allowed each faction to spread their messages and disinformation effectively.

First Balkan war, Second Balkan war, First World War, Anatolian war, Second World War. Greece: "Let's make a civil war!"

For anyone wondering how the Communists inflicted so many casualties is because they were hiding in the mountains. Greeks often used this tactic to lead them to victory.

To those who think that the Greek communists had a chance in taking control, the Greek leadership of the communists was pretty much divided internally, not also counting the Tito-Stalin split on the global scale. Aris Velouchiotis (the field commander of EAM-ELAS, the paramilitary force of the Communist Party) was pretty much abandoned when he refused to surrender to the demands of the Varkiza agreement imposed by Nicholaos Zachariadis (the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece). Also, Zachariadis disagreement with Markos Vafeiadis (another leading figure of EAM) for the question of leadership, put strain in the relationship between those two.

Fun Fact: In this war Greeks killed more Greeks than Turks did in Greco-Turkish War in Anatolia.

If you look buck at history, this our only serious problem as people that hasn't changed for thousands of years.As a country,we can get divided pretty easily.And when foreign powers enter into our political games,the situation gets tough.Even from the ancient years.After the Persian wars,the Persians took advantage of internal disputes and in a way,they started the Peloponnesian war, which was also a civil war.

The video would have been better if you showed some video or had audio from Greece at the time instead of just foreign media but it's still good 👍

My grandpa was born in 1943, in the civil war, He survived and his family, This war was tough.

When soviet and Americans try to catch spartans to there hands, there is civil war :

Absolutely phenomenal man! Keep up the great content!!

My grandfather fought in this war with both sides . First, forcibly taken from his village by the Communist side with other men. He escaped and returned back, only to be conscripted by the army in a few days. People from the same family would rat out their relatives because they supported the opposite side, stupidity and some high ego leaders were the only ones to win. Luckily, he survived to tell me a lot of stories of these dark times and he would also show me pictures of himself back then. It was funny how many times both sides would start singing the same songs together while hanging out in the trenches.

Who fights 6 wars in 30 years Greece:"Yes"

But with such small forces they were able to inflict such heavy losses on the Greek army. Wow

Dude on of your videos was used in a Turkish news channel called TV100 and I have the footage.

Wow I love your channel

ya'll, February 30th doesnt exist

Where are the voices of the belligerents? Zachariades, Papagos, Vafiades, Tsakalotos etc...

US general George Marshall supported Greek government's annihilation of Greek Communism, on the contrary, he showed much sympathy to Chinese Communism and Mao.

who is the one speaking in the end of the video? (the speech)

Good job on the upload.❤

The atrocities of this were beyond imagination.

Can I share some of your videos as shorts on my channel, mentioning your name and channel?

It wasn't a Greek "civil war". It was a war between Nationalist Greeks and pontian/pontic, asia minor turk communists. Anatolian "Greeks" are turks, persians, kurds, georgians, laz, armenians, chechens, dagestanis, etc. Especially from pontus region. Many of them were also turkophones. All of them score high Western Asia DNA. 8/10 leaders of the communists on average were pontic turks. Since they came here in 1923 without ever fighting for their lands, and finding an already liberated land to live in, and stole many fertile lands from actual Greeks. Around 1.5 mil came in 1914-1924, and many of them were not just dissatisfied with the lands the state gave them, they wanted even more, and also still had ties to Moscow, and the bolsheviks, especially when many of them were still living in the Caucasus such as Georgia (Batum, Sokhum, Tsalka, Tbilisi), Georgia/Armenia/turkey/USSR lands (Kars, Erzerum / Erzurum, etc.) and actual pontus. They never felt Greek and Greeks never liked them. Pontic turks have songs with lyrics that go like "In foreign countries I'm Greek but in Greece I'm foreign" crying about it. Pontic turk interests never aligned with those of Greece. Even when the mainlander Greeks fought in Anatolia in 1919-1922 to liberate it from the turks, almost no one from the "native Greeks" aka Anatolians volunteered, and they all supported the USSR which in turn supported kemal, which came back at them hard. And the few that volunteered had office positions away from the front, and a lot of them ran to the British and French embassies to go abroad and defect the draft. Pontic turks just want free gibz! If you check the biographies of the 2 most important leaders of the communists, aka Vafeiadis and Zakhariadis, you will see that both of them were pontic. Pontic turks wanted to detach all of Northern Greece, down to Thessaly and either share it amongst themselves or at least give it to Yugoslavia. If they could, they would turn all of Greece communist... But they couldn't. Now they are still coping about it.

Greco-Romans try not to fight themselves challenge (impossible)

Disgraceful. We still carry generational trauma in my family. Us Greeks are so easy to divide and turn against our fellow Greeks

It was a war between Greeks and Slavic, Albanian and Bulgarian army and some greeks who weren't their country more than the party

"Civil war" should be in quotations

The Hellenic army had around 15.000 deads, while the communists around 40.000

After the Warsaw Pact was signed and ratified the nation of Greece had a cilvil war to determine the supporters of Warsaw Pact and the supporters of allied / neutral Greece . After the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed and signed by places in N.A and E.U Greece joined in 1952 (I think) and then defeated the communists for real

Honestly you should have more subs the subs that you deserve is more than 10x of what you have rn

Could you make a Video on operation desert storm?

Where did you even get this number. Deaths only were a few thousand

This war always causes me shivers, especially when my uncle explains how my Grandfather's brother fought communists in 1948 3 days after the communists tried to take them on their side, my grandpa just lost his father 4 years ago from the SS while trying to free Salonica from the Bulgarians and the Germans, he was just 12 years old back then, and at the age of 16 with his older brother they fought and the communists too!!

Churchill:

Do the japanese invasion of philippines pls day 1

Greek civilwar roleplay when? 🤔

Και ο Αμερικανός εμφύλιος Ήταν σημαντικός στην παγκόσμια ιστορία.

Stalin didn't support well.

Somehow I appreciate our anti-communist stance. Communism managed to put Greece and Turkey in one side.

Both my grand-grandparents from mother and father side died in this war. One was killed from the communists on Grammos mountain as he was conscript of the army and the other was executed from the communists because he didn't want to give animals to feed them as he was a sepherd. But even though my family normaly hates communists... I don't. I actually agree with them now in many topics.

As Greeks we can thank the Americans and CIA for this war. Naturally it would have never happened. They started a civil war and sold napalm to be dropped on our hills. Russia gave us freedom, America gave us civil war. Remember it 🇬🇷🇷🇺

Uh, I thought it was like the communist of Greece and where it had started in Greece's war.
