TURKEY
The
Republic
of
Turkey
was
the
successor
state
of
the
Ottoman
Empire
(1299–1923),
following
the
overthrow
of
Sultan
Mehmet
VI
Vahdettin
by
the
new
Republican
assembly
of
Turkey
in
1922.
This
new
regime
delivered
the
'coup
de
grâce'
to
the
Ottoman
state
which
had
been
practically
wiped
away
from
the
world
stage
following
the
First
World
War.

GREECE
The Greek Civil War
(1944-1949), was
fought in Greece
between the Governmental
forces of Greece supported
by the UK at first, and
later by the USA, and the
Democratic Army of Greece;
the military branch of the
Greek communist party.
It
represented the first
example of a post-war West
interference in the
political situation of a
foreign country. The victory
of the British - and later
US-supported government
forces led to Greece's
membership in NATO and
helped to define the
ideological balance of power
in the Aegean for the entire
Cold War.
