World War II ends as the Axis occupying forces withdraw from Greece in the fall of 1944. Competing visions for how the country should be run widen the divide between the anti-communist right and the anti-monarchist left. Guest Prof. Sakis Gekas, the HHF Chair of Modern Greek History at York University, discusses the ideological and political stakes at play and how this battle took over the streets of Athens.
