Primer: Part 1

Happy to say welcome to what will be the first episode of this project. On this Episode Tom and Basil kick off what will be an entire segment, (its own mini-series really) on the Greek Civil War. To make sure you guys aren't entirely lost , we've put together 4 Primer Episodes, which will hopefully serve their purpose and get you in the mood for some lesser known topics of modern Greek history.

In Primer: Part 1, we fly through Greek history, up to roughly 1923 and what is known as the Asia Minor Catastrophe.
