As a result, Naum Peiov in this book has given the reader a brief but clear insight as to “what actually happened” during the Civil War in Greece and the role the Macedonian people played in it. Given the fact that relatively little documentation and scant memoir material has been available, it is understandable that the author has not been able TO, nor has he made claims of having covered the full course of the Greek Civil War and the entire role the Macedonian people played in it. Also, given the time that the material for this book was written (1955), this is one of the first works to come out that has attempted to examine Greek Civil War events and problems to provide us with a glimpse of what took place. Given his personal involvement in the movement, it was not possible for the author to escape the emotional side of his experience, which can be felt in his writing style. However, regardless of the lack of documentation and narrow presentation, the reader will get the idea of what the motives were behind starting the Greek Civil War and will learn about the lies and fraud perpetrated by the leadership of the Greek Communist Party (CPG). This was the same CPG that led the liberation struggle against the German, Italian and Bulgarian occupiers but allowed the restoration of the monarchy in Greece. This was the same CPG which caused great political instability in the new Greek regime and then allowed the elements which collaborated with the fascist occupiers to emerge. The CPG leadership demonstrated no clear political or strategic concepts in the way it led the Greek Civil War. This inevitably had dire consequences for those involved, especially for the democratic movement which supported the CPG, included in which were the 4 majority of the Greek people as well as all the other people living in Greece. The oppressed Macedonian people in Greek occupied Macedonia, oppressed by the Greek authorities, massively participated in the struggle against Italian aggression in Greece. They massively participated in the Greek national liberation struggle from 1941 to 1944 and in the Greek Civil War believing that if they helped the Greeks liberate themselves they would be liberated from Greek oppression. The Macedonian people made great sacrifices, both human and material, when they fought against the fascist occupiers and against the reactionary forces in Greece. But, it seems all those sacrifices were for nothing. After the wars ended, consecutive Greek regimes refused to recognize the Macedonian contribution and refused to grant the Macedonian people their human and national rights. The Macedonian people were, once again, persecuted to no end by these inhuman Greek regimes. After the First World War ended, many Macedonians from Greek occupied Macedonia fled to Bulgaria and to overseas countries (United States of America, Canada, etc.). During and after the Greek Civil War many more Macedonians fled as political exiles and refugees, and found themselves in a number of European countries. This time they were joined by a number of progressive Greeks - patriots. Through this book, the author has given us an interesting point of view which can somewhat help us determine the causes of the Greek Civil War and, by reviewing what happened to the population, we can indirectly observe the fate of the Macedonian people after the Greek Civil War. Academic Mihailo Apostolski Out of respect for the reader, please allow me the opportunity to inform you about some of the things that contributed to my effort to realize this work. 1. First, it should be known that the material for this book was written in the period between 1953 and 1955. At the end of 1955 the manuscript was given to the Institute of National History in Skopje. Meaning, the manuscript was written almost immediately after the 5 Greek Civil War had ended and amid sharp attacks from the then leaders of the Communist Party of Greece against the Macedonian leadership, followed by slander and innuendo. 2. While the book was being prepared for publication, its content was heavily reviewed in order to shorten it, to present new facts which became available later, and to make sure it agreed with the then “current” political situation. 3. My aim for writing this work was not to write the history of the Greek Civil War. My objectives for writing this book were: a) To highlight the then socio-political and military situation in Greece and in the Balkans and to outline the reasons for the course of events that led to the Greek Civil War. b) To highlight the position, role and contribution of the Macedonian people from Greek occupied Macedonia in the gigantic struggle of the progressive forces against the fascist regime in Greece and against the imperialist interventionists. It is important at this point to emphasize that the position, role and contribution of the Macedonian people in this war has been belittled, deemphasized and falsified by many of the Macedonian people’s so- called “friends” as well as their enemies. Less than twenty years after the Greek Civil War ended, a new and monstrous dictatorship was introduced which completely stripped the Macedonian people of even the most elementary human and democratic rights. The war for the Macedonian people did not end but continued with people being permanently exiled, sent back to the prison camps in the dry islands, and isolated, stigmatized and cast aside in Greek society… the only fault… their political conviction or their non-Greek nationality. The Macedonian people in Greek occupied Macedonia have been stripped of their human and national rights, including the right to speak their own native mother tongue, since the Metaxas fascist dictatorship came to power in Greece just before the Second World War. This cruelty has continued to this 6 day. And as such, the Macedonian people in Greek occupied Macedonia were left with no other choice but to struggle for their rights and dignity. The Author Skopje, November 1967 About Naum Peiov Naum Peiov was born in 1919 in the village Gabresh, Kostur Region. He was a member of the pre-war CPG. In 1939 he was arrested by the Greek police. He joined NOV in 1941. He was Commander of the Macedonian Partisan Detachment “Lazo Trpovski”. He was a member of the SNOF Kostur District Committee. He led a group of fighters who left the ranks of ELAS and fled to Vardar Macedonia in May 1944. He was Deputy Commander of the First Aegean Brigade. After the war he served in a variety of high political and social functions in the Socialist Republic of Macedonia. 7 PART ONE – The Greek Civil War 1945 – 1949 - Introduction During World War II, conditions were created in Greece to destroy the inhuman Greek bourgeoisie regime and to establish a popular people’s government. However, because of subjective weaknesses and errors made by the resistance movement leadership in its dealings against the fascist occupiers, the national

  • Misunderstood and Forgotten: the Greek Naval Mutiny of April 1944 Mark C
    Misunderstood and Forgotten 367 Misunderstood and Forgotten: The Greek Naval Mutiny of April 1944 Mark C. Jones Abstract After being driven from Greece by the German military in 1941, the Royal Hellenic Navy (RHN) operated alongside Britain’s Royal Navy (RN) from bases in Egypt, Lebanon, and Malta. In April 1944 the RHN experienced a widespread mutiny, which began in Alexandria, Egypt, over the political composition of the Greek government. This essay explores the importance of the Alexandria mutiny to the RHN. It investigates the role of the navy in the royalist/republican rivalry of the 1920s–1930s, the wartime return to service of republican officers, the RHN’s operations under British direction in the eastern Mediterranean, the political orientation of the government-in-exile, disturbances in the RHN prior to the mutiny, the events of the mutiny itself, the aftermath of the mutiny, how the mutiny affected the RN-RHN relationship, and the significance of the mutiny within the context of naval history in general. Wartime RN records held at the Public Record Office outside London, United States Navy intelligence reports held at the National Archives and Records Administration at College Park, Maryland, as well as unpublished and published secondary sources, provide the basis of this investigation. Multinational naval operations are a common occurrence in today’s world. While the United States Navy is presently the most powerful in the world, it frequently operates with ships from allied navies to reach its security goals. Such allied cooperation dates back to World War II when escort groups in the Battle of the Atlantic were composed of ships from the U.S., Canadian, and Royal Navies along with a handful of Polish, Free French, Norwegian, and Dutch ships.

  • The Unsettled Debate: Monarchy and Republic in Spain and Greece in the Interwar Years*
    ■ Assaig] ENTREMONS. UPF JOURNAL OF WORLD HISTORY Barcelona ﺍ Universitat Pompeu Fabra Número 6 (juny 2014) www.entremons.org The Unsettled Debate: Monarchy and Republic in Spain and Greece in the Interwar Years* Enric UCELAY-DA CAL (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) abstract The following essay examines the political development in Spain and Greece between the World War I and World War II, comparing these two Mediterranean countries and placing them in a broader European and global context. The conflict between the supporters of monarchy and republic as forms of government was extremely important in the political debate in both countries, and shaped their history in a quite remarkable way. The discussion of these intricate dynamics will help to appreciate the problems that Spain and Greece faced at that time, and can also contribute to a deeper understanding of some key features of the historical change in these two countries. resumen El siguiente ensayo examina el desarrollo político en España y Grecia en el período entre la Primera y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, comparando estos dos países mediterráneos y situándolos en un contexto europeo y global más amplio. El conflicto entre los partidarios de la monarquía y la república como formas de gobierno fue muy importante en el debate político de ambos países, influyendo en su historia de una manera muy notable. La discusión de estas dinámicas complicadas ayudará a apreciar mejor los problemas a los que España y Grecia se enfrentaban en ese momento, contribuyendo asimismo a una comprensión más profunda de algunas de las características clave del cambio histórico en estos dos países.

Was your grandfather Risto involved in the Illinden Uprising? I remember seeing a photo on someone’s wall. What can you tell me about his life in the village? RISTO – My grandfather Risto was not involved in the Ilinden Uprising because, from what my father had told me, he was not in Macedonia. He was on pechalba (migrant work) but I don’t know where and for how long. He purchased a rifle and wanted to return but the borders were shut and he could not come back in time. He did come back later and brought the rifle with him and gave it to his oldest son Lazo who then used it during the German-Italian- Bulgarian occupation when he was a partisan for a brief period of time before he died in 1943.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • The Road to American Participation in the Greek Civil War, 1943-1949
    FROM SKEPTICAL DISINTEREST TO IDEOLOGICAL CRUSADE: THE ROAD TO AMERICAN PARTICIPATION IN THE GREEK CIVIL WAR, 1943-1949 by STEPHEN VILLIOTIS B.A. University of Central Florida, 2004 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2013 © 2013 Stephen Villiotis ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the way in which the United States formulated its policy toward Greece during the Greek civil war (1943-1949). It asserts that U.S. intervention in Greece was based on circumstantial evidence and the assumption of Soviet global intentions, rather than on dispatches from the field which consistently reported from 1943-1946 that the Soviets were not involved in that country’s affairs. It also maintains that the post-Truman Doctrine American policy in Greece was in essence, a continuation of British policy there from 1943-1946, which meant to impose an unpopular government on the people of Greece, and tolerated unlawful violence of the extreme Greek right-wing. iii For my Parents iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank first and foremost my parents for without whom, this undertaking would not have been possible. I could not imagine how my life would have turned out without your support. To my wife Stephanie, thank you for always believing in me. You are amazing. I would also like to thank my fellow classmates, Dan, Ryan, Andrew, Derek, Lew, Scott, Jennifer, and Shannon. Your friendship and support made this experience worth every second.

  • 15-Year-Old Greek Students Consider the Removal of Children in the Greek Civil War’
    Kosmas, V. (2019) ‘Student responses to differing accounts of a controversial historical issue: 15-year-old Greek students consider the removal of children in the Greek Civil War’. History Education Research Journal, 16 (2): 209–28. DOI https://doi.org/10.18546/HERJ.16.2.05 Student responses to differing accounts of a controversial historical issue: 15-year-old Greek students consider the removal of children in the Greek Civil War Vasileios Kosmas* – Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Abstract In recent decades, controversial issues have come to the forefront of history teaching. So far, they have been utilized in three ways: (1) to manage tensions in divided societies; (2) to instil humanitarian values into students; and (3) to enhance the teaching of second-order historical concepts. This study is based on the findings of other relevant research, and underpins the use of controversial accounts in order to foster procedural concepts of history. It was conducted in three middle schools of the Xanthi Prefecture, northern Greece, in 2017 and 2018. The subjects were 94 15-year-old students, and the design was experimental. After being taught two versions of the Greek Civil War, a traditional and an experimental one, students expressed their opinions about three pairs of different historical accounts of a controversial issue: the removal of children during the war. A pilot study consisted of role-playing activities involving historical competences. After qualitative and quantitative analysis, a variety of ideas emerged about the differences in the accounts, the reasons for their differentiation, and the epistemological status of history. The findings show that: (1) students’ comprehension depended on the level of difficulty of the accounts; and (2) the experimental groups modified their ideas about the different accounts and history to some degree.
