National Liberation Front (Greece)

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Liberation Front was a Communist part of the Greek resistance movement during World War II that fought against the Axis powers. (Mostly Germany, Italy, and the Hellenic State). When Greece fell to the axis powers, resistance movements (like the national liberation front) started to fight the occupying powers. The ideology of the resistance was mainly Left-wing ideologies like Communism. The last axis forces left Greece in 1944. But the communist resistance soon fought against the freed kingdom of Greece in the Greek civil war of 1946 to 1949.
