The Greek Resistance refers to the efforts of various groups in Greece to oppose the Axis occupation during World War II, primarily from 1941 to 1944. This resistance emerged in response to the harsh conditions imposed by the occupying forces, including the Nazi German, Italian, and Bulgarian armies. Various organizations, such as the National Liberation Front (EAM) and the Greek People's Liberation Army (ELAS), played significant roles in sabotaging enemy operations and gathering intelligence. The resistance movement was marked by both armed struggle and civil disobedience, leading to significant disruptions in the occupiers' control. It also fostered a sense of national unity among Greeks, despite political differences. The efforts of the Greek Resistance contributed to the eventual withdrawal of Axis forces and laid the groundwork for post-war political developments in Greece.
