The Metaxas Regime refers to the authoritarian government established in Greece by General Ioannis Metaxas in 1936. It was characterized by a nationalist and fascist ideology, promoting a strong central government and suppressing political opposition. Metaxas aimed to modernize Greece while maintaining strict control over society, leading to censorship and the establishment of a police state. During the regime, Metaxas implemented various economic and social reforms, including infrastructure projects and labor regulations. However, his government faced criticism for its oppressive tactics and lack of democratic freedoms. The regime lasted until the German invasion of Greece in 1941, which ultimately led to its collapse.
