The Third Republic of Greece was established in 1924 after the abolition of the monarchy. It marked a significant shift in the country's political landscape, emphasizing democratic governance and civil rights. The republic faced numerous challenges, including political instability and economic difficulties, which were exacerbated by the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish War. During its existence, the Third Republic saw various political factions and governments, leading to frequent changes in leadership. It ultimately ended in 1936 when Ioannis Metaxas established a dictatorship, transitioning Greece back to authoritarian rule. The republic's legacy remains a crucial part of Greece's modern history.
