| Sumario: | In the aftermath of World War II, civil war erupted in Greece between Western-orientated government forces and Communist rebels. The Truman administration subsequently became heavily involved in the internal conflict, including the establishment of an American military presence on Greek soil and regular arms shipments.

This text explores the issues surrounding these events. |
