Greek resistance

The Greek resistance (Greek: Εθνική Αντίσταση, romanized: Ethnikí Antístasi, "National Resistance"), involved armed and unarmed groups from across the political spectrum that resisted the Axis occupation of Greece in the period 1941–1944, during World War II. The largest group was the Communist-dominated EAM-ELAS. The Greek Resistance is considered one of the strongest resistance movements in Nazi-occupied Europe,^[9] with partisans, men and women known as andartes and andartisses (Greek: αντάρτες, αντάρτισσες, romanized: antártes, antártises, meaning "male and female rebels"),^[9]^[10]^[11] controlling much of the countryside prior to the German withdrawal from Greece in late 1944.

This article is about the Greek Resistance during World War II. For information about the resistance to Ottoman occupation, see klepht. For information about the post-war activities of resistance groups, see Greek Civil War.
