The Greek Civil War


The Cold War started in 1946 in Greece. The Soviet Union helped Communists who wanted to rule over Greece.

By 1947, the Greek government was collapsing. United Statues set up Truman Doctrine which provided military and economic aid to nations threatened by intervention from other countries. Marshall Plan had been worked out to improve Europeˇ¦s economy, because Europeans with jobs and a good life would not support Communism, so this plan worked out.
