THE RESTISTANCE OF GREECE TO THE AXIS FORCES IS THE LONGEST IN EUROPE

 

 

 

Greece’s resistance to the axis forces during the Second World War was the longest in continental Europe.

 

According to historical records, Greece resisted for 219 days against Italy and Germany from the autumn of 1940 to spring 1941. 

 

By comparison, Norway resisted for 61 days, whereas France which was a superpower of the time managed to resist the Nazi powers for only 43 days.

 

During those terrible days Greece recorded 13.325 dead, 62.662 wounded and 1.290 missing in action.

 

There couldn’t be anything more tragic than war when thousands of young people die fighting bravely for their countries which unfortunately politicians decide.  

Humans have a greed to have more than they possess, which creates friction that leads to war;  so it is greed, grudge, politics, and religious and racial discrimination, like in world war II, that make things so evil possible.
