After the war, the territory of Greece expanded to include a part of Italy such as the Dodecanese archipelago.
However, Greece's problems are not over during the Greek civil war period. From 1950 to 1973, the country had dealt with the economic impact of the civil war against World War II and Greece. The countries devastated by war are striving for prosperity, which makes people profitable. Nevertheless, Greece joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1952 and elected to unite with the world democrats.

In fact, they succeeded in rapid development, and their economy imitated standards set by the United States and other fast-growing European countries. Industries such as construction, sightseeing, textile manufacturing and so on became prominent
However, this growth period was also concealed by the Greek military regime which began in 1967. During this period the Greek government was caught by officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos. The next one is a dictatorship system that lasted until 1973. During this period Greek people saw their civil liberties disappear as the military basically occupied the country. However despite the political instability, it is noteworthy that the economy began to prosper during this period.
When the dictatorship regime collapses, the first Republic that lasted in that country is allowed to take root. This is the government which is still in power today.

Greece officially entered into a war on October 28, 1940. Shortly thereafter, Ivanis Metaxas, the country's leader, died suddenly. What followed after these two big events was war for several years, and Greece was invaded, occupied and later civilized. The Greek forces proved that for the Italian army it was finally prohibited, and it let the German intervene. Initially Greek invasion was not necessarily German battle plan. Some people think that the fight against Greece is one of the reasons the German army invaded Russia in the winter, but the German army is not well equipped.
