The point is that Greeks, during our history, had saved Europe two critical times which, certainly, would had been a turning point in the history of this continent. The first one was against Perseans and the second one was against "Germans". But the reason we did that wasn't because we had been obliged to save the rest of the countries. The reason we did that was because Hellas is the light which illuminates everything that is right in this muddy world. So, it was and still is our duty to fight against anyone who wants to bring the world into darkness and chaos. That's our nature. The rest of Europe prospered, because we had the courage and the "sthenos" to stand against an enemy, who had made countries like France and Austria surrender hands-down. Now, after all our struggles, people of Europe mock us. They call us lazy, naive, beggars who keep asking for money in order to save their collapsing economy. I won't get into details about how we ended up into this terrible situation. Anyone with a common sense and a little observation can understand that. But, stay assured. This light will never fade. And when the time comes and darkness starts spreading again, we will be there to say "NO" to the tyrants. Because that's our nature and always will be.

Δεν μπορούσε να μην αρνηθεί εξαιτίας του επαναστατικού αναβρασμού του λαού, δεν το έκανε λόγω της οξύνειας του και της διπλωματικότητας του. Ναι ίσως έκανε κάποια καλά, εν τούτοις μην ξεχνάμε ότι ενώ είχε μόνο 4% των εδρών στο κοινοβούλιο μετά την ψήφο εμπιστοσύνης από το ΚΚΕ σχημάτισε κυβέρνηση και με μη θεμιτά μέσα κατέλυσε το Κοινοβούλιο, 4 Αυγούστου του 1936 επέβαλε δικτατορία και εφάρμοσε δικτατορικά σχέδια.

@@konstantinag.6756 Μα και η υστεροφημία του δεν είναι η καλύτερη στη κοινή γνώμη(που συνήθως δεν εμβαθύνει ιστορικά όσο θα έπρεπε). Για τον λόγο αυτό δεν γιορτάζουμε τον Μεταξά που είπε το όχι αλλά το όχι που είπε ο Μεταξάς (και φυσικά εξέφραζε την τότε κοινή γνώμη). Παρ' όλα αυτά θεωρώ άδικο να χαρακτηρίζεται κάποιος λάθος και δη τόσο βαριά, ιδιαίτερα όταν έφερε θετικό αποτέλεσμα έστω την εσχάτη στιγμή. Σε οτι αφορά τον παραλληλισμό με τον βασιλιά Κωνσταντίνο θεωρώ πως δεν ευστάθει καθώς η ναυτική υπεροχή των συμμάχων (Βρετανών) στη μεσόγειο το 1940, δεν επαρκούσε ώστε να αναμετρηθεί με την Luftwaffe(εαν αυτή έχει ως ορμητήριο την Ελλάδα). Άρα ο Μεταξάς δεν είχε τίποτα να φοβάται, τουναντίον μάλιστα καθώς θεωρητικά θα εξασφαλίζε στη χώρα σίγουρη προστασία μέχρι τη λήξη του πολέμου. Αλλά όπως φαίνεται και με τις ενέργειες που έλαβε, διέβλεπε βαθύτερα και γιαυτό είναι ένας άξιος στρατιωτικός, είχε στοιχεία καλού ηγέτη γιατί δεν έπαιξε πολιτικό παιχνίδι διχασμού του λαού στη κρίσιμη στιγμή αλλά δυστυχώς υπήρξε ένας δικτάτωρας στη περίοδο διακυβέρνησης του και αυτό αναμφίβολα επισκιάζει τα περισσότερα θετικά.

Greece's most important contribution to WW2 is that they were the 1st country to win the Axis (Fascist Italy) as it's referred on the video pretty accuratelly. The battle of Crete was also very important as the Cretans fought really hard. This had a result as Nazis delayed in Crete and tried to invase Russia during the heavy winter instead of the middle of the summer as they wanted to. Russian weather conditions, together with the exhaustion of the Battle of Crete, made the task of the Red Army easier.

Even though Greek army resisted and finally won facist Italy at October 1940 after the OXI day, the Nazis achieved to invase Greece through the Greek-Bulgarian borders, as long as Bulgaria was friendly to nazis at that time. Despite the German occupation, Greeks kept resisting. The stronger resistance became from the Greek communists who fought all together under the Greek People's Liberation Army. Of course, many citizens who were not communists joined the army, as the wanted to help Greece fighting back. Needless to say, that even a small number of Italians soldiers, after losing the Greek-Italian war, joined the Greek People's Liberation Army to help with their experience and knowledge. The resisted till the end of war and after that, all these "great" leaders of the past, Churchill etc helped to destroy this army because they had claim too much gun power.

actually the no our primister said was in french but it doesn t matter

[@magnagrecia1249]

The video is good but we MUST say that the ΟΧΙ was said by a dictator and NOT by a prime minister! He didn't say no for democracy but for the freedom of the Hellenic nation!

[@petroskaloudis1016]

We have to say that the OXI said by Greeks... The dictator couldn't do anything else except to communicate this oxi to all over the WORLD. ALSO each time we had didactorism we was in better way than with nowadays democracy, why? Because there are no democracy now in the planet. The art of politics is to make you believe that you have rights and you are free.... But free in democracy was only ancient Athenians. Macedons had Kingdom with kings. Spartans the same only Athenians had democracy at its best. Now we are all slaves under a worldwide king... The Money King

Metaxas was germanophil,but the king was Anglophile,and it was well known that greek people wouldn't take it sitting down, nobody liked war,but NOBODY WAS TO SORENDER TO GERMANY.

[@lupinthe4th400]

And who told you that dictatorship is by meaning bad. It's just another kind of government, one very usual at that time in Europe and all over the world. Maybe it was the most appropriate system of government at that time. Don't be ungrateful. Understand the historical era you are talking about. It's like saying, Metaxa was a dictatorship so apriori it was bad for Greece...
