Role of Allies in Political Reorganization of Greece (1945-1946)

Greece gained noticeable strategic significance during the Second World War (WWII) due to its distinctive geographical position, the matter that made allies countries pay more attention to it after the end of the war. This is because its geographical position makes it an important gate for accessing Europe. In addition, it is regarded as the connection point for the three old continents namely: Europe, Asia, and Africa in the Mediterranean Sea.
WWII is regarded as one of the most significant and influential periods in the history of Greece. This is because it changed the shape, the geography and inclinations of Greece during this period as the allies states greatly influenced Greece. This is noticeable as the allies were able to organize Greece after the end of WWII despite the chaos after the war.
This research is divided into three stages, the first one of which is called “Varkessa Treaty” which is a treaty held by all the resisting groups in Greece. It aimed at putting an end to both the war running in Greece and the Civil War there. As for the second stage, it is called “Allies and Surveillance of Elections”. The allies, during this stage, contacted with Greece and they put a plan to fulfill surveillance and organization of Greek elections. Concerning the third stage, it is called “Elections” and it is concerned wit how the elections were performed and held, what are the most noticeable mistakes of these elections and what are its the final results.
The research reached a set of important findings including the following: (1) in spite of  Varkessa treaty, the resistance groups did not give security only for some of them, (2) that the Soviet Union did not welcome the Allies surveillance on the elections and regarded that as an unwelcomed intervention in the Greek internal affairs. Moreover, this research found out that the Allies states, particularly Britain, practiced its pressure on all parties to put an end to the civil war and conflicts between the resistance groups in Greece. This is in addition to Britain's role in sending some of the allies forces for securing and surveillance of Greek elections during the concerned period.
