The streets and balconies brim with spectators, their hands fervently waving Greek flags. Traffic Regulation Amid Celebration

Schools and most businesses are closed, yet cafes and restaurants are teeming with life, their doors wide open to locals and visitors alike seeking to partake in the festivities. The more interesting and demanding question, however, is: If a nation takes its dignity seriously (as it should), how are the nation's institutions organized so that the country is able to prosper and distinguish itself in, say, science, the arts, spots, etc.? And if the country has fallen in hard times, as Greece has in the last five years, how does the country protect its dignity effectively?The world’s newspapers carried stories of the Greek successes against the Italians in late 1940. For a young Greek Australian living in Australia the affect was dramatic – “All of a sudden, from being bloody dagos we became heroes.” He and his classmates marched around the schoolyard with their chests thrown out. Greek communities formed support groups to help their motherland. Over 2000 men and women of Greek heritage joined the Australian armed forces. They served in different theatres of the war. Some perished up on the Burma -Thai death railway. It was a long way from Greece and the Mediterranean. Similarly, small groups of American Greek commandoes were sent into enemy occupied Greece in early 1944. Just like in Australia, support groups with funding and clothing drives were formed in the USA and, probably amongst many other Greek groups around the world.

Over 40,000 civilians died in Athens alone from starvation, tens of thousands more died because of reprisals by Nazis and collaborators.The Greek involvement in the second world war was a world-wide one. Many resisted the enemy in their own way. Some may point to the divisions and conflicts within the Greek society before, during and after this time. Metaxas himself had been appointed by the Greek King, He had not been elected. The republican-monarchist schism continued in various forms during the war. There was fighting between partisan groups, mass protest and mutiny in the free Greek armed forces, collaborators and eventual civil war. The return of the Greek government to the homeland in October 1944 began a short-lived time of joy. Fighting broke out in Athens between Greek government forces and the left-wing partisans. During this time i.e. the Dekemvriana accusations of a communist coup versus wanted foreign British intervention were voiced. They still are today. The Greek monarchy remained in power for decades. All these are valid points for argument. But in essence, many Greeks resisted the invader through sacrifice, courage and determination. They were ordinary people thrown into extraordinary and horrible times. pride parade ή pride) είναι γνωστή μία σειρά εκδηλώσεων που μπορεί να περιλαμβάνουν από απλές συγκεντρώσεις μέχρι παρελάσεις, άρματα και πάρτυ.

According to several theories, the blue and white colors of the Greek flag are said to symbolize the blue of the sea and the white of the waves, representing the country’s maritime history and culture.
