The Athens Polytechnic uprising is a critical moment in Greeces history

[nadellii]

This uprising was led by students who opposed the military occupation of Greece in the 1970s. The students took over the Athens Polytechnic University building in protest of the occupation, and were faced with a very strong and violent response from the Greek military. Today, protesters from across the country will rebel against the government in memory of the uprising and to make their voices heard about present day issues. For anyone who is recommended in Greek history, I recommend that you read more about this uprising and its impact on Greece's politics.

This was such an interesting situation, I recommend people learn about it, s well. It's one of the most fascinating pieces of modern Greek history, especially since it had such an impact on today.
