White Terror (Greece)

In Greece, the White Terror (Greek: Λευκή Τρομοκρατία) was the period of persecution of members of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and other former members of the leftist World War II-era resistance organization National Liberation Front (EAM) in 1945–1946, prior to the outbreak of the Greek Civil War. The term is used in Greece in an analogy to similar cases elsewhere.
