It fought against the German, the Italian and the Bulgarian occupation forces and at the eve of the liberation of Greece engaged in a war against guerilla forces of right-wing organizations, namely Ethnikos Dimokratikos Ellinikos Syndesmos (EDES) and Ethniki Kai Koinoniki Apeleftherosis (EKKA). EAM-ELAS was very active and successful, and around the end of the war its political power grew considerably to the point of establishing an outlaw government ( PEAEA ) for the large parts of mainland mountainous Greece it had rid of the occupational forces rule. The conflict with right-wing, nationalist or western-oriented republican forces escalated, leading to the outbreak of the Greek Civil War that lasted until 1949 . SEE ALSO |
