The occupation lasted until the German withdrawal from the mainland in October 1944. The occupation brought about terrible hardships for the Greek civilian population. Over 300,000 civilians died in Athens alone from starvation, tens of thousands more through reprisals; minorities, particularly Jews, were deported to concentration camps; and, in the Bulgarian and German occupied areas, ethnic cleansing attempted to eradicate generations of Greek residents. The country's economy was ruined and the food situation desperate. When liberation came in October 1944, Greece was in a state of crisis, which soon led to the outbreak of civil war. The Greek Civil War was fought from 1946 to 1949 between the pro-Western Greek governmental army and the Communist Democratic Army of Greece. It was the result of a highly polarized struggle between leftists and rightists which started in 1943 and targeted the power vacuum that the German-Italian occupation during World War II had created. 000867143 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xEconomic aspects$$zGreece. 000867143 651_0 $$aGreece$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1944-1949. 000867143 651_0 $$aGreece$$xEconomic conditions$$y1918- 000867143 7101_ $$aUnited States.$$bNational Archives and Records Administration. 000867143 830_0 $$aArchives unbound. 000867143 852__ $$bebk 000867143 85640 $$3Gale Archives Unbound$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://go.galegroup.com/gdsc/i.do?action=interpret&v=2.1&it=aboutCollections&p=GDSC&sw=w&id=3TQF&u=usi$$zOnline Access 000867143 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:867143$$pGLOBAL_SET 000867143 980__ $$aEBOOK 000867143 980__ $$aBIB 000867143 982__ $$aEbook 000867143 983__ $$aOnline 000867143 994__ $$aC0$$bMIGCL
