After World War II, Greece and Turkey faced significant political and social upheaval. Greece experienced a civil war from 1946 to 1949, fueled by ideological conflicts between communist and anti-communist forces, which ultimately led to a U.S.-backed government victory. Meanwhile, Turkey navigated its own challenges, including managing territorial disputes and a rising communist threat, while pursuing modernization and alignment with Western powers, culminating in its 1952 NATO membership. Both countries were significantly influenced by the emerging Cold War dynamics, shaping their political landscapes.
