History
Using the influence of the British occupation forces in Greece in 1946, the conservative government of Temistoklis Sofoulis came to power. The Communists are not reconciled with defeat and, with the support of Albania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, seeking to gain Greek territories, begin a guerrilla war in northern Greece. In the summer of 1947, the situation became so serious that the Greek government sent a letter to the UN Security Council on July 31, in which, however, it met with active opposition from the Soviet Union.
On August 12, 1947, the subcommittee created in accordance with the resolution reported that he could not come up with any proposals and in September the matter was passed to the UN General Assembly.
