Military Junta of 1967–1974

The Military Junta of 1967–1974 in Greece was a period when the country was governed by a group of military officials after a coup d'état in 1967. They suspended democratic rule, dissolved parliament, and established a regime characterized by censorship, repression of opposition, and limited political freedoms. This authoritarian government lasted until 1974, when political pressure and unrest led to its fall. The junta’s rule is remembered as a time of political repression and human rights abuses, significantly impacting Greece’s democracy and society.
