Description

In 1974, the seven-year junta in Greece collapsed under the weight of the Cypriot tragedy caused by the Turkish invasion of the island following the coup against Makarios. The months that followed (July 1974-June 1975) constitute the period of the Metapolitefsi, namely the restoration of democracy, which occurred in such a short time that it was internationally called the "Greek miracle." During this time, the foundations were laid for the most mature period of the Greek parliamentary regime and the most prosperous period of the new Greek state. In this book, through 50 questions and answers, the most important issues related to this period are examined: How did we reach the Turkish invasion of Cyprus? How did the dictatorship collapse? What capabilities did Greece have to face the Turkish invasion? What were the dangers of the first days? What were the goals of Karamanlis and his team? How was political control restored in the army and state mechanisms? How was the "crisis of institutions" of the period 1915-1974 addressed? What happened with the institution of the monarchy? What problems arose with Turkey during the period 1974-75? How was the restoration of democracy achieved at such a rapid pace in such a short time? What were the goals of the 1975 Constitution? What happened with the punishment of the junta members? What does the Metapolitefsi of 1974-75 signify for modern Greek history?
