===[[File:GeorgiosGrivas.png]] Military career of Georgios Grivas===
Georgios Grivas was born in Cyprus in 1897 or 1898 from an Anglophilic Greek rich family. He was trained in a Military Academy in Athens and fought in the Greco-Turkish War of 1922. Then, when WWII broke out he fought against the Italians in Albania until 1941. After the occupation of Greece by the Germans he established 'Organization X' in Athens. Its main goal was to get rid of the [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Communist]] resistance no matter the cost. It is also said that Grivas was assisted by the collaborationist Greek puppet state and the British at the end of the war. After the war, Georgios Grivas took part in the 'White Terrorism' in Greece during the Civil War. At that time he was also politically involved with the [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|People's Party]] without any big success. However in 1955 he returned to Cyprus where he was the military leader of EOKA, a [[File:Classnat.png]] [[Nationalism|nationalist]] Greek Organization who tried to free Cyprus from [[File:BritishEmpire.png]] British Imperialism [[File:Cball-UK.png]]. In 1967 when the Greek military junta had taken over in Greece he was a big supporter of Papadopoulos' ideas. But in 1974 he returned to Cyprus where he established EOKA 2, in order to fight the Turkish invasion of the island. He died in Cyprus in January of 1974 at the age of 76.
