🎥 Ohi Day — The Moment Greece Said NO 🇬🇷
It was just after 3:00 am on October 28, 1940, when the Italian ambassador to Greece, Emanuele Grazzi, arrived unexpectedly at the home of Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas.
He delivered an ultimatum on behalf of Mussolini’s government:
“Allow Axis forces to enter Greece and occupy strategic locations — or face war.”
Metaxas looked at him and gave a short, historic reply —
“Alors, c’est la guerre!” (“Then it is war!”)
In that moment, Greece refused to surrender. The simple word that echoed across the nation was “OXI” — NO!
And with that, Greece entered World War II with courage, unity, and an unbreakable spirit. 💙🇬🇷
