Fascist Greece

Democratic Republic of Greece or known simply by Fascist Greece to the West is a dictatorship founded in 2021 due to the Greek debt crisis. Headed by Petros Christopoulos, and later Alexi Tsintsabis, the Fascist government is led by the Golden Dawn Party, which exercises absolute control on its people.

After the dissolution of the EU during the mid 2020s, Fascist Greece quickly rose to power. Wildly criticized for its neo-Nazi politics, the Fascist government is eventually defeated by the Western front in 2052, and a democratic-monarchy is established.

It borders Illyrian Kingdom/Albania,  Bulgarian Kingdom, and Turkey. It's set to appear in RichardLamborghini's Future of Europe series

History
As the EU's power began to wane, and corruption was at a all time high, Greece, which was hit hard by the debt crisis was in deep trouble, as the lack of jobs, food, and money became extremely urgent. Eventually one political party promised the restoration of Greece. They were the Golden Dawn.

The neo-Nazi group fought against the weak government and in 2022, with success they won. Petros Christopoulos became the Supreme President, but was quickly overthrown by Alexi Tsintsabis in 2025. Tsintsabis led the nation with an iron fist, but this revolution inspired many nations to withdraw from the EU. The EU toppled in mid-late 2020s, and various governments in Europe changed.

The Golden Dawn Party promised a purely ethnic Greek. They also vowed to reclaim Cyprus from Turkey. Greece still was recovering from the debt crisis.

In 2025, Petros was abdicated from his position was was succeeded by Alexi Tsintsabis. Alexi was a lot more violent and cruel, causing numerous massacres on minorities in Thrace and Epirus. Tsintsabis always vowed to reclaim northern Epirus and western Turkey, and in the 2040s tensions rose.

When Illyria (or Albania) gained territory, Fascist Greece went on the Serbians side citing that Greece and Serbia unfairly lost land and both fascist government vowed to reclaim their lost lands. They soon form an "Orthodox Front" an alliance with Greece, Serbia, and Romania.

Thrif Balkan War
In 2042, Serbia declared war on Albania. Bulgaria, Hungary, Bosnia, and Croatia allied with Albania and all declared war on Serbia. Fascist Greece saw this as an opportunity to gain North Epirus again, and oftencalled the Albanian military "weak and pathetic", however they were proven wrong.

In October 2042, the Greeks push in Seranda and Gijokastor seizing both cities and continue to advance north. Its allies Serbia and Romania are invading Bulgaria and Hungary respectively. The Greek forces however, lost the Battle of Himara in November 2042.

Albanian forces push back the Greek forces, however, with Greece's larger military, and a war on two fronts, the Albanians are pushed back to central Albania, defending Tirana. Although the Greeks were successful in seizing Northern Epirus, much of Europe began condemning the Orthodox Alliance actions. Austria, Hungary's ally, joined the war to assist Hungary. Italy and Turkey declared war on Greece, Serbia and Romania. Not long after, Romania officially signed an armistice to avoid further casualties. Greece and Serbia also signed an armistice, however, this wouldn't be the end for Golden Dawn Greece and their imperial ambitions.

Fourth Balkan War
After seven years, Alexi Tsintsabis doesnt give up. In 2049, Serbia and Greece declare war once more in the Balkans. Tsintsabis treated Albania as the same, often citing that the countey will be an easy victory, however the Battle od Vlora war a major defeat for the Greeks. Soon after, Turkey declared war on Fascist Greece. Bulgarian and Turkish forces invade Thrace and seize it. Albanian forces defeat the Greeks in a series of North Epirus battles in 2050. The Serbian Republic, Greece's ally begins to lose ground to Hungary, Bulgarian, Albanian, and Croatian forces. Soon after, Turkey invades Cyprus seizing complete control of the island. The Fascist Greeks are kicked out, and the Turks invades many Greek islands. Near the end of 2051, Greek Macedonia is taken by Turkish and Bulgarian forces. Greece's only ally Serbia surrenders after getting crushed in a four front war.

Fascist Greece soon asks Romania for help, however, Romania refuses to help Greece, already going through its own internal problems. Epirus is soon seized by the Albanian forces and a invasion down to Southern Greece is ensued. In 2052, the city of Athens is reached, and the final battle of Athens occurs. The Greek Fascists surrender, and the Fascist government of Greece is destroyed, and the Golden Dawn party dissolved, replaced with a Kingdom,  known simply as the Kingdom of Greece. Albania gains Chameria, and Bulgaria gains Thrace. Cyprus remains under Turkish control. The new Greek government was to revamp the society, and crate a Greece  that the ancient Hellenics believed in- philosophy.

Aftermath
Greece becomes a Kingdom, and ancient Greek pagan traditions are revived. Many Greeks convert to the Hellenic pagan religion, but the Greek Orthodox still maintain some power. Greece is now a peaceful nation, aimed for philosophy and arts.
