'''Okhi''' is the [[Greek]] word for "no." Okhi Day celebrates the Greek resistance of World War II.
On October 28, 1940, during [[World War II]], [[Italy|Italian]] dictator [[Mussolini]] demanded [[Greece]] surrender. In his famous reply, Greek Prime Minister [[Ioannis Metaxas]] simply said "Okhi." Italy invaded anyway, starting the [[Greco-Italian War]]. The Italian forces would be repelled, but the other [[Axis]] powers joined the fight, leading to [[Nazi]] occupation of Greece.
