The '''Greco-Italian War''' was one of the many conflicts in [[Europe]] that were part of [[World War II]]. On October 28, 1940, [[Italy|Italian]] dictator [[Mussolini]] demanded [[Greece]] surrender. Prime Minister [[Ioannis Metaxas]] refused, saying simply "okhi" ([[Greek]] for "no"). Italian troops invaded, starting the war. With numerically inferior forces, Greek General [[Alexander Papagos]] was able to repel the invaders until Italy's [[Axis]] allies joined the fray in April of 1941 in the [[Battle of Greece]].
