Tensions between the communist and nationalist resistance had been brewing since before the withdrawal of Axis forces, breaking into open conflict as outside foreign powers such as Britain and Yugoslavia jockeyed for influence.

Greeks picked up where the left off then. Rule 1. Never invade the Greeks you may make them realize that other peoples exist and they may stop fighting each other and start fighting you. Better to let them stew in polis rivalry and small intercity/interisland wars.
[From Wikipedia:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Civil_War) *The Greek Civil War (Greek: Εμφύλιος Πόλεμος, romanized: Emfýlios Pólemos, lit. Civil War) took place from 1946 to 1949. The conflict, which erupted shortly after the end of World War II, consisted of a Communist-led uprising against the established government of the Kingdom of Greece. The rebels declared a peoples republic, the Provisional Democratic Government of Greece, which was governed by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and its military branch, the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE). The rebels were supported by Albania and Yugoslavia. With the support of the United Kingdom and the United States, the Greek government forces ultimately prevailed.* *The war had its roots in divisions within Greece during World War II between the left-wing Communist-dominated resistance organisation, the EAM-ELAS, and loosely-allied anti-communist resistance forces. It later escalated into a major civil war between the Greek state and the Communists. The DSE was defeated by the Hellenic Army. The war resulted from a highly polarized struggle between left and right ideologies that started when each side targeted the power vacuum resulting from the end of Axis occupation (1941–1944) during World War II. The struggle was the first proxy conflict of the Cold War and represents the first example of postwar involvement on the part of the Allies in the internal affairs of a foreign country, an implementation of the containment policy suggested by US diplomat George F. Kennan in his Long Telegram of February 1946. The Greek royal government in the end was funded by the United States (through the Truman Doctrine of 1947 and the Marshall Plan of 1948) and joined NATO (1952), while the insurgents were demoralized by the bitter split between the Soviet Unions Joseph Stalin, who wanted to end the war, and Yugoslavias Josip Broz Tito, who wanted it to continue.*
