On October 28th, 1940, Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas received an ultimatum by the Italian Fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini. The ultimatum demanded Greece allow Axis forces to enter Greek territory and occupy certain unspecified "strategic locations" or otherwise face war. Prime Minister Metaxas responded with NO! OHI! The battle was won by the Greek forces and we celebrate the holiday every year on October 28th.
There will also be archival material of the era to view on loan, courtesy of John Gerasoulis.
