The Greek Resistance (Greek: Εθνική Αντίσταση, translit. Ethnikí Andístasi, "National Resistance") is the blanket term for a number of armed and unarmed groups from across the political spectrum that resisted the Axis occupation of Greece in the period 1941–1944, during World War II. It is considered as one of the strongest resistance movements (especially EDES/EOEA) in Nazi-occupied Europe.
