They were trying to seek refuge from the huns
Answer: Directly, The National Liberation Front, or the EAM/ELAS (A Communist Insurgency in Greece).
Indirectly, Communists in general.
Explanation:
The world in 1947 was a very different one from the world in 1945 for whereas in the former the West and ghe Soviet Union had been triumphant Allies who vanquished the Nazis in the Second World War, in the latter they were rivals, competing to impose their own view of Political theory on the world.
The British had been responsible for liberating Greece in the Second World War which is why it had not fallen into the hands of the Soviets and Turkey had maintained neutrality, only joining the War in the last months and never actually fighting so they didn't fall into the hands of the Soviets either.
Britain supplied Aid to both countries to keep them from falling into Soviet Communism but in 1947 could do no more because the British Economy had barely survived the war.
They informed the USA and after some negotiations with Congress, President Truman uttered the very popular, Truman Doctrine.
In his speech he said, "It must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures."
The armed minority he was directly referring to were the National Liberation Front, or the EAM/ELAS which was waging an insurgency in Greece at the time but in general, he wanted the United States to take a stand against all communists groups that would attempt to take over nations by force and against the Soviet Union that would attempt to place pressure on countries to join their side.
Until the early 20th century, voting in almost all countries was an exclusive right of men - especially rich men. Amid a scenario of great transformation, activists who mobilized for women's right to political participation became known as suffragists.
Between 1890 and 1994, women from most countries acquired the right to vote and to stand for public office. Still, time and space are two variables that differ greatly when it comes to this achievement: what in 1906 was a great victory for the Finns happened in South Africa only in 1993 and Saudi Arabia in 2011.
The 19th and early 20th century feminist movements sought to transform the condition of women in society through the struggle for participation in the electoral scene. In fact, this is one of the first agendas of women's movements capable of spreading throughout the industrialized or industrializing world.
In Europe, the struggle of the suffragists mingled with the struggle of the labor movement against the exploitation of workers, working in the leftist, socialist and communist parties. New Zealand in 1893 and Finland in 1906 were the first countries to recognize women's right to vote.
In Britain, the women's movement won the right to vote after World War I. The example of British women spread across Europe. In some countries, such as Sweden and Norway, the number of voters has exceeded that of voters.
