A coup d'etat in Athens in November…

March 1974 CE

A coup d'etat in Athens in November 1973 had made Brigadier General Dimitrios Ioannidis leader of the junta.

Rigidly anticommunist, Ioannidis had served on Cyprus in the 1960s with the National Guard.

His experiences had convinced him that Makarios should be removed from office because of domestic leftist support and his visits to communist capitals.
