Greece: A Chance for Democracy.

Friends of the military junta claim that there was no democracy in Greece before the coup of April 21, 1967, its enemies say that the revolution destroyed democracy. Paradoxically both are right. The Greece, which was invented in 1833, was poor and primitive; it was still poor and comparatively primitive a hundred years later. Economically there had been little industrialization and even by 1967 some 50 percent of the population was still employed on the land. Politically, a constitution of a sort was established in 1844 and another in 1864, when a Parliament was also created.
