In May 1973 while Greece was under military dictatorship several monarchists Navy and Air force officers planned a counter-coup in order to get rid of the military Junta and restore the King and Democracy in Greece... Navy and Air force were not as corrupted as the Army and contained several monarchists and pro-democratic officers
The plan was then that when Dictator Papadopoulos and his government where aboard the Flag ship (There were naval drills that time and the Junta was invited to inspect) they would be captured... Then part Greek fleet would have sailed to island of Syros free the political prisoners and set up a rival government there while 2 other parts of the fleet would blockade Peiraus and Thessaloniki... After the coup was succesful the King would be invited back... However the plot was betrayed and failed...
WI the plan worked and military Junta collapsed then??? How is that altering History?Any thoughts?
