Historical background
editThe resolution, passed in 1947, occurred during the midst of the Greek Civil War, in which the communist Yugoslav, Bulgarian, and Albanian governments supported elements of the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE). The Bulgarian government had also initially occupied some of Greek Macedonia. Towards the end, there was a split in the resistance between the Soviet leader Stalin's wish to end the war and Yugoslav leader Tito's wish to continue.[2]
