During the Axis occupation of Greece, the Greek contingent of the allied war effort became divided between the government-in-exile of King George II’s and the predominantly Communist partisans of the Greek People’s Liberation Army (ELAS) which oversaw the German withdrawal in 1944. Fighting resumed in March 1946 when a group of 30 ex-ELAS members attacked a police station in the village of Litochoro, killing the policemen, the night before national elections. Operating in Greece’s mountains, ELAS reorganized into the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) and fought a guerilla war against the Kingdom before eventually collapsing in 1949 due to lack of foreign support.

Under the Paris Peace Treaties, Hungary’s borders reverted to those which had existed before the 1938 Munich Agreement. So too did Czechoslovakia, except for Ruthenia, which was ceded to the Soviet Union. Romania agreed to return to its prewar boundaries, with the exceptions of southern Dobruja, which was ceded to Bulgaria, and Bessarabia and Bukovina, which were restored to the Soviet Union.

In its 1947 peace treaty with the Allies, Italy agreed to cede Istria and Dalmatia to Yugoslavia, the Dodecanese to Greece, and to grant independence to all of its colonies. It was agreed that the city of Trieste and its environs—also claimed by Yugoslavia—would become an international “free city”, effective as of 15 September. Trieste would remain a free city for several years, until later partition between Italy and Yugoslavia in 1954.
