During the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, it gradually added neighboring islands and territories, most with Greek-speaking populations. In World War II, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/greece-google-maps\/\">Greece<\/a> was first invaded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/italy-google-maps\/\">Italy<\/a> (1940) and subsequently occupied by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/germany-google-maps\/\">Germany<\/a> (1941-44); fighting endured in a protracted civil war between supporters of the king and other anti-communist and communist rebels. Following the latter&#8217;s defeat in 1949, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/greece-google-maps\/\">Greece<\/a> joined NATO in 1952. In 1967, a group of military officers seized power, establishing a military dictatorship that suspended many political liberties and forced the king to flee the country. In 1974 following the collapse of the dictatorship, democratic elections and a referendum created a parliamentary republic and abolished the monarchy. In 1981, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/greece-google-maps\/\">Greece<\/a> joined the EC (now the EU); it became the 12th member of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in 2001. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/greece-google-maps\/\">Greece<\/a> has suffered a severe economic crisis since late 2009, due to nearly a decade of chronic overspending and structural rigidities.
