(9 Jun 1973) RR7323A GREECE BECOMES A REPUBLIC
On June 1st 1973, Greece, which had lived for six
years under the regime of the Colonels, was proclaimed
a republic, and the exiled King Constantine
was deposed. The move came after mounting student
unrest and an alleged Navy plot to take over the state,
which was foiled at the last minute. The King
denounced the move, but Greece remained calm,
and now new elections have been promised before
the end of 1974.
