The following thesis is an analysis of the Greek civil war, its causes, course and international involvement in the conflict, especially Yugoslav aid to the Democratic Army of Greece. The civil war, which took place between the revolutionary-communist and bourgeois-monarchist camps, took place in the period 1946-1949. The beginnings of the conflict can already be found in the historical context of the Second World War, where both camps, which are later involved in an armed conflict, are fighting for dominance in the Greek national liberation movement. The end of the occupation brings an aggravation in the politically unstable Greek environment, which is made even more precarious by international interference. The bourgeois-royalist camp has the support of the Western superpowers, Great Britain and the United States of America, who strive for the Greek state to remain in their zone of influence after the end of World War II. The communist camp is supported by the Soviet satellite countries Bulgaria, Albania and Yugoslavia, which plays one of the key roles in the conflict. The aggravated Greek internal political situation thus turned into one of the first armed conflicts of the Cold War
