Events

  • 1940: The Greek army "liberates" the town of Moschopolis (known in Albanian as Voskopoja and in Aromanian as Moscopole) of northern Epirus (Albania) during the counter-offensive operations against the Italians in WWII
  • 1953: Spiros Markezinis, unofficially the Finance MInister of the Alexandros Papagos government, announces that he will proceed with "cutting off three zeroes from the currency bills." The value of the drachma against the dollar becomes 1 to 30 and not 1 to 30,000 as it had been.
