Greece -
was ruled by the Ottoman Turks from the 15th century until the 19th century. A national awakening led to independence as a kingdom in 1830 with territorial gains after the Balkan and first World Wars. A republic was established, 1924-35, and the Germans occupied the country, 1941-44.

Postage stamps have been issued since 1861.
