Ohi Day
'Ohi Day' (pronounced ''Ohi Day'', (ギリシア語:Επέτειος του «'Οχι») (:epˈetios tu ˈoçi) ''Epeteios tou "'Ohi"'', Anniversary of the "No") is celebrated throughout Greece, Cyprus and the Greek communities around the world on October 28 each year. ''Ohi Day'' commemorates the rejection by Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas of the ultimatum made by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini on October 28, 1940, the Hellenic counterattack against the invading Italian forces at the mountains of Pindus during the Greco-Italian War, and the Greek Resistance during the Axis occupation.
==Ultimatum==
This ultimatum, which was presented to Metaxas by the Italian ambassador to Greece, , at about 03:00 am on 28 October 1940, after a party in the German embassy in Athens, demanded that Greece allow Axis forces to enter Greek territory and occupy certain unspecified "strategic locations" or otherwise face war. It was allegedly answered with a single laconic word: ''όχι'' (No!). However, his actual reply was, “''Alors, c’est la guerre!''” (Then it is war!).
In response to Metaxas's refusal, Italian troops stationed in Albania, then an Italian protectorate, attacked the Greek border at 05:30 am—the beginning of Greece's participation in World War II (see Greco-Italian War and the Battle of Greece).
On the morning of October 28 the Greek population took to the streets, irrespective of political affiliation, shouting 'ochi'. From 1942, it was celebrated as Ohi Day.
