In 1974, Greece saw the end of its [[File:GreekJunta-icon.png]] [[Greek Junta|military junta]] on July 24, leading to the return of [[File:Conservatism-icon.png]] [[Conservatism|Konstantinos Karamanlis]] from exile to become Prime Minister, marking the start of the Third Hellenic Republic.

In 1996, [[File:DemSoc-icon.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|Andreas Papandreou]] resigned as Prime Minister due to ill health on January 17, and [[File:DemSoc-icon.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|Costas Simitis]] succeeded him.

The financial landscape of Greece changed dramatically in 2009 when [[File:SocDem-icon.png]] [[Social Democracy|George Papandreou]] of [[File:PASOK-icon.png]] [[Panhellenic Socialist Movement|PASOK]] became Prime Minister on October 4, and Greece revealed his budget deficit in December, triggering the Greek government-debt crisis. This led to Greece signing the first bailout agreement with the [[File:EU-icon.png]] [[European Union|EU]] and the [[File:IMF-icon.png]] [[International Monetary Fund]] (IMF) on May 2, 2010, which involved stringent austerity measures. Political instability in Greece in 2012 resulted in two rounds of national elections, one in May and another in June. The elections in May 2012 did not produce a decisive outcome, leading to a second round in June. After the June elections, [[File:NatCon-icon.png]] [[National Conservatism|Antonis Samaras]] of the [[File:GreekND-icon.png]] [[Greek New Democracy|New Democracy]] became prime minister by forming a coalition government. Greece had secured a second bailout agreement in February 2012, but further significant adjustments and decisions regarding this bailout were made in November 2012.

The year 2015 was significant as the [[File:Syriza-icon.png]] [[Syriza|SYRIZA]] party won the national elections on January 25, and [[File:Lpop-icon.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|Alexis Tsipras]] became prime minister. A crucial bailout referendum on July 5 resulted in a 'No' vote to the [[File:EU-icon.png]] [[European Union|EU]] conditions, but Greece agreed to a third bailout package on July 13 after intense negotiations. Greece exited its third and final bailout program on August 20, 2018, marking a milestone in its economic recovery.

In 2017, Greece added a bunch of {{i|Socialism}} [[Socialism|socialistic]] policies, like granting everyone free college, free tuition, free books, free meals. But, since everyone was getting free things, nobody worked for anything and the country went bankrupt.

The country then hosted the 🏳️ Summer Olympics in 🏳️ Athens from August 13-29, 2004, marking a significant event since Greece was the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games. During this period, 🏳️ Kostas Karamanlis, the nephew of Konstantinos Karamanlis, became Prime Minister on March 7, 2004.

The financial landscape of Greece changed dramatically in 2009 when 🏳️ George Papandreou of PASOK became Prime Minister on October 4, and Greece revealed his budget deficit in December, triggering the Greek government-debt crisis. This led to Greece signing the first bailout agreement with the 🏳️ EU and the 🏳️ International Monetary Fund (IMF) on May 2, 2010, which involved stringent austerity measures. Political instability in Greece in 2012 resulted in two rounds of national elections, one in May and another in June. The elections in May 2012 did not produce a decisive outcome, leading to a second round in June. After the June elections, 🏳️ Antonis Samaras of the New Democracy became prime minister by forming a coalition government. Greece had secured a second bailout agreement in February 2012, but further significant adjustments and decisions regarding this bailout were made in November 2012.

The year 2015 was significant as the 🏳️ SYRIZA party won the national elections on January 25, and 🏳️ Alexis Tsipras became prime minister. A crucial bailout referendum on July 5 resulted in a 'No' vote to the EU conditions, but Greece agreed to a third bailout package on July 13 after intense negotiations.

In 2017, Greece added a bunch of 🏳️ socialistic policies, like granting everyone free college, free tuition, free books, free meals. But, since everyone was getting free things, nobody worked for anything and the country went bankrupt.

Greece exited his third and final bailout program on August 20, 2018, marking a milestone in his economic recovery.

In the 2019 national elections on July 7, New Democracy, led by 🏳️ Kyriakos Mitsotakis, won, and Mitsotakis became prime minister. The COVID-19 pandemic hit Greece in March 2020, leading to lockdowns and various public health measures. In 2023, New Democracy won the national elections again in May, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis continuing as Prime Minister. Presently, Greece is focused on recovering from economic challenges, dealing with regional geopolitical tensions, and implementing reforms to ensure economic stability and growth.
