Examples

“The reckoning came on 15 November 1922 with the execution of the Six at Goudi in the Athens suburbs.”

“The Goudi coup was the first in a series of military interventions in Greek politics that were to follow in the 1920s, but its importance lies mainly in the fact that it prepared the ground for the rise to political dominance of Eleftherios Venizelos, a prominent Cretan politician, whom the coup leaders invited to Athens.”

“Yet so unaccustomed were they in pressing their demands on the state that the 250 conspirator officers who gathered in the barracks of the Goudi camp on the night of August 14, 1909, presented their grievances in the most timid and polite language.”
