Sleep With History

From a Europe recovering from World War II to the fledgling Greece emerging from a military dictatorship, this episode unravels how Greece’s desire for democracy and economic stability led it to find solace with the European Economic Community (EEC), building the foundation for the current European Union. 

We highlight complex narratives, from the tension of Turkey's potential EU membership to internal upheavals in Greece. We discuss key figures, like Greek Prime Minister Konstantinos Karamanlis and European Commission President Roy Harris Jenkins, who played instrumental roles in this diplomatic dance. We also venture into the criticism, debates, and fears which swirled around Greece's union with the EU, worrying voices about potential loss of economic benefit, national sovereignty, and cultural identity. 

An entrancing look at the intricate, multifaceted journey of a nation, join us as we uncover Greece's footprint on the spacious landscape of the European Union — an unforgettable exploration of an event whose ripples still influence present - day narratives.
