[Answer] 1. What event disrupted Greece immediately after the end of World War II and lasted until 1950?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. What event disrupted Greece immediately after the end of World War II and lasted until 1950?"

...1. Return of King George II 2. Civil War 3. British and Russian mililtary governorships 4. Nothing: a new Parliament was elected In October 1944 during the waning days of the Nazi government, occupying German forces in Greece were pulled out of the country. The strong Greek opposition to the Germans immediately began to squabble and position for the post war power vacuum. The German occupation had been resisted by two main Greek forces, the communist-controlled EAM-ELAS ("National Liberation Front-National-Popular Liberation Army") and the EDES ("Greek Democratic National Army"). The two groups did not act jointly but did manage to coexist during the war. In addition a Greek government in exile lead by King George II tried to maintain some semblance of relevancy from outside the country. In early 1944, EAM-ELAS set up a provisional government in the Greek mountains disowning the King and his parliament in exile. When the German's left Greece both the communists and royalist factions were brought together by the British to form a coalition government. This government disintegrated a few weeks later when the communists refused to demilitarize. Both sides took to the streets and a bitter war raged between the groups for two years. Only the presence of British military forces managed to suppress the in-fighting. The royalists were better equipped and financed and the communists accepted defeat and disbarmament at a conference in February 1945. A general election was held in Greece in March 1946. The communists and their followers abstained from the voting, however, and a royalist majority was returned. After a popular vote in September 1946 the Greek king was restored to the throne. The return of the monarchy became the scapegoat for the resurgent communists to refuse to participate in the government and instead launch a full-scale revolt. Royalist aid had shifted from Britain to the US in the interim. The US, deep in the throes of the Cold War was immediately concerned about the effect on Western Europe and NATO should Greece "fall" to the communists. The US supplied both military and economic aid to Greece to match aid to the communist forces from The USSR and its Eastern Bloc allies. This second phase of the Civil War ended in October 1949, when the U.S.-supplied (and possibly augmented) Greek army managed to harass the rebels so that many of the remaining communist fighters fled the country into neighboring Albania. The truncated Greek Civil War cost an estimated 100,000 lives and displaced nearly a million Greeks from their homes due to the fighting.

[Ans] What is the name of the “Riveter” who represented women in factories during World War II?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the name of the “Riveter” who represented women in factories during World War II?"

Rosie the Riveter was the star of a campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for defense industries during World War II, and she became perhaps the most iconic image of working women. American women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers during the war, as widespread male enlistment left gaping holes in the industrial labor force. Between 1940 and 1945, the female percentage of the U.S. workforce increased from 27 percent to nearly 37 percent, and by 1945 nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home.

[Answer] 4. What was the name of the horse ridden by Robert E. Lee during the American Civil War, aka the War Between the States?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. What was the name of the horse ridden by Robert E. Lee during the American Civil War, aka the War Between the States? "

...1. Rienzi 2. Traveller 3. Cincinnati 4. Virginia Traveller carried General Robert E. Lee through most of the great battles of the American Civil War. Rienzi was General Sherman's mount, and Cincinnati was ridden by General Grant. As far as I know, there was no officer on either side who had a horse named Virginia. Traveller was an even-tempered horse of great stamina, which made him an ideal mount for a general who was usually found in the thick of things at the front. There's only one instance of Traveller not standing his ground in battle. It occurred at the Second Battle of Bull Run when General Lee was holding Traveller by the bridle, having dismounted to reconnoitre his position. Something spooked Traveller and the horse pulled Lee down onto a tree stump. Both of Lee's hands were broken and through the remainder of that campaign a courier rode in front leading Traveller. After the war, Traveller accompanied Lee to Washington College in Lexington, where the horse was a great favourite with the students. In 1870 Traveller took part in Lee's funeral procession, bearing the General's saddle and boots, which were draped in black crepe, and following the caisson carrying Lee's coffin. In 1871, Traveller fell victim to tetanus, which was incurable back then, and he was euthanized.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which war was the "War to End All Wars?""

...When World War I was over, the leaders of the world's nations wanted to prevent such a destructive conflict from repeating. The massive slaughter of military and civilian populations on all sides prompted prolonged peace negotiations in its aftermath. The final proclamation, the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, unfortunately, was so harsh in its terms that it would set the stage for World War II. Rather than the "War to End All Wars," as it was commonly called, WWI was the prelude to the rise of the Nazi Party in the 1930s. Source: Reference.com
