What is celebrated on Ohi Day?

In Greek, “Ohi” means “No”. The anniversary of “Ohi” marks Greece’s rejection of the Italian demands contained in the ultimatum delivered by the Italian ambassador to Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas on October 28, 1940. This refusal led to the country’s entry into World War II and the outbreak of the Italo-Greek War of 1940.
