Lebanon conference
The Lebanon conference (Greek: Συνέδριο του Λιβάνου) was held on May 17-20, 1944, between representatives of the Greek government in exile and the pre-war Greek political parties and the major Greek Resistance organizations, with the British ambassador Reginald Leeper in attendance. The conference occurred after an anti-monarchist mutiny among the Greek military the previous month. Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou was unable to reconcile communist and anti-communist political factions.
