The "ΟΧΙ" Anniversary commemorates Greece's rejection of Italian claims contained in the ultimatum delivered by the Italian ambassador to the Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas on October 28, 1940.
The consequence of this refusal was the country's entry into World War II and the start of the Greek-Italian war of 1940. This date was established to be celebrated in Greece and Cyprus every year as an official national holiday. Also, many Greek communities worldwide celebrate the Anniversary of "OXI".
