Historical background

Resolution 34 was passed in the midst of the Greek civil war, in which the communist states of Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia supported the Democratic Army of Greece. At one time, Bulgaria occupied a portion of Greek Macedonia. At the end of the conflict, Joseph Stalin, who wished to end the war, clashed with Josip Broz Tito, who wanted it to continue.
