Description
In August 1918, over 50,000 people participated in riots that injured hundreds and caused significant property damage. Many of the rioters were veterans, already frustrated with government treatment, angered by Greeceās neutrality during the First World War, and resentful of the large number of Greeks with highly visible jobs. The Vendome Cafe at 305 Yonge Street was pelted with bricks and raided by looters.
