Greece made last-minute overtures to its international creditors for financial aid on Tuesday, but it was not enough to save the country from becoming the first developed economy to default on a loan with the International Monetary Fund.
The left-wing Greek government had asked European partners for a two-year aid package to cover its financing needs.
