(See Sept. 7)| Greece entered the war only in June 1917 after a virtual civil war between the prime minister, Eleftherios Venizelos, and King Constantine I. The latter went into exile without formally abdicating and was replaced by his son, ALEXANDER I. The subsequent purge of the Greek military, administration, and judiciary of Constantine's supporters set the stage for the instability of interwar Greece. | 1 |
