Greek referendum, 1920
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
A referendum on the return of King Constantine I was held in Greece on 22 November 1920.[1] It followed the death of his son, King Alexander. The proposal was approved by 99.0% of voters.[2] The result ensured and affirmed the dominance of the anti-Venizelist camp in the country. Constantine returned, albeit questioned by the supporters of the Liberal Party, while Liberal leader Eleftherios Venizelos maintained his silence, being in voluntary exile abroad.
Constantine I was opposed by the Entente powers (England, France, Italy) because of his pro-German stance during World War I (see National Schism) and his enthusiastic return was short-lived as a result of the disastrous military events that followed in the Asia Minor Campaign of 1922.
