This was the slogan that Royalists used to apply during the period of 1920 to support King Constantin I<\/strong>\u00a0 (or Cotso<\/strong>), who was imported to Greece from Germany, and who used to reign upon Greeks at that time. It was a very strong slogan that divided Greeks because the King (who had nothing learnt on how to reign from English Royalty) wanted to govern and make war to the Prime Minister coming from the Center and Left wing of the Parliament called Eleftherios Venizelos<\/strong><\/a> and who gave Greece today\u2019s geographical size.<\/p>

In fact, Eleftherios Venizelos wanted more for Greece, he wanted to bring together again with the Main Land the land that Greeks used to have during Antiquity and especially the Asia Minor territory that was still under the Ottoman Empire. He had the vision to make Greece a country of 2 continents and 5 seas and so he made war with Turks and their allies Germans, who had imposed the First World War to Europe, but his allies were England and France that is the Endente Powers facing Germany and their allies. He had chosen the winners of the Great War even if at that time nothing was certain at all!<\/p>

Unfortunately, the King Constatin, who was a friend of Germans due to his blood line, won a decisive election for the progress of the War in Asia Minor, and decided to remove the troops from that land. This decision brought Greeks on these lands to absolute destress and resulted to their complete eradication because they were slaughtered and forced out of their land by the forces of Kemal who at that time was fighting to eradicate the Ottoman Empire and finish up with Greeks. This complete disaster<\/strong> transformed in refugees<\/strong> more<\/strong> thanone million people<\/strong> and is known as the Asia Minor Catastrophe<\/strong> , it also resulted to the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey and of course resulted to the drastic decrease of Greek community in Constantinople which unfortunately never became Greek again since its fall in Turkish hands on 1453 and the end of the Byzantine Empire.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
