Greece as a Republic (1924-
1935)
The Greek Republic was marked by continued
friction between the Liberals of Venizelos and
military officers.
The 1920s saw a succession of military coups
until a stable republican constitution was finally
established in 1927.
Venizelos returned after several years in exile
and was elected prime minister on July 3, 1928
He governed fairly successfully until a financial
crisis forced him from office in May 1932.
