Eleftherios Venizelos, Greece and the League of Nations
This study examines Eleftherios Venizelos’ approach to the League of Nations as a reflection of the complex interplay between idealism and realism in the diplomacy of a small-state leader. Venizelos, Greece’s Prime Minister and a pivotal figure at the Paris Peace Conference, embraced the League’s principles, viewing it as a mechanism to promote both international stability and Greek national interests. The article explores Venizelos’ dual strateg…
The dynamics of Détente
This study examines Greece’s pivotal role in supporting Turkey’s accession to the League of Nations between 1930 and 1932, highlighting the broader implications for Greek-Turkish rapprochement and interwar diplomacy. Following the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) and the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), the two nations embarked on a path of diplomatic reconciliation, culminating in the Greek-Turkish Friendship Treaty of 1930. Against this backdrop, Turkey…
Allegations made by Greece against Great Britain for human rights violations in Cyprus
This article investigates Greece’s decision to include allegations of human rights violations in Cyprus within its third recourse to the United Nations in 1956 regarding the Cyprus Question. The study reveals that while these allegations highlighted severe abuses by British colonial authorities, the Greek government’s primary objective was not merely to seek justice for these violations. Instead, Greece sought to leverage these claims as a strate…

The Greek population of Ottoman Pontus in the early twentieth century
The main aim of the article is to compare and contrast different sources that pertain to the Greek population of Pontus during the early twentieth century. More precisely, the article investigates the official censuses conducted by the Ottoman Empire, along with the statistical information gathered by the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs during that same time period. By taking this combined approach, the goal is t…
Greek Foreign Policy and the Rapprochement with Turkey in the 1930s
The year 1930 was a turning point for Greek-Turkish relations. It was the year that the two neighbouring countries set the foundations for their close diplomatic cooperation that lasted throughout the 1930s. This paper seeks to explain the reasons why Greece decided to pursue such a policy. It is argued that Athens was eager to form a pro-status quo front with Ankara in order to deter the revisionist tendencies of powers in the Balkans and the Ea…
Eoka and Anglo-Greek Relations
The paper gives an overview of how the armed struggle of EOKA against the British colonial rule in Cyprus between 1955 and 1959 affected relations between Greece and Great Britain. More specifically, it focuses on the Greek perspective on how the Anglo-Greek relation was evolved due to EOKA’s insurgency, by exploring the attitude of Athens towards EOKA, by investigating whether or not the Greek government backed the armed organisation (and by exp…
Attempting to Revise the Treaty of Lausanne
In June 1925, General Theodoros Pangalos imposed his dictatorship on Greece. During his 14-month rule, he set as one of his basic foreign policy goals the revision of the territorial settlement imposed on Greece and Turkey by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. Wanting to secure Eastern Thrace and possibly even part of Western Asia Minor for Greece, Pangalos sought the backing of at least one Great Power with interests in the region, in this case Italy,…
Violent Uprooting and Forced Migration
This article systematically examines the historical demography of Greek refugees from Asia Minor, Pontus and Eastern Thrace from the beginning of the 1910s until the aftermath of the signing of the Convention of Lausanne and even later until 1928 when the first general census after the Asia Minor Disaster of 1922 took place in Greece. In this context, the article focuses firstly on a comparative examination of the available sources concerning the…
Greece’s horizons
The Strategic Importance of Cyprus and the Prospect of Union with Greece, 1919–1931
The outbreak of the First World War brought about an important change in the status of Cyprus which was officially annexed by Great Britain. In the years that followed, successive Greek governments preferred not to pose openly the prospect of the island's cession to Greece. Athens understood that, given London's strategic interest in Cyprus, a favourable solution of the issue was inevitably related with the satisfaction of British strategic inter…
Research Note
In September 1922, after more than three years of war in Asia Minor, the Greek army was defeated by the Nationalist Turkish powers led by Mustafa Kemal. The atrocities from the part of the Turkish armed forces against the Christian popula- tions of Asia Minor that followed the retreat of the Greek Army resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of people as well as the destruction of many Christian properties. Moreover, hundreds of thousands …
