During World War One Greece had tried to remain neutral. Pressure from the Entente forced Greece into the war against the Middle Powers after the king, Konstantin abdicated. In 1919 Greece occupied Smyrna which caused a war with Turkey. In 1922 they were defeated and over a million Greeks fled Turkey. This caused land reforms that led to the dominance of landowners. In 1924 Greece became a republic which lasted until 1935. Georg II was put back on the throne in 1935 by the royalists.
However in mid 1935 a new face had arrived on the scene. BigDan, who had earned fame for several victories in Greece's war with Turkey, entered into politics. He had many supporters especially in the army. Eventually the support became to much for the king. He ordered the arrest of BigDan and his supporters. Luckily BigDans supporters had spies in the government. He was able to flee to northern Greece where the majority of his supporters were.
August saw the first major encounter between the royalists and BigDan's imperialists at Volos. The royalists had no chance. Greece's cavalry wing had given its support to BigDan. The only cavalry the royalists had was the few that remained with the king and some quickly trained citizens. Out of the ten infantry divisions seven had went imperialist. At the battle of Volos the royalists lost around 3,000 men before they fled. The imperialists lost only about 700.
The siege of Athens in late September was hardly a siege. After arriving at Athens the king immediatly asked BigDan for terms. Georg was allowed to keep his throne but the real power went to Dan who immediatly became head of the government and the virtual dictator.
GhostWriter immediatly became the foreign minister. He was chosen for this because of his success in gathering over 6,000 mercenary soldiers for the Imperialists. He was also famous for his successful campaign resulting in the capture of Crete in August.
Mr.G was originally the minister of armaments for Georg. When the civil war started he fled to the imperialist camp. He became one of the party's main supporters because he saw that the party could potentially lead Greece to greatness. He had great plans for Greece but was unsure of wether they would raise Greece up or bring it crashing down.
The position of chief of staff was given to Poppy. He was the commander at Volos and he had been BigDan's aide during World War One and the Turkish War. He was a capable and very competent military strategist. Greece's survival and dominance rested upon his shoulders.
Jenn of Athens became chief of the army. Her brilliant campaign in Southern Greece provided all the credentials she needed. In about one and a half week the Peloponnesian Pennisula was conquered. She captured intact one regular army divison and three citizen militia regements. In the process she only lost 19 men. In fact six were from an artillery shell accident.
In his Graciousness His Imperial Greatness BigDan kept Georgs ministers of security, intelligence, navy and air. Of course these people were kept under continous survelliance. BigDan knew he had to replace them with more loyal people the moment he could. Of course in order to avoid breaking the peace agreement there would have to be proper cause.
BigDan had aspirations. He had created the the Order of Constantine and the Imperial City(OCIC). All his cabinet ministers and several Greek field commanders became members. The order was dedicated to rebuilding the Byzantine Empire. This had Greece's neighbors worried even though he assured them it was all fun and games. Of course people had doubts when BigDan assumed the title of His Imperial Greatness and became the Chancellor. His neighbors became even more concerned when it was announce Greece would rebuild it's legions strong enough for the challenges to come. The world watched helplessly as BigDan and his Imperialists started a movement for the greatness of Greece. It comforted no one when the Greek government started talks with Hitler and Greece rapidly started changing. While most countries advanced into the future Greece went back. Back to a past where it had greatness and Glory. As BigDan relected on this he wondered if he truly was leading Greece to a great future or a horrible nightmare.
