George l., King of Greece. was
born December 25. 1915, the second
son of the late King of Denmark,
Christian TX. When the Greeks
finally succeeded in throwing off the
Turkish domination and looked about
for a ruler they called Prince George
of Denmark to accept the newly
created throne of Greece. He was
chosen king in March, 1868, and was
crowned In November of the same
year. In 1867 King George married
the Grand Duchess Olga, daughter OF
the Russian Grand Duke Constantine
The rule Of King George has been
a successful one aud no sovereign in
Europe enjoys a greater degree or
popularity with his subjects.
