== History ==
=== The Kingdom of Greece ===
The Kingdom of Greece was formed after the First Hellenic Republic was declared, after the Greek War of Independence. The kingdom reigned in Greece for almost one hundred years before the December Revolution began. During the Royal reign, a lot of things has been debated throughout the years, especially with the growing revolts against the government in staying neutral in the Great War. The majority of the people wanted to join the side of the Entente, taking revenge against Bulgaria and hopefully reclaiming the city of Constantinople. King Constantine I was unable to reclaim Constantinople when the Great War ended, so he thought that in the Turkish War of Independence he would sought to reclaim the city once and for all.
==== Turkish War of Independence ====
In the Turkish War of Independence, Greece intervened. Large amounts of Turkish lands were being occupied by the offensive Greek forces but were overwhelmed by the Turkish forces at the end of the war. The Asia Minor catastrophe and the inevitable loss of the war led to the people uprising against the government. 
=== December Revolution ===
After the inevitable loss of the war against Turkey and their now exiled Ottoman monarchy, in December 24th, 1921 the people arose and began the Revolution known as the December Revolution. It was funded by most of the world's communist parties alike, but more notably by the Communist party of Germany and by the Soviet Union, which was led by Lenin at the time. It was a long fight however, which at the start of the revolution it seemed promising. But at the end, the communist government won against the monarchy. The monarchy was chosen to not be killed but exiled in Denmark.
