Description & Specifications

In the autumn of 1915, Entente Cordiale forces landed in Thessaloniki, following the failed campaign in the Dardanelles, and formed the Army of the East. The concentration of troops in Macedonia aimed to assist Serbia, which was under attack from the Central Powers. However, the retreat of Serbian forces forced the Allies to remain inactive in Thessaloniki for a long period.

From a Franco-British expeditionary force of tens of thousands of men in late 1915, the Army of the East ended up by 1918 as a multinational and multireligious mosaic that included Greeks, Serbs, Russians, Italians, "Senegalese," North Africans, and Armenians, with the army numbering approximately 650,000 soldiers.

After the surrender of the Rupel fortress and the occupation of Eastern Macedonia by the Central Powers, the country found itself in the autumn of 1916 divided between the Athens Government under the pro-German King Constantine and the Provisional Government of Thessaloniki under Eleftherios Venizelos, who supported the Allies' policy. The "National Schism" peaked in 1916 with the naval blockade imposed by the Allies on "Old Greece" in order to force Constantine to retreat and their conflict with regular army units as well as paramilitary organizations, known as the "November Events."

1917 was a transitional and pivotal year for Greece. The consequences of the "November Events" on the population of Athens, the imposing French military presence in the city, as well as the mission of French senator Charles Jonnart forced the king to leave Greece. In June 1917, Venizelos returned to Athens and the now unified Greece entered the war on the side of the Entente.

The following month, the Parliament, which had been unconstitutionally dissolved in May 1915, was reconvened and was referred to as the "Parliament of the Lazars," and Constantine's successor, Alexander, ascended to the throne. It marked the beginning of a new chapter in Greek history.

This album presents unknown photographic evidence of Athens in the early 20th century, specifically in 1917, during which the city was a theater of intense political turmoil, in a broader climate of dangerous fluctuations in the life of the Greek state. The photographic perspective of the French soldiers – whose presence in the capital (as part of the Entente alliance) was a result of these exceptional circumstances – focused, naturally, primarily on the human factor.
