Alexander
(
Greek
:
Αλέξανδρος
,
Aléxandros
; 1 August 1893 – 25 October 1920)
[a]
was
King of Greece
from 11 June 1917 until his death three years later, at the age of 27, from the effects of a monkey bite.
The second son of
King Constantine I
, Alexander was born in the summer palace of
Tatoi
on the outskirts of
Athens
. He succeeded his father in 1917, during
World War I
, after the
Entente Powers
and the followers of
Eleftherios Venizelos
pushed Constantine I, and his eldest son
Crown Prince George
, into exile. Having no real political experience, the new king was stripped of his powers by the
Venizelists
and effectively imprisoned in his own palace. Venizelos, as prime minister, was the effective ruler with the support of the Entente. Though reduced to the status of a
puppet king
, Alexander supported Greek troops during their war against the
Ottoman Empire
and
Bulgaria
. Under his reign, the territorial extent of Greece considerably increased, following the victory of the Entente and their
Allies
in the First World War and the early stages of the
Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922
.
Alexander controversially married the commoner
Aspasia Manos
in 1919, provoking a major scandal that forced the couple to leave Greece for several months. Soon after returning to Greece with his wife, Alexander was bitten by a domestic
Barbary macaque
and died of
sepsis
. The sudden death of the sovereign led to questions over the monarchy's survival and contributed to the fall of the Venizelist regime. After a
general election
and a
referendum
, Constantine I was restored to the throne.
