	Alexander Papagos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Papagos remained behind and in July 1943, together with other generals, he was arrested and sent to concentration camps in Germany.
		Despite this victory, Papagos was unable to form a government, and had to wait until the November 16, 1952 elections, when, with a change in the electoral system, he gained 239 out of 300 seats in Parliament.
		Papagos' government successfully strived to modernize Greece (where the young and energetic Minister of Public Works, Constantine Karamanlis, first distinguished himself) and restore the economy of a country ruined by 10 years of war, but did little to restore social harmony in a country still scarred from the civil war.

		Government was unstable in 1950–51, but after a new constitution was ratified in 1951 and elections were held in 1952, Field Marshal Papagos became premier with a majority in the legislature.
		When Papagos died in 1955, he was succeeded by Constantine Karamanlis, whose National Radical Union party increased its majority in subsequent elections (1956, 1958, 1961).
		Under Papagos and Karamanlis, the Greek economy improved considerably, despite a series of damaging earthquakes in 1953–54; the United States continued to give Greece considerable economic and military aid.

		He practiced law in Serres, entered politics with the conservative People's Party (Laikon Komma) and was elected Member of Parliament for the first time at the age of 28, in the last elections held before World War II.
		He performed unusually well in this position and, when Papagos died and was to be succeeded, King Paul of Greece immediately suggested the young Karamanlis for Prime Mininster.
		In doing this, the King bypassed Stephanos Stephanopoulos and Panagiotis Kanellopoulos, the two senior Synagermos politicians who were widely considered as the heavyweights most likely to succeed Papagos.

	The Misunderstanding about the Aliakmon Line \| NZETC
		The transfer of troops from Albania would have simplified the task, but Papagos thought that the morale of his force would decline and that any move would be too late.
		The attitude of General Papagos was bound to react unfavourably upon the fighting spirit of his army and the failure of the Greeks to withdraw to the Aliakmon line was most serious.
		The British had expected that some Greek troops could be transferred from Albania to this line, but Papagos now reported that his army was ‘exhausted and outnumbered.’ With enemy aircraft operating from the island of Rhodes, some of the Royal Air Force would have to be used to protect the sea route to Greece.

	Greece
		The major political figure during most of the first half of our time period was Field Marshal Alexander Papagos, whose Greek Rally--formed from many of the Populist members--won 44 percent of the seats in 1951 and command of the chamber.
		The Union of Democratic Left (EDA), a left wing party considered by many as a substitute for the Communist Party, which was outlawed in 1947, received about 10 percent of the votes but no seats.
		With the death of Papagos in 1955, Constantine Karamanlis was named premier by the king, and Karamanlis proceeded to reorganize the Greek Rally as the National Radical Union (ERE), made up mainly of Greek Rally candidates with some former liberals.

		In 1959 he announced a five-year plan (1960–64) for the Greek economy, emphasizing improvement of agricultural and industrial production, heavy investment on infrastructure and the promotion of tourism.
		In the meantime he had refounded Papagos' old Synagermos party under a new name, "Ethnike Rizospastike Enosis" (National Radical Union).
		In July 1963, he resigned the premiership after a disagreement with King Paul of Greece, probably fuelled by the intense antipathy Queen Frederika felt for him, and spent four months abroad.

		During a meeting of British and Greek military and political leaders which took place in Athens on 13 January, Gen. Alexander Papagos, Commander in Chief of the Greek Army, reviewed the situation and expressed the opinion that Yugoslavia would probably remain neutral.
		His decision was based on an agreement with General Papagos according to which the British troops were to evacuate Greece in order to spare that country from unnecessary devastation.
