Between 1914 and 1917, during the World War I, the King of Greece
Konstantinos A’ and the Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos argued

Greece would gain more if it took the side of the Allies (Great Britain,
France and Russia).
The Greeks who lived in Cape Town passed a resolution declaring that Greece should fight with the Allies side (Rhodesia Herald, 26/11/1915).
