World War I and the National Schism
The division of Europe into competing
alliance groups, with the Triple Entente (Britain, France, and Russia)
on one side and the Triple Alliance or the Central Powers (Germany,
Austria, Italy, and eventually the Ottoman Empire) on the other, had
ramifications throughout the complex diplomatic and ethnic
relationships of the Balkans. In Greece the war that arose between
those alliances sharpened the outlines of two opposing styles of
government and foreign policy. The resulting bitter schism remained in
Greek politics and society for decades after the end of World War I.
