EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Greek history as Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos (1864-1936) reviews a Greek regiment before they set out to face the Bulgarian army during the Balkan Campaign of the First World War. The campaign, which took place between 1912 and 1913, saw Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria vying for control of the region, with Venizelos advocating for Greek expansion. The image, taken circa 1915 in Salonika (now Thessaloniki), shows Venizelos in military attire, his gaze focused intently on the soldiers before him. The troops, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their weapons, return his gaze with determination and resolve. The backdrop of the photograph is the bustling city of Salonika, with its diverse population and vibrant markets, adding a sense of the wider world events unfolding around this critical moment. Venizelos, a charismatic and influential Greek politician, served as Prime Minister on multiple occasions, leading Greece through tumultuous times and shaping its modern political landscape. This powerful image encapsulates the spirit of the soldiers, their leader, and the larger geopolitical context of the Balkan Campaign during the First World War.
