'''Anastasios Papoulas''' ([[1859]] - [[March]] [[1935]]) was a Greek general and commander-in-chief during the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922)|Graeco-Turkish War]] of 1919-1922.

Born in 1859, Anastasios Papoulas entered politics in his early twenties eventually becoming a close friend and confidant of [[King Constantine I]]. Appointed commander of Greek forces in [[Asia Minor]] by Constantine in late 1920, however his offensive to establish Greek control over western Anatolia was halted at the [[First Battle of Inonu]] in January 1921. After being reinforced, Papoulas resumed his offensive on March 23, however his army, numbering 100,000 men, were again defeated at the [[Second Battle of Inonu]] on [[March 28]]-[[March 30|30]].

Relieved of command by Constantine, Papoulas continued to command forces at the [[Battle of Eskisehir|Battles of Eskisehir]] (August 16-17) and [[Battle of Sakarya]] (August 24-September 16) before taking command of retreating Greek forces from Afyon Karahisar, from late August to September 9, narrowly preventing a rout by the Turkish army.

Following war's end in 1922, Papoulas became a strong opponent to the Monarchy after the establishment of the Greek republic as a supporter of the Venizelos government during the late [[1920s]] to the early [[1930s]]. Leading a coup in support of the Venizelos Liberal party in early 1935, his failure resulted in his capture and eventual execution for treason later that year.
