He studied at the Greek Military Academy, graduating in [[1912]]. He saw action during the [[Balkan Wars]] ([[1912]]-[[1913]]) as an artillery officer.
-On [[June 12]] (May 30 OS), [[1917]], he became King of Greece in place of his father who was driven out of the country by the Entente allies as he refused to approve the country's entry into [[World War I]]. Alexander's reign coincided with the Greek occupation of [[Asia Minor]] following the [[World War I|first World War]]. The young monarch became popular with his army by visiting [[Eastern Thrace]] and [[Asia Minor]] despite advice to the contrary. He also reconciled with PM [[Eleftherios Venizelos]] whom his father vehemently opposed.
