 Because of his prudence in shaking-up the army and fleet, the country was well prepared for the [[Balkan Wars]] of 1912-1913, and thus it became possible to liberate the Northern territories of [[Epirus]], [[Macedonia]], and the [[Aegean Islands]]. The debates of Venizelos with Prince [[King Constantine I|Constantine]] on the route of
 the Army and which cities should be first liberated are very well known. This was the first conflict between Venizelos and Constantine, who shortly became king after his father's assassination in [[1913]]. The next conflict between Constantine and Venizelos was during [[World War I|WWI]].
-Though Greece remained neutral for the first years, Venizelos supported the an alliance with the [[Entente]], believing that Britain and France would win. On the other hand Constantine wanted to remain neutral. In a series of debates, Venizelos resigned at [[February 21]] [[1915]].

 Venizelos' party again won the elections and formed a government. Though Venizelos promised to remain neutral, Bulgaria's attack on Serbia, with which Greece had an alliance treaty, obliged him to abandon that policy. He again disagreed with the king and resigned once more. At the next elections he didn't take part as he considered the dissolution of the Parliament unconstitutional. Meanwhile, with the excuse of saving  Serbia, the Allies disembarked an army in [[Thessaloniki]].

 This debate between Venizelos and Constantine was the cause of the [[Great Division]], which was a social wound for the country over many decades. In [[1916]] Venizelos' followers organized a military movement in Thessaloniki, called the  "Provisional Government of National Defence". There they founded a new state including Northern Greece and Aegean Islands.
-On May [[1917]], after the exile of Constantine (his second son [[King Alexander|Alexander]] succeeded him), Venizelos returned to Athens and allied with the Entente. After the war he took part in Paris Peace Conference, 1919 and signed as Greece's representative the [[Treaty of Neuilly]] ([[November 27]], [[1919]]) and the [[Treaty of Sevres]] ([[August 10]] [[1920]]). As the result of these treaties Greece acquired (very temporarily) [[Eastern Thrace]] and [[Smyrna]]). On his return to Greece he faced an assassination attack at the Lyon Rail Station. After his recovery he returned in Greece, where he was welcomed as a hero because he had liberated areas with Greek populations.
