'''George Rallis''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] form '''Giorgos''' or '''Georgios Rallis''') (born [[26 December]] [[1918]]), [[Greece|Greek]] politician, was Prime Minister of Greece from [[1980]] to [[1981]].

Rallis was born in [[Athens]] and studied law and political sciences at the [[University of Athens]]. He is descended from an old Greek political family. Before Greek independence, Alexander Rallis was a prominent Phanariote (Greek from [[Constantinople]]). In [[1849]] his son George Rallis became Chief Justice of the Greek Supreme Court.

Demitrios Rallis ([[1844]]-[[1921]]), grandfather of the current George Rallis, was five times Prime Minister of Greece, for short periods in [[1897]], [[1903]], [[1905]], [[1909]] and [[1921]]. His son, Ioannis or John Rallis ([[1878]]-[[1946]]), was Prime Minister from [[1943]] to [[1944]], during the [[Nazi Germany|German]] occupation. After the liberation of Greece he was sentenced to life imprisonment for collaboration and died in jail in [[1946]].

George Rallis was first elected to the Greek Parliament as a member of the People's Party in [[1950]], and was first appointed a minister in [[1954]] in the government of [[Alexander Papagos]]. He joined [[Constantine Karamanlis]] when he formed the [[National Radical Union]] and was a minister in the Karamanlis administrations until [[1963]].

After the military coup of [[1967]] Rallis was arrested and sent into exile on the island of [[Kasos]] when he said that democracy should be restored. He was later allowed to leave the country and stayed in exile until the restoration of democracy in [[1974]].

In [[1974]] Rallis returned to Greece and became Education Minister. He oversaw the educational reform, the institution of the [[Modern Greek|Dhimotiki]] as formal language in schools, and the reform of the school curricula. He then became Foreign Minister, became the first Greek Foreign Minister to visit the [[Soviet Union]], worked to restore relations with [[Bulgaria]] and [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] and negotiated Greece's accession to the [[European Union|EEC]].

When Karamanlis retired in [[1980]], Rallis was elected leader of New Democracy and succeeded Karamanlis as Prime Minister. Under his leadership Greece rejoined the military wing of [[NATO]]. The following year, however, he was defeated at elections by [[Andreas Papandreou]]'s [[PASOK]] party, and resigned as party leader. Later he had disagreements with his successor as leader, [[Constantine Mitsotakis]], and sat for a time as an independent MP. He is now retired.

Although Rallis became Prime Minister at a time when the fortunes of his party were in decline, he remains a popular figure because of his well-liked personal attributes of mildness, modesty and straightforwardness.
