-During the political crisis surrounding Greece's entry into [[World War I]], Papandreou was one of Venizelos's closest supporters against the pro-German [[King Constantine I]].  When Venizelos was forced to flee [[Athens]], Papandreou accompanied him to [[Crete]], and then went to [[Lesbos]], where he mobilised anti-monarchist supporters in the islands and rallied support for Venizelos's insurgent pro-British government in [[Thessaloniki]]. In [[1921]] he narrowly escaped assassination.

-Papandreou served as a [[Venizelism|Venizelist]] Member of Parliament, as Interior Minister in [[1923]], and in several other government posts during the Republic of [[1924]]&#8211;[[1935]]. A lifelong opponent of the Greek monarchy, he was exiled in [[1936]] by the Greek royalist dictator [[Ioannis Metaxas]]. Following the German occupation of Greece in [[World War II]], he joined the predominately Venizelist government-in-exile based in Egypt (with British support, and [[King George II]] as official head of state), and in [[1944]]-[[1945|45]] he served as Prime Minister. During the later 1940s he saw the [[Greek Communist Party]] as the main threat to democracy and served in a number of cabinets between [[1946]] and [[1952]] while the [[Greek Civil War]] was raging.

-Papandreou spent the rest of the 1950s in opposition, while the conservatives were in the ascendant and the left was repressed by the royalist controlled armed forces. In [[1961]] Papandreou revived Greek liberalism by founding the [[Center Union]] Party, a confederation of old liberal Venizelists and dissatisfied conservatives. Papandreou's party won the elections of November [[1963]]. His progressive policies as premier aroused much opposition in conservative circles, as did the prominent role played by his son Andreas, whose policies were seen as being considerably left of center.

 He was against the Zurich agreement which led to the foundation of the republic of [[Cyprus]]. Following clashes between the two communities in [[Cyprus]], his government sent a Greek army division to Cyprus in [[1964]].
