'''Petros Protopapadakis''' ([[1859]] - [[1922]]) was a [[Greeks|Greek]] engineer and politician of the latter 19th and early [[20th Century]].

Protopapadakis was born on the island of [[Naxos]] in the [[Cyclades]] complex. He finished secondary school in [[Ermoupolis]], [[Syros]], and went on to study in the [[University of Athens]] and Paris.

On his return to [[Greece]], Protopapadakis taught until [[1890]] when he was assigned the task of building the [[Corinth Canal]]. Afterwards, he designed and completed several railroad lines, making a name for himself as a top Greek engineer.

In [[1902]] he entered politics. He came to serve as Minister of Finance in several governments and, between [[May 9]] and [[August 28]], [[1922]], as Prime Minister. It was during this tenure that the front collapsed during the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922)]], resulting in the [[Asia Minor Disaster]]. Protopapadakis was deemed responsible for the catastrophe and was put on trial along with his mentor, [[Dimitrios Gounaris]] and four others. The six men were executed in [[Goudi]], [[Athens]] on the morning of [[November 28]], [[1922]].
