'''Theodoros Pangalos''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] '''Θεόδωρος Πάγκαλος'''). Born [[1878]] ([[Salamina]], [[Greece]]); died [[1952]] ([[Athens]], Greece). [[Greece|Greek]] general who briefly ruled the country in [[1925]] and [[1926]].

== Early Career ==

Pangalos graduated first in his class from the [[Scholi Evelpidon]] Military Academy in 1900, and continued his studies in [[Paris]], [[France]]. In [[1916]] he supported [[Eleftherios Venizelos]] in his struggle against [[King Constantine I]], and was rewarded with a senior position in the War Ministry. He was demoted after Constantine returned to power in [[1920]]; in [[1923]] Pangalos supported the [[coup d'etat]] by [[Nikolaos Plastiras]] which abolished the monarchy and declared the [[1st Hellenic Republic]]. His first job was to prosecute a number of prominent pro-monarchists which resulted in 6 executions; he then rushed to [[Thessaloniki]], from where he successfully reorganized the Greek army in [[Macedonia]] and [[Thrace]], as a [[Turkey|Turkish]] attack in the region was feared to be imminent.

A staunch nationalist, Pangalos objected to the terms of the [[Treaty of Lausanne]], and declared that his troops would attack Turkey in order to block the deal. He was forced to resign, but his stance made him popular with the many segments of Greek society that objected to the treaty. During the period of political instability that followed, Pangalos jumped into the fray, gaining and losing a number of ministerial positions as governments came and went.

== In Power ==

On [[June 24]], [[1925]], officers loyal to Pangalos, fearing that the political instability was putting the country at risk, overthrew the government in a coup. Pangalos immediately abolished the republic and began to prosecute anyone who could possibly challenge his authority, including his old boss, Plastiras. [[Freedom of the press]] was abolished, and a number of repressive laws were enacted (including a law dictating the length of women's skirts - no more than 30cm above the ground).

Soon, many of the officers that had helped him come to power decided that he had to be removed. On [[24 August]], [[1926]], a counter-coup deposed him and [[Pavlos Kountouriotis]] returned as President.

== After his rule ==

Pangalos remained in prison for 2 years and was released during a period when a number of amnesties were given by Venizelos. He never regained the popular support he had before the coup, and never again played a role in Greek politics. He unsuccessfully run for parliament in 1950 (on a nationalist/anti-communist platform) and died 2 years later.

His grandson, also named [[Theodoros Pangalos (PASOK MP)|Theodoros Pangalos]], is currently a member of the Greek parliament and a former minister of Foreign Affairs. Ironically, he is a member of the [[PASOK]] socialist party.
