King Constantine I was forced to abdicate
Time: Wednesday Sep 27, 1922
Place: Athens, Greece
Details: The war went badly for Greece, and the Turks made large gains. Philip's uncle and high commander of the Greek expeditionary force, King Constantine I, was blamed for the defeat and was forced to abdicate on 27 September 1922. The new military government arrested Prince Andrew, along with others. The commanding officer of the army, General Georgios Hatzianestis, and five senior politicians were arrested, tried, and executed in the Trial of the Six. Prince Andrew's life was also believed to be in danger, and Princess Alice was under surveillance.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
