概要
You wake to tanks outside and one morning to choose your country's fate
In this episode, we trace the morning in 1967 when King Constantine II faced a choice that would define his life and Greece's future. We follow the lead-up from his birth in 1940, childhood exile, Olympic victory, and the political clashes that set the stage for that decisive day - what choice did he make, and why does it still matter?
Person: Constantine II
Date: June 2, 1940 (birth); March 23, 1964 (sworn in as King)
Location: Athens; Villa Psychiko; Villa Psychiko (Pretoria)
Event: Army tanks surround the king; countercoup with five minutes of fuel to spare
Topic: Monarchy versus military and political crisis (George Papandreou; ASPIDA affair)
- Born into exile in 1940, Constantine spent his first years as a royal without a country and returned to a restored monarchy in 1946.
- Rapidly groomed for rule: Anávryta schooling, Duke of Sparta title, NATO training, law studies, and an Olympic gold in 1960.
- Became king at 23 in 1964 amid a bitter clash with Prime Minister George Papandreou over the Defense Ministry and the ASPIDA scandal.
- In July 1965 a ministerial crisis and the killing of student Sotiris Petroulas turned public anger toward the monarchy.
- In 1967 Constantine confronted tanks, his pregnant wife beside him, and a decision that would follow him for decades.
