In these elections Eleftherios Venizelos and his party, the Liberal Pary , didn't participate. This was the outcome of a very fiercful confrontation with King Constantine I about Greece 's participation in World War I . Venizelos considered Greece as a close and loyal ally of England , while Constantine I , who was affiliated with the German royal family favored the neutrality of Greece . Although the electoral body supported Venizelos , Constantine I insisted in his position and did not hesitate to confront the democratically elected government. Venizelos resigned and withdrew temporarily from the political fore, leading the crisis to its worst point. Hence, in the elections participated only the right-wing parties. In a few months the crisis would almost become a civil war between the supporters of Venizelos , who created their own government in Thessaloniki , while the official government of Athens remained under the control of Constantine I . | ||
