Political riots bloody Athens for three days

The Greek Vespers are political riots that occurred in the Hellenic capital under the pressure of tensions between monarchists and Venizelists. The anger of monarchist circles regarding the support of the Venizelists for the Entente troops triggered massive looting throughout the city. Thirty-five people were killed during these three days of violence, including a majority of refugees from Asia Minor according to S. M. Chester.
