Venizelos for the official line of the country. In the meantime, since October 1915, English and French military divisions had disembarked in Thessaloniki. Venizelos, along with admiral Kountouriotis and general Dagklis had formed a provisional government and on September 26, 1916 they disembarked in Thessaloniki. Along with the national defense committee that had been formed in Thessaloniki, they formed a government that came to power, ruling across the revolted Greece (November 1916).
