Nikolaos Stratos

He was chosen as Interior Minister in 1909 under Kiriakoulis Mavromichalis after the Military League took power.

In 1922, Greece was in turmoil as the war in Asia Minor was in a stalemate after the failure of the Greek attempt to capture Ankara the previous year.

Stratos ultimately deferred to Petros Protopapadakis who successfully formed a government a few days later.

[1][2] Later in 1922, Stratos, along with Gounaris, Protopapadakis and others were charged, tried and convicted for the loss of the war in Asia Minor in what was known as the Trial of the Six.

[3] His son, Andreas Stratos, became a prominent politician and historian, while his daughter, Dora Stratou, became an actress and important promoter of Greek folk music and dances.
