Sotirios Krokidas

Sotirios G. Krokidas (Greek: Σωτήριος Γ. Κροκίδας; 1852 in Sikyona – July 29, 1924 in Perigiali) was an interim Prime Minister of Greece in 1922.

When the Greek army was defeated in the Greco-Turkish War and the government of Petros Protopapadakis fell, Greece was plunged into a political crisis.

In September, 1922, Nikolaos Triantaphillakos was Prime Minister as the military revolted in Thessaloniki and then in Mytilene.

A revolutionary committee led by Stylianos Gonatas demanded the abdication of Constantine I of Greece and on September 26, 1922, the king abandoned his throne and the government of Triantaphillakos resigned.

[4] Krokidas resigned on November 27, 1922, as a result of in-fighting among ministers concerning fallout from the Trial of the Six, and he was replaced by the leader of the Revolutionary committee, Stylianos Gonatas.
