Was exiled from Greece during WWI for being pro-German
Established a dictatorship in Greece
The Germans wanted to pass through Greece to get to the west and Metaxas gave Hitler the “ OK” because he saw how powerful the German Army was and he wanted to preserve Greece
Since Metaxas knew World War II was coming, his goal was to bring the people of Greece together since they were fighting among themselves
Made sure the people were paid fairly by threatening to take over companies
