** George II then had to leave Greece as well (in December 1923) and the Greek National Assembly declared Greece a republic in March 1924. When that was dismantled, conservative leader Ionannis Metaxas saw to it that George was returned to the throne in a farcical referendum (98 per cent of votes in favour of the restoration of the monarchy) in November 1935, which enabled Metaxas to be established as Greece's dictator in 1936. Forced to go into exile by the German invasion of 1941, George II was reinstated by the British against the wishes of a large part of the Greek population, which led to the Greek civil war (1946-1949). After a referendum in September 1946, George II returned from exile. He died not long afterwards in April 1947.
