On 12 August 1920 Prime Minister E. Venizelos faced an assassination attempt by two fanatic royalist officers at the Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris, while returning to Greece after signing the Sevres Peace Treaty. However he was wounded lightly by 2 bullets while second assassin's gun misfired... This event provoked unrest in Greece and provided further fuel for the national division. The persecution of Venizelos' opponents reached a climax with the assassination of the idiosyncratic anti-Venizelist and monarchist Ion Dragoumis by paramilitary Venizelists on 13 August. After his recovery, Venizelos returned to Greece, where he was welcomed as a hero.
WI Venizelos had died in this incident? How is this altering History? Any thoughts?
