Answer

The Megali Idea, or the Great Idea, was a nationalist ideology that held that Greece should reclaim the lands of the former Byzantine Empire, including Asia Minor and Constantinople, the former capital of the Byzantine Empire. Venizelos, who served as prime minister of Greece from 1910 to 1920 and again from 1928 to 1932, was a strong proponent of the Megali Idea.
