Biographical History
The Italians invaded the islands of Dodecanese in 1912 during the Italian-Ottoman War. The territory was annexed to the Italian Kingdom in 1924. All the administrative apparatus was dominated by an Italian Governor who exercised "full civil powers" and responded only to the Italian minister of Foreign Affairs. The islands were conquered by the Germans (1943-1945) and then by the English military forces (1945-1947). The Dodecanese were incorporated to Greece in 1947.
