Editing Paul of Greece (section)

===Return to Greece===
On 19 December 1920, Paul and the other Greek royals returned to Greece.{{sfn|Van der Kiste|1994|pp=128–129}} They were greeted by demonstrations in support of the monarchy. However, Constantine's restoration was criticised by Greece's allies in the concurrent Greco-Turkish war, most of which were also Greece's allies in World War I, to which Constantine refused to join. Constantine was denied additional support from the Allies in the war against Turkey, allowing [[Mustafa Kemal]] to eventually make more territorial gains.{{sfn|Van der Kiste|1994|pp=129–130}} Constantine left Paul and his other children with his wife in 1921 when he travelled to Anatolia to boost the morale of Greek troops. While on the frontlines, Constantine attempted to boost confidence by reminding soldiers of their successes in the Balkan Wars. However, after only a few months, Constantine reunited with his children at Tatoi in September 1921.{{sfn|Van der Kiste|1994|pp=132–135}}

Upon their return to Greece, Paul wished to resume his naval training and joined the [[Hellenic Naval Academy]], taking up residence in the academy's boarding school, located in Piraeus. Paul studied and trained there for two years and was promoted to the rank of [[second lieutenant]] in 1922. Paul served for several months on a Greek cruiser, the [[Greek cruiser Elli (1912)|''Elli'']].{{sfn|Hourmouzios|1972|pp=49–51}} Despite Greece's involvement in the Turkish War of Independence, Paul never fought in a battle but participated in the evacuation of Greek and Armenian refugees from Smyrnan shores following the [[burning of Smyrna]] by Turkish troops. Turkey later defeated Greece and their allies, who had been suffering since the fall of Smyrna in August 1922.{{sfn|Palmer|Greece|1990|p=65}}
