See also:DELYANNI, THEODOROS (1826-1905) , See also:Greek statesman, was See also:born at Kalavryta, See also:Peloponnesus, in 1826. He studied See also:law at See also:Athens, and in 1843 entered the See also:ministry of the interior, of which See also:department he became permanent secretary in 1859. In 1862, on the deposition of See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
King See also:Otho, he became See also:minister for See also:foreign affairs in the provisional See also:government. In 1867 he was minister at See also:Paris. On his return to Athens he became a member of successive cabinets in various capacities, and rapidly collected a party around him consisting of those who opposed his See also:great See also:rival, Tricoupi. In the so-called " See also:Oecumenical Ministry " of 1877 he voted for See also:war with See also:Turkey, and on its fall he entered the See also:cabinet of Koumoundoros as minister for foreign affairs. He was a representative of See also:Greece at the See also:Berlin See also:Congress in 1878. From this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time forward, and particularly after 1882, when Tricoupi again came into See also:power at the See also:head of a strong party, the See also:duel between these two statesmen was the leading feature of Greek politics. (See GREECE: See also:History.) Delyanni first formed a cabinet in 1885; but his warlike policy, the aim of which was, by threatening Turkey, to force the See also:powers to make concessions in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to avoid the See also:risk of a See also:European war, ended in failure. For the powers, in order to stop his excessive armaments, eventually blockaded the See also:Peiraeus and other ports, and this brought about his downfall. He returned to power in 189o, with a See also:radical See also:programme, but his failure to See also:deal with the See also:financial crisis produced a conflict between him and the king, and his disrespectful attitude resulted in his See also:summary dismissal in 1892. Delyanni, by his demagogic behaviour, evidently expected the public to See also:side with him; but at the elections he was badly beaten. In 1895, however, he again became See also:prime minister, and was at the head of affairs during the Cretan crisis and the opening of the war with Turkey in 1897. The humiliating defeat which ensued —though Delyanni himself had been led into the disastrous war policy to some extent against his will—caused his fall in See also:April 1897, the king again dismissing him from See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office when he declined to resign. Delyanni kept his own seat at the See also:election of 1899, but his following dwindled to small dimensions. He quickly recovered his See also:influence, however, and he was again See also:president of the See also:council and minister of the interior when, on the 13th of See also:June 1905, he was murdered in revenge for the rigorous See also:measures taken by him against gambling houses.
The See also:main See also:fault of Delyanni as a statesman was that he was unable to grasp the truth that the prosperity of a See also:state depends on its adapting its ambitions to its means. Yet, in his vast projects, which the powers were never likely to endorse, and without their endorsement were vain, he represented the real wishes and aspirations of his countrymen, and his See also:death was the occasion for an extraordinary demonstration of popular grief. He died in extreme poverty, and a See also:pension was voted to the two nieces who lived with him.
