Round 13: Tossup 19

Anarchists known as the “Boatmen” of a city in this modern-day country carried out a 1903 bombing campaign. The Pallis Report detailed the effects of a 1917 fire in this country’s second-largest city that displaced over half its Jewish population. Alexander Schinas (“skee-NAHS”) was defenestrated (10[1])six weeks after assassinating a king of this country, whose successor sparked the National Schism. Refugees fleeing to this country were crowded onto a quay (“kee”) during a fire in the “Smyrna catastrophe.” Fridtjof (“FRED-yawv”) Nansen oversaw a 1923 population exchange between this country and its eastern neighbor, which was agreed to by its former prime minister Eleftherios Venizelos. For 10 points, name this country that during World War I was led by competing governments in Thessaloniki and Athens. ■END■
