The widely held view of Constantine I as a "German sympathizer" though essentially accurate owes something to Allied and Venizelist war-time anger directed against the King. Constantine did rebuff Kaiser Wilhelm who in 1914 pressed him to bring Greece into the war on the side of Austria and Germany. Constantine then offended the British and French by blocking popular efforts by Prime Minister Venizelos to bring Greece into the war on the side of the Allies. Constantine's insistence on neutrality, however, was based more on his judgement that it was the best policy for Greece, rather than venal self-interest or his German dynastic connections.
Admiral Mark Kerr, who was Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Hellenic Navy in the early part of World War I and later Commander-in-Chief of the British Adriatic Squadron supported the Allied cause, but was sympathetic to the King, personally. He wrote in 1920:
"The persecution of King Constantine by the press of the Allied countries, with some few good exceptions, has been one of the most tragic affairs since the Dreyfus case." [Abbott, G.F. (1922) 'Greece and the Allies 1914–1922']
Although Venizelos, with Allied support, forced Constantine from the Greek throne in 1917 he remained popular with parts of the Greek people, as shown by the vote for his return in the December 1920 plebiscite.In the aftermath of the victorious Balkan Wars, Greece was in a state of euphoria. Her territory and population had doubled with the massive liberation of Greeks from Turkish rule and, under the dual leadership of Constantine and Venizelos, her future seemed bright. This state of affairs was not to last, however. When World War I broke out, Constantine was faced with the difficulty of determining where Greece's support lay. His first concern as King was for the welfare and security of Greece. He rejected the early appeal from Kaiser Wilhelm that Greece should march on the side of Germany and stated that Greece would remain neutral.

＞The widely held view of Constantine I as a "German sympathizer" though essentially accurate owes something to Allied and Venizelist war-time anger directed against the King*. Constantine did rebuff Kaiser Wilhelm who in 1914 pressed him to bring Greece into the war on the side of Austria and Germany.
⇒コンスタンティンI世を「ドイツへの共鳴者」として見る見方が広く抱かれたのは、本質的には連合国やベニゼリスト（ベニゼロス派）の戦時の怒りに負っているが、それが国王に対する反感となった*。（しかし）コンスタンティンは、1914年にオーストリア・ドイツの側に立ってギリシャが参戦するように迫ったカイゼル・ウィルヘルムをはねつけた。

⇒それからコンスタンティンは、連合国の側に立った参戦にギリシャを引き込もうとするベニゼロス首相の民衆的努力を妨害することで、イギリスやフランスの気分を害した。しかし、コンスタンティンの中立の主張は、それがギリシャにとって、金目的の利己心やドイツ王朝との接続よりもむしろ、最高の方針であるとの彼の判断に基づいていた。

⇒「連合国の報道関係者によるコンスタンティン王の迫害は、良い例外が少しあるものの、ドレフュス事件以降で最も悲劇的な事件の1つでした。」 ［G.F.アボット(1922)の『ギリシャと連合国1914–1922年』より］。

⇒バルカン戦争勝利の余波の中で、ギリシャは幸福感の状態にあった。トルコの支配からギリシャの大解放とコンスタンティン・ベニゼロスの二重権力の下で、その領土と人口は倍加し、将来は明るく見えた。しかしこの状況は、長くは続きそうもなかった。

He rejected the early appeal from Kaiser Wilhelm that Greece should march on the side of Germany and stated that Greece would remain neutral.
⇒第一次世界大戦が起こったとき、コンスタンティンはギリシャの支持をどこに決定するかということの困難な問題に直面した。国王としての彼の最初の懸念は、ギリシャの福祉と安全のためであった。彼は、ギリシャがドイツの側に立って進むべきとするカイゼル・ウィルヘルムの初期からの訴えを拒絶して、ギリシャは中立のままで行くことを言明した。
