You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Alexandros Koryzis''' (((lang-el|Αλέξανδρος Κορυζής)); 1885 – 18 April 1941) was a Greek politician who served briefly as the [[prime minister]] of [[Kingdom of Greece|Greece]] in 1941.

==Career==
Koryzis assumed this role on 29 January 1941, when his predecessor, the dictator [[Ioannis Metaxas]] died of [[throat cancer]], during the [[Greco-Italian War]]. Prior to this, Koryzis had been governor of the [[Bank of Greece]].

Koryzis was born on the small island of [[Poros]] in Greece, where a museum dedicated to his life and contribution exists today.

Prime Minister Metaxas had declined British offers of direct military assistance on the grounds that this could be used as a justification for German intervention in support of their Italian allies. Koryzis however agreed to the dispatch of "W Force" - a British and Dominion force of two infantry divisions and an armoured brigade. 

Although largely powerless, as the government was effectively controlled by [[George II of Greece|King George II]], Koryzis still bore the burden of the [[Battle of Greece|German invasion]] which commenced on 6 April of the same year. Less than two weeks later, on 18 April, as [[Nazi Germany|German]] troops marched towards [[Athens]] and the city was placed under [[martial law]], he [[Suicide|shot himself]].<ref>((cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19410420&id=XgUaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=syIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6211,1631125|title=Thermopylae Stand Expected by Nazis|work=The Milwaukee Star-Journal|location=Milwaukee|page=1|date=20 April 1941|access-date=17 June 2009))((Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref> According to [[Theodore Stephanides]], who was in [[Crete]] at the time, newspapers initially reported that the cause of his death was a [[myocardial infarction|heart attack]],<ref>((cite book |last1=Stephanides |first1=Theodore |title=Climax in Crete |date=1946 |publisher=Faber & Faber |page=11))</ref> probably to avoid causing mass panic in [[Athens]].
