Venizelism (Greek: Βενιζελισμός) was one of the major political movements in Greece beginning from the 1910s. The movement first formed under Eleftherios Venizelos in the 1910s and saw a resurgence of support in the 1960s when Georgios Papandreou united a coalition of old Venizelists and progressive politicians.
The movement was characterized by liberal nationalism and ideas of Greek irredentism supporting the Megali Idea. It had a pro-Western stance from WWI under the Cold War. Venizelism represented the urban classes advocating for liberal democracy against the conservative monarchy, and pursued mixed economic policies from liberal to social democratic ones. The movement had its strongest support in Crete, Thrace, Epirus, the North Aegean islands, and Macedonia.
