He Invaded a Country Over a Dog — Then Lost Everything

Theodoros Pangalos thought he was untouchable. He had staged a coup, declared himself dictator of Greece, and ordered a full military invasion of Bulgaria — all within a year. Then a stray dog started a war he couldn't win, and everything unraveled spectacularly.

This video covers the final act of one of history's most chaotic political rises and falls. After Greece's humiliating forced withdrawal from Bulgaria — ordered by the League of Nations, who fined Athens 50 million francs — Pangalos's grip on power crumbled almost immediately. His own generals turned on him, the public was furious, and within months he was out.

It's the story of what happens when an impulsive dictator overplays his hand on the world stage — and gets publicly spanked by an international body for it. A cautionary tale told with the absurdity it deserves.
