| - The history of the modern empire starts around the 1950s and the Third Balkan War. After the war, the Dardanelles Territory came under multiple-nations rule. Turkey and Greece began to form an economic and military alliance. With the death of Greek King George II, his son Paul came to the throne and was in favor of unification. In 1963, a Free-trade agreement was adopted, and open borders were instituted. Paul died in 1964 and was succeded by his son King Constantine of Greco-Turkey In 1966, the Greco-Turkish Lira was adopted as their new currencies, replacing the Turkish Lira and the Greek Drachma. In 1968 talks for unification begin and go on for several years. In 1970 the talks were finally concluded. On April 13, 1971 (Unification Day) the countries were united politically. The new capital was to be Athens, and they would continue to use the Lira. In 1972, they were one of the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement of nations. Since then, they have not been involved in major military conflicts. In 1986 a military coup deposed Constantine and established a republic. Since then many politicians have been working to eventually re-introduce the monarchy, as a constitutional one, and a referendum in 2011 showed 64% support for its return. In June of 2011 the government voted overwhelmingly in favor of Princess Ioanna of Greco-Turkey to become the queen alongside her husband Eric Mehmed Ziyaeddin.
