Steamship tonnage under Greek ownership has risen…
1895 CE
Steamship tonnage under Greek ownership has risen by a factor of about sixteen since 1875, and by 1900 the steam horsepower of Greek plants will have increased by over two hundred and fifty percent.
Industrialization, especially textile production, has also developed under the paternal eye of Charilaos Trikoupi's government.
Trikoupis has emphasized expansion of Greece's export sector and its chief support—the transportation network and agricultural cultivation.
Greece makes plans for the 1896 Summer Olympics during Trikoupis’s seventh term, from November 11, 1893, until January 24, 1895.
Trikoupis, skeptical about the games for fear that the country cannot bear the burden of the cost, is persuaded to host them, however, and makes the needed arrangements.
In poor health and poor personal finances, he withdraws from politics.
