Born in Ithaca, Metaxas was a career military officer, first seeing action in the Greco-Turkish War of 1897. Following studies in German Empire, he returned to join the General Staff and was part of the modernizing process of the Greek Army before the Balkan Wars (1912–1913), in which he actively participated. He was appointed as Chief of the Greek General Staff in 1913 and was promoted to General in 1916.
A staunch monarchist, he supported Constantine I and opposed Greek entry into World War I. Eleftherios Venizelos, the prime minister, resigned over the refusal of Metaxas to aid the unsuccessful Dardanelles campaign and used the war as the major issue in the elections. When Venizelos won the March 1915 elections, he mobilised the army, but was dismissed by the king. In June 1917, with Allied support and 60,000 Cretan soldiers, the king was deposed and Venizelos came to power, declaring war on June 29, 1917.
Metaxas followed the king into exile, neither returning until 1920. He opposed the Anatolian Campaign in Asia Minor. When the monarchy was displaced in 1922, Metaxas moved into politics and founded the Freethinkers' Party in 1923. He temporarily left Greece with the fall of the monarchy shortly afterwards, but later returned and served as a minister under the republic in 1928.
