==Background==
[[Greece]] had won its independence from the [[Ottoman Empire]] in the [[Greek War of Independence]] ([[1821]]-[[1829]]1821–1829) with the help of Britain, France and Russia. In the London Protocol of 3 February 3, 1830, the three powers had assigned the borders of the new state. However, when the governor of Greece, [[JohnIoannis CapodistriaKapodistrias]] (Ioannis Kapodistrias) (Καποδíστριας) was assassinated in 1831 in [[Nafplion]], the [[Greek peninsula]] plunged into confusion. The Great Powerspowers sought a formal end of the war and a recognized government in Greece.▼

==Conference of London==
In May, [[1832]], British [[Foreign Secretary]] [[Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston|Palmerston]] convened with French and Russian diplomats, and, without consultation of the Greeks, decided that Greece should be a monarchy. The convention offered the throne to the [[Kingdom of Bavaria|Bavaria]]n Prince, [[Otto of Greece|Otto]]. They also established the line of succession which would pass the crown to Otto's descendants, or his younger brothers should he have no issue. It was also decided that in no case would the crowns of Greece and Bavaria be joined in a [[personal union]]. As co-guarantors of the monarchy, the Great Powerspowers also empowered their ambassadors in [[Constantinople]], the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] capital, to secure the end of the [[Greek War of Independence]].
 
On 21 July 21, 1832 British ambassador Sir [[Stratford Canning, 1st Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe|Stratford Canning]] and the other representatives concluded the [[Treaty of Constantinople (1832)|Treaty of Constantinople]], which set the boundaries of the new [[Kingdom of Greece]] atalong a line running fromthe [[Arta,Arta–Volos Greece|Artaline]] (Αρτα) to [[Volos]] (Βολος).
