London Protocol (1830)

1830 · 19th century · Part of the Greek War of Independence

The London Protocol of 3 February 1830 was the agreement by which Britain, France and Russia recognised Greece as an independent sovereign state under a hereditary monarch, after the Greek War of Independence. It set a narrow northern frontier, later widened, and left Crete and Samos outside the new kingdom. The throne was eventually given to Otto of Bavaria in 1832.
