Historical background
GREECE - KINGDOM OF GREECE – OTTO
(1832-1862)
Otto I of Wittelbasch (06/1/1815-07/26/1867) was the youngest son of Ludwig I of Bavaria (1825-1848). The London Protocol had guaranteed the independence of Greece and the Treaty of Munich, of May 7, 1832, gave the throne to Otho I. Badly surrounded, badly advised, Germanophile, Otho ends up alienating the Greeks. At the end of the Crimean War, at the Treaty of Paris in 1856, he was clumsy and did not ask for territorial compensation for Greece. He abdicated in 1862.
