The '''Τreaty of Constantinople''' was the product of the Constantinople Conference which opened in February [[1832]] with the participation of the Great Powers (the United Kingdom, France and Russia) on the one hand and the Ottoman Empire on the other. The factors which shaped the treaty included the refusal of Léopold King of Belgium to assume the [[Greece|Greek]] throne. He ''inter alia'' was not at all satisfied with the Aspropotamos-Zitouni borderline, which replaced the more favorable [[Arta]] - [[Volos]] line considered by the Great Powers earlier.

The withdrawal of Léopold as a candidate for the throne of Greece, and the July Revolution in France, delayed the final settlement of the frontiers of the new kingdom until a new government was formed in the United Kingdom. Lord Palmerston, who took over as British Foreign Secretary, agreed to the Arta - Volos borderline. However, the secret note on [[Crete]], which the Bavarian plenipotentiary communicated to the Courts of the United Kingdom, France and Russia, bore no fruit.

Under the protocol signed on [[May 7]], [[1832]] between Bavaria and the protecting Powers, and basically dealing with the way in which the Regency was to be managed until [[King Otto|Otto]] reached his majority (while also concluding the second Greek loan, for a sum of £2,400,000 sterling), Greece was defined as an independent kingdom, with the Arta-Volos line as its northern frontier. The Ottoman Empire was indemnified in the sum of 40,000,000 piastres for the loss of the territory. The borders of the Kingdom were reiterated in the London Protocol of [[August 30]], [[1832]] signed by the Great Powers, which ratified the terms of the Constantinople Arrangement in connection with the border between Greece and the Ottoman Empire and marked the end of the Greek [[War of Independence]] creating modern Greece as an independent state free of the Ottoman Empire.
