Abstract

In 1863 Prince William of Denmark was elected king of Greece by the National Assembly (18/30 March) and ascended the throne as King George I under the guarantee of France, Great Britain and Russia. A Constituent Assembly was elected in Dec. and on 29 Oct. 1864 passed a constitution. The area of the 10 nomoi of Greece was 18,244 sq. miles, the population 1,096,810 (census 1861); in 1864 Great Britain ceded the Ionian Islands (1,096 sq. miles, 235,698 inhabitants).
