After the liberation of Greece and the establishment of the Greek State, the Ionian islands claimed their unification with Greece. Despite its strong objection, Britain together with France and Russia signed on June 5 1863, in London, the Treaty according to which Britain gave up its role as the power protecting the Ionian Islands. On May 21st 1864 the unification of the Ionian Islands with Greece became official.
