The
3 September 1843 Revolution (;
N.S. 13 September), was an uprising by the
Greek Army in Athens, supported by large sections of the people, against the
autocratic rule of King
Otto. The rebels, led by veterans of the
Greek War of Independence, demanded the granting of a constitution and the departure of the
Bavarian officials that dominated the government. The revolution succeeded, ushering the period of constitutional monarchy in Greece.
