His courtroom conduct
His fiscal policies
Naval blockades by the British Royal Navy
His inability to speak Greek
Answer
Naval blockades by the British Royal Navy caused Otto's unpopularity among Greeks because they were seen as interfering with Greek independence. The blockades were imposed by the British in order to prevent the Greeks from trading with the Ottoman Empire, which was a British ally. The blockades caused economic hardship for the Greeks and made it difficult for them to import goods from other countries.
