In 1801Aberdeen's grandfather died and the young man succeeded to the Earldom at the age of 17.
Aberdeen sympathised with the Greeks and wanted to help them; the Conference of London in February 1830 appeared to have settled the matter by granting autonomy to the Greeks; unfortunately, the Greeks wanted independence and were not satisfied with the settlement.
Aberdeen proved to be inept in handling the conduct of the war and in January 1855 John Arthur Roebuck, MP for Sheffield proposed a Committee of Inquiry to investigate the conduct of the war.
