Facts On Serbia And Montenegro
The decline of the Ottoman Empire, the old sick man of Europe,
The Eastern question is the collective term for the issues raised in Southeast Europe the weakness of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the rivalry of their successors. In the heyday of the Ottoman Empire stretched from the Persian Gulf at the gates of Vienna in Austria, but in 1870 was known as the "sick man of Europe". The reasons for degradation can be attributed to slippage of the Turkish army in total decay, the delay of the economy Turkish and nature corrupt and inefficient administrative system of Turkey. Basically, the Ottoman Empire had kept all intensive purposes of the medieval state. These difficulties have been compounded by the rise of nationalism in the Balkans. This issue also had the effect of the involvement of major powers in the region In their rivalry in the Balkans has led to a series of conflicts in the nineteenth century and has contributed significantly to the epidemic WWI. Russia is considered as the protectors Slavic peoples of southeastern Europe, the Austrians wanted to annex land and too slow nationalism in the Balkans, the fear that spread to his own empire and Great Britain is wary of Russia's attempts to control the Dardanelles, for fear of their way to India are in danger and therefore support for Turkey against encroachments Russia. In 1875, the problems started in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a province in the Balkans in the Turkish Empire. Gentlemen Muslims were mistreated their leading Christian peasants to mass disturbances. Fearing a drop in full-scale war, the Foreign Minister of Austria Andrássy sent a note to the sultan demanding a series reforms in the Balkans. All authorities have signed the Andrassy note, but the Turks decided to ignore it and continued to suppress political unrest in 1876 was spread to Bulgaria. Serbia and Montenegro decided to use the situation to attack Turkey with the hope of acquiring territory.
The great powers been meeting in Berlin, the development of a memorandum that reiterated their initial demands and threatened action if improvements are not released. However, due to fears of British intentions of Russia have refused to sign the Memorandum of Berlin, who encouraged the Turks to increase its repressive measures. But the Turks pushed the boat too far in one of its irregular armies, bashibazouks massacres in Bulgaria, the British withdrew their support. Russia has broken out and took it, first attacking Turks and sweeping everything in its path before they take on Plevna. Sympathy in Britain, won for the Turks and for a time, a conflict between Russia and Britain seemed cards, but the Russians and Turks sued for peace, the Treaty of San Stefano. The Treaty of San Stefano had created the autonomous state of Bulgaria, confirmed the independence Romania, Serbia and Montenegro and granted territorial gains in Serbia and Montenegro. Great Britain saw their suspicions as evidenced by the existence of Bulgaria that he said prove to be a Russian satellite. Great Britain with the support of Austria is the pressure on Russia to accept the treaty in question Congress of Berlin in 1878. Chaired by Bismarck decided that Bulgaria was to separate the pieces of his return to Turkey, Britain annexed Cyprus, Russia annexed Bessarabia and South America and Austria occupied and administered Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Congress proved decisive because it marks the beginning of a resurgence of nationalism in the Balkans and the beginning of the movement of the division of Europe into two camps.
However, the Bulgarians have proven to be anti-Russian and contrary to the fears of those countries Britain does not become a satellite of Russia. In fact, they took part closest to Britain and France, pending supplies that Russia would invade to redress the wrong, but this was prevented by the dual alliance who said the Germans come to the aid of the Austrians that they were safe that is offended by any act of war of Russia against Bulgaria. The crisis has also resulted in the creation of ties with Russia, France, to avoid complete isolation. This had the effect of reinforcing the division between the two camps, even if Britain remained without compromise in 1888 and began to drift in Turkey, creating real links with Russia. Britain no longer need to worry about Russia to interfere with their trade route to India, where Cyprus occupied Egypt in 1882 and 1878. Germany began to ally with Turkey, the alliance was strengthened by the increase of the Young Turks 1908. The Young Turks attempted to regain control of the Turks in the Balkans has been Austria to annex Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia, Russia, upset in the process. The Serbs, because he believes that Bosnia-Herzegovina has been essentially a Slavic province and should be incorporated in your state. Terrorist activity has increased, culminating in the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, the final straw that led directly to the First World War. Nationalism strident of the Young Turks movement, and its continued repression of other nationalities in their empire, led to the creation of the Balkan League, a coalition Forming in Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria and Montenegro. In 1912, the League has challenged and immediate victories against the Turkish army, driving almost entirely outside Turkey Europe, leaving part of Constantinople and Thrace under their control. However, the League turned against them because of conflicts over who deserved by the "sick man in Europe. "During the First World War, Turkey and Bulgaira side of the Alliance, under the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), Turkey ceded all rights to the lands of the former Turkish Ottoman Empire, ending the problem of the East.
