Balkan Crisis and The Treaty of Berlin: 1878

The Balkan crisis concluded by the Berlin Treaty of 1878 represents a milestone in both European and Balkan history.

This in turn meant the renewal and intensification of the Austro- Russian rivalry in the Balkans which started with the Crimean War. It also meant the re-emergence of Britain as an active force in European affairs after years of splendid isolation under Gladstone.
