I Cannot Read Russian, So The Only Thing I Can Really Say About This Card Is The Condition And View. The Card Appears To Be A Battlefield Artist's Drawing. Russo-Turkish Wars IV. THE WAR OF 1877-1878 Russo-Turkish Wars In 1875 and 1876 a general uprising of Balkan peoples against the Ottoman Turkish empire aroused widespread sympathy in Russia. Tsar Alexander II at first resisted involvement, fearing unfavorable European reaction, but he declared war on Turkey in January 1877 after diplomatic efforts to end the crisis failed. The campaign in the Caucasus advanced smoothly and that in the Balkans proved unexpectedly bloody and difficult, but by January 1878 Russian forces were advancing on Constantinople. The Treaty of San Stefano (1878) granted Russia considerable territory in the Caucasus, Dobruja (or Dobrogea), and the Danube delta; decreed the independence of Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro; and established a large autonomous Bulgarian principality. Britain and Austria-Hungary were opposed to this expansion of Russian influence, and a congress of the European powers meeting in Berlin in June 1878 revised the San Stefano agreement, primarily by reducing the Bulgarian principality and by limiting the Russian role there. Russia fought no more wars with Turkey until 1914, presumably sensing that it was too weak to gain control of the straits in the face of European opposition. In World War I it won the approval of Britain and France for the ultimate annexation of Constantinople and the straits after the war, but military defeat and revolution rendered these hopes vain.
