Abstract:

The Ottoman Empire of 19th. It was in the century in the process of disintegration. The non-Muslim elements in the Ottoman administration, living in the Balkan geography, began to revolt under the influence of nationalist ideas. The Bulgarians gained power in the process with the support of Russia. The Treaty of Ayastefanos, which was signed after the 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War, provides for the establishment of an independent Bulgarian kingdom. On this development that will enable Russia to reach its goal of landing into hot seas through Bulgaria and to establish absolute superiority on the Balkans, major states, including Britain, have intervened and made a new treaty in Berlin. With the Treaty of Berlin the boundaries of the autonomous Bulgarian Princess were shortened and the Eastern Rumelian province was established associated with the Ottoman State. The Bulgarians rebelled in the Philippines to take the region under their sovereignty by weakening the Ottoman influence in Eastern Rumeli. There have been conflicts in the area and the incidents have been overturned by foreign basin. In fact, the U.S. press also tracked the events in the region in all dimensions, and its news and comments were in favour of the Bulgarians. This situation is also important because it is an indicator of U.S. political and economic interest in the Ottoman geography.
