Osmanlı İmparatorluğu XIX. yüzyılda dağılma sürecindeydi. Osmanlı idaresindeki, Balkan coğrafyasında yaşayan gayrimüslim unsurlar milliyetçi fikirlerin etkisiyle ayaklanmaya başlamıştı. Bunlardan Bulgarlar, Rusya’nın desteği ile süreç içinde güç kazanmışlardı. 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı sonrasında imzalanan Ayastefanos Antlaşması’na göre bağımsız bir Bulgar Krallığı kurulması öngörülüyordu. Rusya’nın Bulgaristan üzerinden sıcak denizlere inme hedefine ulaşmasını ve Balkanlarda mutlak üstünlük kurmasını sağlayacak bu gelişme üzerine başta İngiltere olmak üzere büyük devletler duruma müdahale etmiş ve Berlin’de yeni bir antlaşma yapılmasını sağlamışlardır. Berlin Antlaşması ile sınırları daraltılmış özerk Bulgar Prensliği kurulmuş ve Osmanlı Devleti’ne bağlı Doğu Rumeli Vilayeti oluşturulmuştur. Bulgarlar, Doğu Rumeli’deki Osmanlı nüfuzunu zayıflatarak bölgeyi hâkimiyetleri altına almak için Filibe’de isyan çıkarmışlardır. Bölgede çatışmalar olmuş ve yaşanan hadiseler yabancı basin tarafindan akip edilmiştir. Nitekim Amerikan basınının da bölgedeki olayları tüm boyutlarıyla takip ettiği, haber ve yorumlarının Bulgarlar lehine olduğu görülmüştür. Bu durum, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin Osmanlı coğrafyasına yönelik siyasi ve ekonomik ilgisinin göstergesi sebebiyle ayrıca önem taşımaktadır.
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.

The Ottoman Empire was in the process of disintegration in the 19th century. The non-Muslim nations living in the Balkan geography under the Ottoman rule began to rebel with the influence of nationalist thoughts. The Bulgarians started to gain power in the process with the support of the Russia and took important steps towards independence. According to the Treaty of San Stefano signed after the Ottoman-Russian War of 1877-1878, it was envisaged to establish a large independent Bulgarian Kingdom. In the face of this development, which would allow Russia to reach its goal of landing on the warm seas through Bulgaria and to have absolute advantage over the Balkans, the Great Powers particularly Britain, intervened and a new treaty was made in Berlin. With the Treaty of Berlin, an Autonomous Bulgarian Principality, whose borders were narrowed was established and the Eastern Rumelia Province under the Ottoman rule was formed. The Bulgarians rebelled in Plovdiv with an attempt to weaken Ottoman influence in Eastern Rumelia in order to put the region under the rule of the Bulgarian Principality. There were conflicts in the region and the events were closely followed by the foreign press. As a matter of fact, it was seen that the events of Eastern Rumelia were followed in all dimensions by the American press and the newspapers mostly include news and comments in favor of the Bulgarians. This is also important that it indicates the political and economic interest of the United States towards the Ottoman geography.
