Bulgarian Crisis (1885 - 1888)

Bulgarian Crisis (1885 - 1888)

The Bulgarian Crisis refers to an event as part of the Balkan crisis between 1885 and 1888 which saw a conflict between the Germans and the Russians.

In September 1885, a rebellion in Eastern Rumelia saw the people proclaim a union with Bulgaria, which was a violation of the Berlin Treaty of 1878.

A conflict resulted between Alexander Battenberg, the would-be German king for greater Bulgaria, and Alexander III, the Tsar of Russia, who denounced any German claim to the Bulgarian throne. [ [http://www.historyhome.co.uk/europe/bismarck.htm Bismarck’s Foreign Policy 1871-1890 ] ]
