The Balkan Puzzle IF YOU will look over a map of A Europe you will see three great peninsulas jutting Into the seas that wash the south shores of the continent. The southernmost and farthest east of the three Is known as the Balkan peninsula. It comprises Turkey in Europe, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, eastern Roumella, Rumania and other lesser divisions. Incidentally, that same peninsula has for a thousand years been the hotbed ot revolt, Intrigue and violence. No other district of the same slxe contains so many races, nor so many people who are so widely different in religion, politics, customs and characteristics. This jumble of nationalities dwells side by side, yet never blending. Turk, Greek, Bulgar, Albanian and a half jscore of other peoples Uve shoulder to shoulder, yet each sharply divided from ail the others. The Turk is the bully of the peninsula. The other races spent centuries fighting and Intriguing against each other, but have merged their various difficulties In a common latred against Turkey. The Turks, Wrongest of all Mahomet's followers, became masters of the peninsula in the Thirteenth century, being at that time the foremost military power of the world. Most of the Balkan states are Christian. For this reason, as well as because of the frequent plots and revolts against the sultan's government, ^Turkey has, from time to time, punished her rebellious subjects by Wholesale slaughter and outrage. The Armenian and Macedonian massacres have, at one period and another, aroused the horror of all civilised Countries. In May, 1876, Bulgaria and Herzegovina (then Turkish provinces) ftarted one of the periodical lnsurtections. The peasants of the Batak district of Bulgaria were preparing to rise when suddenly a large Turkish force under Aohmet Agha appeared, furrounded the town of Batak and fommander the natives to yield; promising that not one of them should |e harmed. With a credulity unusual ft) people having experience with the ^Unspeakable Turk," the patriots ibeyed. Then the massacre began. I'he prisoners--men. women and children alike--were slaughtered like Sheep. Some took refuge In a church., tt was burned over their heads. Achmet Agha received a decoration from the sultan for this great killing. At news of the outrage the six great .European powers sent a formal protest to the sultan. Ha had, earlier, promised reforms, bat had disregarded his pledges. Now he gave the envoys no satisfaction whatever. This •. was the chance for which Russia - lb ad waited. Twenty years earlier rkey (backed by England, France 4 Sardinia) had beaten Russia In Crimea. The wound still rankled, la, moreover, had for a long time yearned to absorb her eastern rival t>r to annex as much of the letter's territory as possible. The other nations, however, had no idea of allowthe "balance of power" to be thus Shifted, and Russia had been able to tnd no occasion to promote bar Schemes. Now, under pretext of avenging the Injuries Inflicted On Balkan Christians, the emar dedarsfl war (1877) against Turkey. A Russian army crossed the Danube June 27. On July 18 General Gourko made the difficult passage of the Balkan mountains and advanced '•n Adrianople, but was driven back. In December he recrossed the Balkan range, vanquishing a Turkish army of t2,000 at Shlpka pass (January 9, 1878). Osman Pasha, the sultan's best general, meantime had held his #wn against the invaders and had at length occupied the city of Plevna, tlere he endured for twenty weeks a fiemorable siege against superior •umbers, but was in the end forced Jto surrender. With the fall of Plevna Che Turkish cause weakened. PhilippopolLs and Adrlanopolis were taken, gnd the Russian armies marched nnihecked on to Constantinople. Here, however, with the fruits of Victory within their very grasp, the Conquerors were halted by the powers. The old menace of "destroying the balance of power" seemed about to be fulfilled, and the Russians were forbidden to enter the Turkish capital. By the peace treaty of San Stefano, however, Rumanian Bessarabia and fart of Armenia were ceded to Russia. Bulgaria was made a principality with home rule; Rumania, Serbia $nd Montenegro were declared free countries, and Bosnia and Herzegovina came under Austro-Hungarlan •way. So ended the Ruseo-Turklsh War of 1877-1878. Turkey, far from profiting by her lesson, continued to oppress her Christian provinces. la 1885 massacres of Christians in Armenia. and even In Constantinople, horrified civilization. Christians In Crete revolted, by way of showing their disapproval, and asked Greece to annex their Island. A Greek military *orce was sent to Crete. Turkey at once declared war, thrashed Greece In one brief campaign and wrung from the beaten country a heavy war Indemnity. The Balkan peninsula still teams With plot, covnterplot, intrigue, misrule and discontent The Balkan problem will, perhaps, never ba •Dived.
