Bulgarian Crisis (1885 - 1888)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1]
