| | | | 1878: Encyclopedia II - Papal conclave 1878 - Conclave With what many Churchmen believed was the "unstable" and "anti-Catholic" situation in a Rome that was no longer controlled by the Church, some cardinals, notably the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Manning, urged that the conclave be moved outside Rome, perhaps even out of Italy to Spain. However the Camerlengo, Gioachino Cardinal Pecci, advocated otherwise, with an initial vote among cardinals to move to Spain being overturned in a later vote. The conclave finally assembled in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican on 18 February 1878.
Unusually for concl ...

| | | | 1878: Encyclopedia II - Russo-Turkish War 1877–1878 - Course of the War At the start of the war, Russia destroyed all vessels along the Danube and mined the river, thus ensuring it could cross the Danube at any point it wanted. This didn't mean anything to the Turkish command. In June a small Russian unit passed the Danube close to the delta, at Galatz and marched towards Ruse. This made the Turks even more confident that the big Russian force would come right through the middle of the Turkish stronghold.
Then in July the Russians, unobstructed, constructed a bridge across the Danube at Svishtov, and bega ...

| | | | 1878: Encyclopedia II - Russo-Turkish War 1877–1878 - Conclusion: the Powers intervene In February 1878 the Russian army had almost reached Istanbul, but scared the city might fall, the British sent a fleet of battle-ships to intimidate Russia from entering the city. Under pressure from the fleet to negotiate and having suffered enormous losses (by some estimates about 200,000 men) Russia agreed a settlement under the Treaty of San Stefano (Ayastefanos Anlaşması in Turkish) on March 3, by which the Ottoman Empire recognized the independence of Romania, Serbia and Montenegro and autonomy of Bulgaria.
Alarmed by the extension of Russian power into the Balkans, th ...

| | | | 1878: Encyclopedia II - Russo-Turkish War 1877–1878 - Prosecution: the one-eyed and the blind Russia declared war on Turkey on 24 April 1877. Some described this war as "a war between the one-eyed and the blind —", so many errors of strategy and judgment were committed on both sides. This, however, was all too common a problem for contemporaneous warfare, from the Crimean War to the Boer Wars.
In the beginning of the war the outcome was far from obvious. The Russians could raise a larger army, an army of about 200,000 was within their reach. The Turks had about 160,000 troops on the Balkan peninsula. The Turks had the advantage of being fortified, and they a ...
