1878 ; and on the 3.-d March a Treaty of Peaee between R„s sl a an ,
J nrkej was s.gned at San Stefano. The chief terms of the S ettl PmPn
were the complete severance of Ronman.a, Servia and Montenegro f J
Oman 'mpiro; the creation of an autonomous Bulgaria, still
tributary to Turkey, but reaching from the Enxine to the ^gean' and
tho payment of a war indemnity.
A critical period followed, during which a Russian army remained
encamped outside Constantinople, while certain of the powers manifested
heir dissat.sfaction with the terms of the treaty as being too favourable
"ssia- - n is fleet was sent to the Bosphorus, and in the United
Kingdom the military reserves were called ont. At length Russia, in-
uenced partly by a fear that Austria might fall upon her line of com-
munica ions m flank, agreed to a revision of the Treaty of San Stefano ;
"" ♦t, ToTt iT a " I " tt,7 ' ational Congress which assembled at Berlin
on the 13th July 1878. Meanwhile on the 4th Juneau agreement had
been concluded between Britain and Turkey, whereby the former power
undei took subject to conditions-to defend the Asiatic dominions of the

yprus. The Treaty of Berlin signed on the ISth July 1878, which
was the outcome of the Congress, modified the terms of the Treat- of San
Stefano in favour of Turkey. Roumania, Servia and Montenegro received
eir independence, and a war indemnity of 300,000,000 roubles was as
signed to Russia; but the new autonomous and tributary Bulgaria was
confined to the north of the Balkans, some more southern districts which
by the Ireaty of San Stefano would have been included in Bulgaria being
constituted instead a separate autonomous and tributary principality
under the name of Eastern Roumelia.
Some interchange of communications seems to have taken place in
187 between the Sultan of Turkey and the Amir of Afghanistan. The
ormer sovereign seems to have appealed to the latter for help against
e ussians, advising him incidentally to disregard the occupation of
Quetta by the Government of India and to cultivate good relations with
e ntib . Ihe Amir is stated to have replied that he could afford
no aid and somewhat ironically to have referred the Sultan to the
Government for the assistance of which he stood in need.
The Turkish constitution of 1876 ended abortively. It was soon
suspended; a Parliament convened under it was dissolved; and its
