Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1878 Congress of Berlin was primarily aimed at addressing the issues arising from the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) and the Treaty of San Stefano, which had significantly expanded Russian influence in the Balkans at the expense of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). The Congress of Berlin sought to revise this treaty to reduce Russia's gains, thereby maintaining a balance of power in Europe but at the expense of Turkey by redistributing its territories among the Great Powers and creating new states in the Balkans.
