1876 CE to 1887 CE

Russia had pursued cautious and intelligent foreign policies after the Crimean War, until nationalist passions and another Balkan crisis almost cause a catastrophic war in the late 1870s.

The 1856 Treaty of Paris concluded at the end of the Crimean War had demilitarized the Black Sea and deprived Russia of southern Bessarabia and a narrow strip of land at the mouth of the Danube River; it had also nullified the 1774 Treaty of Kuchuk-Kainarji by theoretically providing European protection of the Christians living in the Ottoman Empire.

Russian statesmen view Britain and Austria (Austria-Hungary as of 1867) as opposed to revising the Treaty of Paris, and they seek good relations with France, Prussia, and the United States.

Prussia (Germany as of 1871) replaces Britain as Russia's chief banker.
