1888 CE to 1899 CE

Unrest in Eastern Rumelia had led the European powers to insist on the union of that province with Bulgaria in 1885.

Meanwhile, Greek and Bulgarian partisans are carrying on a running battle with Ottoman forces in Macedonia.

In addition, the repression of revolutionary activities in Armenia during 1894-96 costs about three hundred thousand lives and arouses European public opinion against the Ottoman regime.

Outside support for a rebellion on Crete also causes the Porte to declare war on Greece in 1897.

Although the Ottoman army defeats the Greeks decisively in Thrace, the European powers force a compromise peace that keeps Crete under Ottoman suzerainty while installing the son of the Greek king as its governor.
