Ottoman violations of the autonomy statutes and Cretan aspirations for eventual union with the Kingdom of Greece lead to the Cretan Revolt of 1897–98 and the Greco-Turkish War of 1897.

Despite an Ottoman victory in the war, Crete becomes an autonomous state in 1898 because of intervention in favor of Greece by European powers and is united with Greece after the Balkan Wars.
