Chcainiges ta The
flap of Emiropeo
War and Its Results
Long Reign.
Perhaps1, pays tho Philadelphia,
Times, nothing Is more sUBgestlvo ot
tho enormous changes which havo tak
en place- during tho ulxty years of
Queen Victoria') reign, than a glance
at the map of Europe as It was In
1837 and ua It la today. When Vic
toria micceeded to the throne Turkey
was being hard pressed by the Egyp
tians under Mohammed All. Domestic
affairs h'indered England for a time
from assisting either side, but In 1811
a British fleet sailed for tho Levant
and captured Acre. By the terms of
the peaco which followed, Mohammed
All was confined to Ills Egyptian pos
sessions, under tho suzerainty of tho
sultan, and the Integrity and Inde
pendence ot the Turkish empire was
placed Under the guarantee of tho great
powers. Thus Turkey was for the first
tlmo placed In a state of tutelage.
Tho first ch'ango on tho map came
about In 1816, when, its a sequel of tho
revolt of the peasants In Gallcla, the
Republic of Cracow, tho last remain
ing fragment of free Poland, was an
nexed to Austria, In tho following
year a rebellion In Hungary was caus
ed by tho attempt of the Austrian
emperor to raise money by taxing tho
Hungarians without the consent of the
diet. Tho Hungarians, under the lead
ership of Kossuth, would have tri
umphed but for the Intervention of
Russia, by whose aid Austria, finally
succeeded In quelling tho Insurrection
nnd holding the country In subjection
until 1SC6, when It was Joined to Aus
tria as a separato state, under a com
mon sovereign Francis Joseph. About
the same time (1S4S), Impelled prob
ably by the revolution In France, an
Insurrectionary movement broke out
all over Italy, at that time composed
of a number of small principalities.
Rome nnd Venice proclaimed them
selves commonwealths, and Charles
Albert, king of Sardinia, attempted to
drive the Austrlans out of Lombordy
and Venetla. Milan was taken nnd
Lombardy occupied, but operations
were not so successful In Venetla.
After a series of reverses culminating
In the disastrous hattle of Novara,
Charles Albert was forced to sue for
peace from to Austrian General Rad
lt7ky. CRIMEAN WAR.
After a period of elgh years' tran
quility the aggressive policy of Russia,
coupled with tlie vacillation of the
English government, under Lord John
Russell, led to the Crimean war. Tho
Czar of Russia had put forward a
claim to a protectorate over all the
Christians of the Greek church In tho
sultan's dominions, numbering up
wards of fifteen millions, a claim which
neither Franco nor England proposed
to allow, but the Russians believing
that their opposition would not go so
far as aimed Intervention, emphasized
th'elr claim by destroying the Turkish
fleet nt Slnope. The Turks were to
tally unpiepared for hostilities, and
out of forty-five hundred men com
posing the crews of their ships, only
four hundred escaped, most of them
badly wounded.
Immediately following this one-sided
engagement, Lord Palmorstor. rejoined
the British cabinet and England and
France together called a halt on Rus
sian aggression. The war which fol
lowed was confined almost exclusively
to the neck of land in the Black Sea
known as the Crimea. Tho campaign
was remarkable chiefly for tho display
of bravery by the attacking forces and
the miserable breakdown of the British
commlfcsarlat. At Its conclusion In
March, 1856, under the terms of the
treaty of Paris, was forced to yield
that part of Bessarabia which gave her
control of the northern mouth of the
Danube, nnd she undertook not to re
new the fortification of the Aland Isles.
Tho Roumanian principalities. Mol
davia and Wallachla, were at the same
time made Into a single and practically
an Independent principality, the Black
Soa was closed to tho war vessels of
all nations and the Independence and
territorial Integrity of tho Ottoman
Empire was guaranteed by all the sig
natories to the treaty.
SARDINIAN WAR.
In 1839 the advances which the King
dom of Sardinia had been making to
ward civil and religious liberty en
couraged the Austrian dominions in
Italy to take steps in the same direc
tion. The Emperor of Austria In alarm
sent an army of 200,000 men Into Sar
dinia, but the Sardinians, with the aid
of the French, defeated the Austrlans
In every battle and drove them out of
Piedmont and Lombardy. After the
battles of Solferlno and Magenta the
Austrlans would have been forced to
retire from Venetla, but for the Inter
vention of Russia, Prussia and Eng
land, who dictated tho treaty of Vll
lafranca and forced It upon the con
testants. By this treaty Sardinia acquired
Lombardy, together with the Duchies
of Tuscany, Parma and Modina, whlls
Austria retained Venetla. It was only,
however, for a short time, for In "the
war between Austria and Prussia,
which took place In 1861, the Sardin
ians seized the occasion to make
friends with Prussia, and with their
assistance obtained the long coveted
prize. The acquisition of Venetla prac
tically completed the unification of
Italy, for every part of It except Romo
where the Franch troops kept the
Pope In power now acknowledged Vic
tor Emmanuel as King. In return for
the timely assistance afforded by the
French, Nlzza and Savoy, belonging
to Sardinia, were transferred to their
dominions.
In 1803 tho Ionian Islands, which
slnco 1814 had been a Republican con
federation; under tho protectorate of
Great Britain, were voluntarily sur
rendered by that country and Incor
porated with Greece.
SEVEN WEEKS' WAR.
In 1866 came tho short, sharp strug
gle between Prussia and Austria known
as the seven weeks' war. It arose out
of a quarrel over the division of the
two duchies of Schleswlg-Holstein,
which Prussia and Austria together
had wrested from Denmark in 1865,
and which Prussia sought to retain
for herself. Tho Italians wero easily
persauded by the Prussians to attack
the Austrian In Venetla, They wero
beaten back, however, but tho Aus
trlans, to save themselves tho trouble
of defending it, surrendered the pro
vince to France; which country Imme
diately turned It over to Italy. Mean
while the Prussians armed with the
breechloadlng needle gun, which en
abled them to flro three shots to their
opponents' one, Inflicted a crushing de
feat on 'tho Austrlans at Sadowa, nnd
within forty days had placed 100,000
of the enemy horn da combat.
At tho conclusion of the war, by tho
During Queen Victoria's
terms of the peace of tho Prague,
Prussia nearly doubled her territory
and population hy tho acquisition of
the two duchies of Schleswlg-Holstein.
the Kingdom of Hanover, the King
dom of Saxony, tho Dukedom of Bux
ony, large parts of Bohemia, Austrian
iSllcsIa nnd Bavaria, with many minor
dukedoms and principalities, besides
both banks of tho Rhine.
A complete change was at tho same
tlmo effected In tho constitution of the
German states. From 1815 to 1818 there
had been n loose confederation existing
mainly for tho purpose of a common
customs union. In 1818 a fruitless at
tempt had been made to draw Geimany
more closely together under a common
emperor, but now the Germanic con
federation or Bund was dissolved, the
states north of the river Main wero
formed into n Northern Federation
(North Bund) at the head of which
stood Prussia, and those south of tho
fiver constituted South Germany.
FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR.
In 1870 Prince Leopold, of Hohenzol
lern .was a candidate for tho vacant
throne of Spain. The French emperor
affecting to fear a danger from what he
declared would too greatly increase his
neighbor's power, but in reality usged
thereto by the empress as a means of
quieting Internal dissensions in France,
declared war against Prussia. The his
tory of that mighty struggle Is too
fresh In men's minds to need repeat
ing. It was practically ended on the
surendcr of the French emperor at
Sedam with 83,000 men. B.00 officers, C53
cannons and C,000 horses. Peace was
concluded in March, 1871, after Paris
had fallen, and under the terms of the
agreement France surendered all of the
province of Alsace and one-fifth of Lor
raine, together with the fortress of
Metz, besides agreeing to pay a war
Indemnity of one thousand million dol
lars. The success of tho German arms
led the dcodIc of North and South
Germany to Join fortunes, and at the
instances of the two glvernments Wil
liam I., king of Prussia, was crowned
emperor of Germany at Vercallles on
January 1, 1871.
One Immediate result of the French
defeat was the final and complete uni
fication of Italy. The troop that had
so long guarded Rome had to be with
drawn to meet tho pressing exigencies
of home affairs. Relieved from French
domination tho soldiers of Victor Em
manuel entered the Eternal City, and
In the following year Rome became at
last the capital of a united nation.
RUSSO-TURKISH WAR.
The war which on the whole
hna produced the greatest changes
on the European map Is undoubt
edly the Russo-Turklsh war of 1S77.
An Insurrection which broke out In
Bosnia and Herzegovina against the
Turkish rule In 1875 spread rapidly
among the neighboring states of Ser
vla and Montenegro, assisted so the
Turks said by the Russian govern
ment. War was declared against Tur
key by Servla, but the little state was
no match' for her opponent, and her
regiments, largely officered by Russian
volunteers, wero speedily defeated.
The Insurrection next broke out In
Bulgaria. To quell this, the Turks,
besides sending their regular troops,
let loose an Irregular force of Bashl
Bazouks, who committed the most
frlghtfu atrocities upon the helpless
people. All Europe rang with Indig
nation and Russia seized the oppor
tunity to commence the campaign for
which she had been long preparing.
War was declared by Russia on
April 24, 1877. Two months later an
army crossed the Danube and moved
toward the Balkans, while at the name
time another force Invaded Asia Min
or. For a time It seemed as If tho
whole affair was to be a sort of mili
tary parade for the Russian troops,
but when Osman Pasha threw up de
fenses at Plevna, In Bulgaria, and
twice hurled the Russians back despite
their enormous superloilty In numbers,
the complexion of affairs was altered
for awhile. In November the almost
Impregnable fortress of Kars, In Asia
Minor, was carried by assault, and
on tho 18th of December, after a mag
nificent resistance for five months and
a final attempt to break through 'the
surrounding force?, the Turks In Plev
na surrendoied. Tho road to Constan
tinople was now practically open and
tho Russians commenced to close in.
Public opinion In England was deeply
stirred. A song with tho refrain:
We don't want to light, but by Jingo If
wo do
Wo'vo got the ships, we've so- the men,
We've got the money, too.
Wo'vo fought the bear before, and we'll
fight- him once again.
For the Rurslans shall not have'Constan
tlnoplp caught the fancy of the masses, nnd
was sung night after night at the
various music halls to the wildest
cheering, the audience joining In the
chorus. It was thlr song which gave
rise to th'e term "jingo," bestowed by
the liberals, under the leadership of
Mr. Gladstone, upon the supporters
of Lord Beaconfleld's government.
Meanwhile an armistice and nn agree
ment containing a basis of peace had
been forced upon the Turks at Adrian
ople, perfected later by tho famous
treaty of San Stephano. Shortly after
a rumor reached London that notwith
standing this agreement the Russians
were still marching on towards Con
stantinople. Again there was a period
of Intense cxclte-t"nj. The British
fleet was sent throUgH trie Dardanelles
and anchored a few miles below Con
stantinople, the army reserve was call
ed out and a contingent of Indian
troops huriledly summoned to occupy
the Island of Cyprus. Lord Beacon
field declared that tho treaty of San
Stephano would put tho whole south
east of Europe under Russian Influ
ence and flatly refused to recognize It.
Prince Bismarck now Interposed by Is
suing invitations for a congress of the
povrs, to meet nt Berlin In June,
which finally resulted in tho abroga
tion of the treaty of San Stephano and
the substitution in Ita stead of the
treaty of Berlin. By this treaty tho
Turkish empire lost nearly three-quarter
If Its European territory, Servla,
Montenegro and Roumanla wero de
clared Independent statca Bulgaria,
noith of the Balkans was made a self
governing state, tributary to tho buI
tan and owning his suzerainty, hut In
other respects independent South of
the Balkans It received tho name of
Eustern Rownella, remaining under
tho po Itlcal und military authority of
the sultan, hut Inning nn administra
tive autonomy und a Christian gover
nor, though now, do facto, part of
Bulgaria. Thesaly and a portion of
Eplrus was apportioned to Greece.
Bosnia and Herzegovina were to be
occupied and administered by Austria.
Ilussla h'orself received that part of
Roumanla known as Bessarabia lo&t
by her In the Crimean war, giving ill
exchange soma Islands forming the del
ta of tho Danubo and a. portion of tho
Dobrudccha, She also obtained the
Important fortress of Kars and tho port
of Bfttoum, on tho Black Sea. Tho
Island of Cyprus was given to Eng
land In exchange, for a yearly tribute
to bo paid to the sultan.
As a result of tho Berlin congress
230,000 squaro miles of Turkish terri
tory in Europe, with e. populntlon of
nearly twenty millions, were reduced to
66,000 miles, with a population ot only
four and a half millions.
OTHER CHANGES.
Other changes on tho map of Europe
havo been made by tho expansion of
the eastern boundary ot Russia. Under
color of defending her borders from
the raids of Tartar hordes vast tracts
have been added to the Russian domin
ions or brought under Russian control.
In 1844 a foothold was obtained In
Turkestan by tho submission of the
Kirghiz. To protect these new subjects
war was mBde In 1853 against the
Khanate of Kholand and an Important
fortress taken. In 1860 tho country it
the Khokand Tartars were annexed.
Four years Inter Turkestan was In
vaded by two army corps simultane
ously from tho north and west. The
Important city ot Tchemkend was tak
en by assault and In the following
year Tashkend with Its 100,000 Inhab
itants surrendered. In 1868 the Emlr
of Bokhara ceded the Khanate of S.a
marcande to tho Russians and tho
whole of Bokhara would have been an
nexed hut for the fear of exciting dis
trust In Europe by such Immense con
quests. Khokand was reduced to the
position of a vassal state and a Rus
sian protege placed on the throne.
These conquests, however, stretching
as they do far Into Asia, are not fairly
within the province of an article treat
ing only of European changes. Were
we to consider all the war3 and up
risings which have taken place In the
three score years of Victoria's reign we
should find that scarcely any country
In tho world had escaped the appeal to
nrms. India, China, Japan, Afghanis
tan and Burmah In Asia have all had
their shai e of fighting. In Africa there
have been wars with the Abysslnlans,
the Zulus, the Boers, the Matabeles,
the Soudanese, besides lesser sklrm
inhe with the tribes along tho Gulf
Coast and tho Moors In Algeria
In South America there ha been
flhtlng in Brazil. Chill, Peru and Mex
ico, while the civil war In the U'dted
States Is responsible for the d"U of
600.000 men. It Is Improbable tnat the
war between Greece und TurkfW. wWuU
Is now drawing to a close Will bung
