Berlin, Congress of

Congress of the European powers (Russia, Turkey, Austria‐Hungary, the UK, France, Italy, and Germany) held in Berlin in 1878 to determine the boundaries of the Balkan states after the Russo‐Turkish war of 1877–78.

Prime Minister Disraeli attended as the UK's chief envoy, and declared on his return to England that he had brought back ‘peace with honour’.
