1878 saw the Russians
Successful in their anti-Turk campaign
The French were still weak after the Prussian
Defeat, and concern expressed by Britain
Over Russia's success and Ottoman
Decline led to a Bismarck-led conference
In Berlin, which lessened the Russian gain
Reducing the size of the Bulgarians'
Land, still nominally Turk-held. Offence
Was created by that, and Austrians
Being given Bosnia. Serbia blamed
Them for restricting its independence
To a small patch, while Macedonians
And Muslim Albanians had unmet claims
