Constantinople Conference
Multi-lateral diplomatic meeting regarding Bosnia (1876–77) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1876–77 Constantinople Conference (Turkish: Tersane Konferansı "Shipyard Conference", after the venue Tersane Sarayı "Shipyard Palace") of the Great Powers (Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia) was held in Constantinople (now Istanbul)[1] from 23 December 1876 until 20 January 1877. Following the beginning of the Herzegovinian Uprising in 1875 and the April Uprising in April 1876, the Great Powers agreed on a project for political reforms in Bosnia and in the Ottoman territories with a majority-Bulgarian population.[2] The Ottoman Empire refused the proposed reforms, leading to the Russo-Turkish War a few months later.
