In April 1877, two Russian armies invaded the Ottoman empire. The focus of the war became the siege of Plevna in Bulgaria. The strong resistance there gave the Turks real hope for a final victory, or at least holding off the enemy and forcing a more favourable diplomatic solution.  www.patreon.com/historyeurope www.historyeurope.net Music composed by Rimsky-Korsakov: Polonaise, and Russian Easter Festival Overture Picture - The defeat of Shipka_Peak, Bulgarian War of Independence Hosted on Acast.
