|
Detailed explanation-1: -What congress of European nations in 1878 forced Russia to give up territorial gains in the Balkan region? The Congress of Berlin.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Congress of Berlin in 1878 was a textbook example of two-tier diplomacy characterized by the arrogance of the major powers with regard to the smaller nations and decisions being made over their heads that were to have fateful consequences. The aim of this diplomatic summit conference was to reorganize the Balkans.
Detailed explanation-3: -In acting so, however, the congress left Russia humiliated by substantially reducing the gains that it had made under the San Stefano treaty. Furthermore, the congress failed to consider adequately the aspirations of the Balkan peoples themselves and, thereby, laid the foundation for future crises in the Balkans.
