Summary/Abstract: The cruelty of the Ottoman authorities during the suppression of the Ilinden Uprising caused revolt and protests of the European public opinion, especially of the British public opinion. Because of that and because of the existing danger from a Bulgarian – Ottoman war, an opportunity for the Great Powers to take action was created that involved new reform suggestions which ultimately ended with the Murzsteg Reform Program. Great Britain also had its own suggestions, such as a Christian governor who would not have been connected with any of the countries that signed the Berlin Agreement, or a Muslim governor aided by European assistants. The financial and judicial aspects of the Murzsteg Reform Program were also important for the British foreign policy and some of their suggestions were ultimately implemented.
