Germany, Great Powers of Europe and Balkan Conference of 1878

Summary/Abstract: This paper is focusing on role and interests of German Reich during the final resolution of Great Eastern Crisis which happened during the Berlin Congress of 1878. Although it doesn’t tends to analyse complexity of events related to this crisis it demonstrates how deep was change in which existing policy of balance among the Eurpoean Great Powers has been replaced by foreign policies driven primarily by national interests – how the “Concert of Great Powers” was replaced by the concept of short-term defense alliances. Paper begins with short pre-history of event prior to San Stefano peace settlement and it gives a review of both international and German interests in this matter as well how the way to the Berlin Congres was actually “paved”. It analyses the conference as instrument of German foreign policy. At the end it asks a question in what way the Berlin conference on the Balkans actually lied a corner stone for the later alliances of states which fought against one another in the Great War.
