The Russo-Ottoman War (1877 – 1878) in Greek Historiography

Summary/Abstract: This article is a review of the Greek Historiography on the Russo-Ottoman War of 1877 – 1878. The general perception was that of a traumatic conflict very much related to the formation of a ‘Greater Bulgaria’. In the first decades following the Russo-Ottoman War the historiographical trend was shaped by former fighters and politicians trying to justify their position through history. It was only in the last years when some scholarly works critically evaluated the events and the Greek policy towards them.
