Recognising Balkan States
A treaty was drawn up in June and July 1878 at the Congress of Berlin to address the national desires of those in the Balkans, but the solution presented as many problems as it solved. The treaty from the Congress of Berlin established Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria as independent nations and gave Montenegro to Greece. At the same time, the treaty gave Austria-Hungary control of Bosnia and Herzegovina and what later became Serbia. None of the new Balkan states were satisfied with the amount of territory they were given.
