Априлското въстание и балканските народ
The April Uprising and the Balkan Peoples

Summary/Abstract: The April Uprising of 1876 in Bulgaria was part of the struggle of the Balkan peoples against Turkish domination. The revolutionary forces of these peoples were weak and could not achieve co-operation against the centuries old enslaver. The foreign policy pursued by the governments of the already liberated Balkan countries failed to achieve the necessary interaction. The inability of the leading circles in the Balkan states to make use of the revolutionary uprisings in the countries enslaved by Turkey, combined with the egoistic policy of the European Powers that were not inclined to violate the status quo of the Ottoman Empire, were some of the causes for the failure of the April Uprising and the unsuccessful political and revolutionary stirring in the Bulgarian and the other Balkan peoples in the turbulent years of 1875 and 1876.
