• After the Treaty of Constantinople in 1832, Geerce gained independence. However, as the Ottoman Empire weakened, the yearning for separate republics increased across the Balkans.

• By 1871, they had accomplished it one by one, but at the same time, imperialism arose, and larger powers such as the British, Russians, French, Germans, and others sought to dominate the region.
