A joint ultimatum by the European powers forced the Porte to give Serbia a one-month truce and start peace negotiations. Turkish peace conditions however were refused by European powers as too harsh. In early October, after the truce expired, the Turkish army resumed its offensive and the Serbian position quickly became desperate. On 31 October, Russia issued an ultimatum requiring the Ottoman Empire to stop the hostilities and sign a new truce with Serbia within 48 hours. This was supported by the partial mobilization of the <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Russian_Army" title="Imperial Russian Army">Imperial Russian Army</a> (up to 20 divisions). Sultan <a href="/wiki/Abdul_Hamid_II" title="Abdul Hamid II">Abdul Hamid II</a> accepted the conditions of the ultimatum. </p><p>To resolve the crisis, on 11 December 1876, the <a href="/wiki/Constantinople_Conference" title="Constantinople Conference">Constantinople Conference</a> of the Great Powers was opened in Constantinople (to which Ottoman representatives were not invited). A compromise solution was negotiated, granting autonomy to Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina under the joint control of European powers. The Ottomans, however, refused to sacrifice their independence by allowing international representatives to oversee the institution of reforms and sought to discredit the conference by announcing on 23 December, the day the conference was closed, that a <a href="/wiki/First_Constitutional_Era_(Ottoman_Empire)" class="mw-redirect" title="First Constitutional Era (Ottoman Empire)">constitution</a> was adopted that declared equal rights for religious minorities within the Empire. The Ottomans attempted to use this manoeuver to get their objections and amendments to the agreement heard. When they were rejected by the Great Powers, the Ottoman Empire announced its decision to disregard the results of the conference. </p><p>On 15 January 1877, Russia and Austria-Hungary signed a written agreement confirming the results of the earlier Reichstadt Agreement of July 1876. This assured Russia of the benevolent neutrality of Austria-Hungary in the impending war. These terms meant that in case of war Russia would do the fighting and Austria-Hungary would derive most of the advantage. Russia therefore made a final effort for a peaceful settlement. After reaching an agreement with its main Balkan rival and with anti-Ottoman sympathies running high throughout Europe due to the Bulgarian atrocities and the rejection of the Constantinople agreements, Russia finally felt free to declare war. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Status_of_combatants">Status of combatants</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Russo-Turkish_War_(1877%E2%80%931878)&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Status of combatants"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Ottoman_Army">The Ottoman Army</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Russo-Turkish_War_(1877%E2%80%931878)&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: The Ottoman Army"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Army_(1861%E2%80%931922)" title="Ottoman Army (1861–1922)">Ottoman Army (1861–1922)</a></div> <p>The Ottoman army at this time solely conscripted Muslims with non-Muslims paying a poll tax in lieu of service, the army itself was divided into four categories: the Nizam (standing army), who served for four years (five for cavalry and engineers); the Ithiat, or first reserve, where a further two years were served (one year for the cavalry and artillery); the Redif, which took veterans of the Nizam and Ithiat categories and men who did not serve; and the Moustafiz, where all men who had completed their service in the Redif (approximately 300,000 troops) served for a further six years.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_38-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Redif itself was divided into four categories: the first category consisted of veterans of the Nizam category, who served in the first Redif subcategory for four years before entering the second Redif sub-category; men who were not conscripted served in the third sub-category of the Redif for four years before entering the fourth subcategory.

An additional 20,000 men of the Gendarme were included in the Nizam.

the war, the outcome was far from obvious. The Russians could send a larger army into the Balkans: about 300,000 troops were within reach. The Ottomans had about 200,000 troops on the Balkan peninsula, of which about 100,000 were assigned to fortified garrisons, leaving about 100,000 for the army of operation. The Ottomans had the advantage of being fortified, complete command of the Black Sea, and patrol boats along the <a href="/wiki/Danube" title="Danube">Danube</a> river.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They also possessed superior arms, including new British and American-made rifles and German-made artillery. </p><p>In the event, however, the Ottomans usually resorted to passive defense, leaving the strategic initiative to the Russians, who, after making some mistakes, found a winning strategy for the war. The Ottoman military command in Constantinople made poor assumptions about Russian intentions. They decided that Russians would be too lazy to march along the Danube and cross it away from the delta, and would prefer the short way along the Black Sea coast. This would be ignoring the fact that the coast had the strongest, best supplied and garrisoned Turkish fortresses. There was only one well manned fortress along the inner part of the River Danube, <a href="/wiki/Vidin" title="Vidin">Vidin</a>. It was garrisoned only because the troops, led by <a href="/wiki/Osman_Nuri_Pasha" title="Osman Nuri Pasha">Osman Nuri Pasha</a>, had just taken part in defeating the Serbs in their recent war against the Ottoman Empire. </p><p>The Russian campaign was better planned, but it relied heavily on Turkish passivity. A crucial Russian mistake was sending too few troops initially; an expeditionary force of about 185,000 crossed the Danube in June, slightly fewer than the combined Turkish forces in the Balkans (about 200,000). After setbacks in July (at <a href="/wiki/Pleven" title="Pleven">Pleven</a> and <a href="/wiki/Stara_Zagora" title="Stara Zagora">Stara Zagora</a>), the Russian military command realized it did not have the reserves to keep the offensive going and switched to a defensive posture. The Russians did not even have enough forces to blockade Pleven properly until late August, which effectively delayed the whole campaign for about two months. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Balkan_theatre">Balkan theatre</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Russo-Turkish_War_(1877%E2%80%931878)&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Balkan theatre"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Russo-Turkish_War_(1877%E2%80%931878).png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Russo-Turkish_War_%281877%E2%80%931878%29.png/220px-Russo-Turkish_War_%281877%E2%80%931878%29.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="188" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Russo-Turkish_War_%281877%E2%80%931878%29.png/330px-Russo-Turkish_War_%281877%E2%80%931878%29.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Russo-Turkish_War_%281877%E2%80%931878%29.png/440px-Russo-Turkish_War_%281877%E2%80%931878%29.png 2x" data-file-width="1482" data-file-height="1268" /></a><figcaption>Map of the Balkan Theater</figcaption></figure> <p>At the start of the war, Russia and Romania destroyed all vessels along the Danube and <a href="/wiki/Naval_mine" title="Naval mine">mined</a> the river, thus ensuring that Russian forces could cross the Danube at any point without resistance from the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Navy" title="Ottoman Navy">Ottoman Navy</a>.

On his way to Nikopol, Osman Pasha learned that the Russians had already captured the fortress and so moved to the crossroads town of Plevna (now known as <a href="/wiki/Pleven" title="Pleven">Pleven</a>), which he occupied with a force of approximately 15,000 on 19 July (NS).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEvon_Herbert1895131_52-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEvon_Herbert1895131-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Russians, approximately 9,000 under the command of General Schilder-Schuldner, reached Plevna early in the morning. Thus began the Siege of Plevna, lasting for 145 days until 10 December. </p><p>Osman Pasha organized a defense and repelled two Russian attacks with colossal casualties on the Russian side.

After three days of fighting, the volunteers were relieved by a Russian force led by General <a href="/wiki/Fyodor_Radetsky" title="Fyodor Radetsky">Fyodor Radetsky</a>, and the Turkish forces withdrew. Soon afterwards, Romanian forces crossed the Danube and joined the siege. On 16 August, at Gorni-Studen, the armies around Plevna were placed under the command of the Romanian Prince <a href="/wiki/Carol_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Carol I">Carol I</a>, aided by the Russian general Pavel Dmitrievich Zotov and the Romanian general <a href="/wiki/Alexandru_Cernat" title="Alexandru Cernat">Alexandru Cernat</a>. </p><p>The Turks maintained several fortresses around Pleven which the Russian and Romanian forces gradually reduced.<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEvon_Herbert1895_56-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEvon_Herbert1895-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Romanian 4th Division led by General <a href="/wiki/Gheorghe_Manu" title="Gheorghe Manu">Gheorghe Manu</a> took the Grivitsa redoubt after four bloody assaults and managed to keep it until the very end of the siege. The Siege of Plevna (July–December 1877) turned to victory only after Russian and Romanian forces cut off all supply routes to the fortified Ottomans. With supplies running low, Osman Pasha made an attempt to break the Russian siege in the direction of <a href="/wiki/Opanets,_Dobrich_Province" title="Opanets, Dobrich Province">Opanets</a>. On 9 December, in the middle of the night the Ottomans threw bridges over the <a href="/wiki/Vit_(river)" title="Vit (river)">Vit</a> river and crossed it, attacked on a 2-mile (3.2 km) front and broke through the first line of Russian trenches. Here they fought hand to hand and bayonet to bayonet, with little advantage to either side. Outnumbering the Ottomans almost 5 to 1, the Russians drove the Ottomans back across the Vit. Osman Pasha was wounded in the leg by a stray bullet, which killed his horse beneath him. Making a brief stand, the Ottomans eventually found themselves driven back into the city, losing 5,000 men to the Russians' 2,000. The next day, Osman surrendered the city, the garrison, and his sword to the Romanian colonel, <a href="/wiki/Mihail_Cerchez" title="Mihail Cerchez">Mihail Cerchez</a>. He was treated honorably, but his troops perished in the snow by the thousands as they straggled off into captivity. </p><p>At this point, Serbia, having finally secured monetary aid from Russia, declared war on the Ottoman Empire again. This time there were far fewer Russian officers in the Serbian army but this was more than offset by the experience gained from the 1876–77 war. Under nominal command of Prince <a href="/wiki/Milan_I_of_Serbia" title="Milan I of Serbia">Milan Obrenović</a> (effective command was in hands of general <a href="/wiki/Kosta_Proti%C4%87" title="Kosta Protić">Kosta Protić</a>, the army chief of staff), the Serbian Army went on offensive in what is now eastern south Serbia. A planned offensive into the Ottoman <a href="/wiki/Sanjak_of_Novi_Pazar" title="Sanjak of Novi Pazar">Sanjak of Novi Pazar</a> was called off due to strong diplomatic pressure from Austria-Hungary, which wanted to prevent Serbia and Montenegro from coming into contact, and which had designs to spread Austria-Hungary's influence through the area. The Ottomans, outnumbered unlike two years before, mostly confined themselves to passive defence of fortified positions. By the end of hostilities the Serbs had captured Ak-Palanka (today <a href="/wiki/Bela_Palanka" title="Bela Palanka">Bela Palanka</a>), <a href="/wiki/Pirot" title="Pirot">Pirot</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ni%C5%A1" title="Niš">Niš</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vranje" title="Vranje">Vranje</a>. </p><p>Russians under <a href="/wiki/Field_Marshal" class="mw-redirect" title="Field Marshal">Field Marshal</a> Gourko succeeded in capturing the passes at the <a href="/wiki/Stara_Planina" class="mw-redirect" title="Stara Planina">Stara Planina</a> mountain, which were crucial for maneuvering. Next, both sides fought a series of battles for Shipka Pass. Gourko made several attacks on the <a href="/wiki/Shipka_Pass" title="Shipka Pass">Pass</a> and eventually secured it. Ottoman troops spent much effort to recapture this important route, to use it to reinforce Osman Pasha in Pleven, but failed. Eventually Gourko led a final offensive that crushed the Ottomans around Shipka Pass. The Ottoman offensive against Shipka Pass is considered one of the major mistakes of the war, as other passes were virtually unguarded. At this time a huge number of Ottoman troops stayed fortified along the Black Sea coast and engaged in very few operations. </p><p>A Russian army crossed the Stara Planina by a high snowy pass in winter, guided and helped by local Bulgarians, not expected by the Ottoman army, and defeated the Turks at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Tashkessen" title="Battle of Tashkessen">Battle of Tashkessen</a> and <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Sofia" title="Battle of Sofia">took Sofia</a>.
