Where may I found the original text of the treaty (in French)? --Hubertgui (talk) 17:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


I rewrote the article and added the original maps. Miko Stavrev.

I liked the old version better. This map is kind of ugly - only BG and SS and BT. It will be better to have one map with the provisions only of the SS Treaty for all Balkan countries. This map is a better illustration of the BT article, I think. Miko Stavrev 17:03, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand why Bulgaria is emphasized in this article when it appears that the treaty had consequences for the entire Balkans? The map puts the same emphasys. --Bora Nesic 03:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

It was the creation of a massive Bulgaria that characterized the San Stefano Treaty. Although Serbia gained parts of Old Serbia, Bulgaria went from a no-name nation to a country that would potentially connect the Black Sea and the Aegean (cited as a fear by the British of an entry of Slavs into the Mediterranean). This had a dramatic impact on Serbo-Bulgarian and Greek-Bulgarian relations to the present day in addition to arousing Great Britain and Austria-Hungary to act in the Treaty of Berlin in the context of the Eastern Question.

[edit] Map is POV and must be changed or removed

The map was probably composed very recently. The boundaries of San Stephano Bulgaria are correct. However, the caption 'Liberated Bulgaria' is POV. The caption needs to be removed. Editors are welcome to insert image of original 1878 images that write include such terms. Politis 16:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
