137 Armenia independent
The Ottoman Empire, with its many nationalities, was deeply affected by the rise of nationalism. After the Tanzimat, the mid-nineteenth century reforms, had given the Armenians greater independence, this group demanded still more autonomy. The Congress of Berlin (1878) made the Armenian question international following the Russo-Turkish War, and an Armenian revolutionary movement arose. In 1894-1896 this led to serious repression of Armenians (which was to recur in a far worse form in 1915-1916).
