Abdulmejid I's countenance was ominously dark, the great battle in the Balkans may have been a minor episode for England and France, but it was fatal for the Sultan Government.

For this war, the Ottoman Empire had already exhausted all its strength. There was no doubt that this was all the power they had.

Mobilizing a million-strong army, regardless of its combat effectiveness, the entire fortune of the Ottoman Empire was at stake.
