Sublime Porte, Alfonso XII, Romania, Herzegovinian Rebellion, Ottoman Empire, Bourbon RestorationAbstract
This research examines Spanish-Ottoman relations through two diplomatic episodes in the Balkans: Alfonso XII's gratitude to Charles I of Romania after his ascension, which caused tensions with the Sublime Porte, and the 1875 rebellion in Herzegovina. Both cases allow for an analysis of the foreign strategies of Spain and the Ottoman Empire in their attempt to integrate into the system of alliances centred on Berlin. The study also considers the influence of internal contexts on the formulation of their respective foreign policies.
