These are the Bulgarian horrors; and the question is, what can and should be done, either to punish, or to brand, or to prevent?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--W.E.

In Britain, the Conservative government of Benjamin Disraeli initially did not appear concerned about this crisis. However, this changed when the London newspaper \u003cem\u003eThe Daily News\u003c\/em\u003e publicized the atrocities committed by the Ottomans against the Christians in Bulgaria, and especially when the former Liberal Prime Minister William Gladstone published his pamphlet \u003cem\u003eBulgarian Horrors and the Question of the East\u003c\/em\u003e (1876). In this fascinating publication, which sold 200,000 copies, Gladstone expressed his sympathies for the Balkan Christians and called for independence of the Balkan states.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10367971\"\u003eWilliam Ewart Gladstone\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646791781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646791789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS010000\"\u003eEurope | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS037000\"\u003eWorld | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027130\"\u003eWars \u0026amp; Conflicts | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44576722485485,"sku":"9781646791781","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_af52c982-8b86-429d-b26a-fe7b7248bc62.jpg?v=1702015779","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/bulgarian-horrors-and-the-question-of-the-east-9781646791781","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
