First sentence: ALTHOUGH the struggle carried on by the Greeks to obtain their independence, and its climax in the bay of Navarino-which has been so expressively termed, "le crime politique de l'Europe"-appeared to be the immediate causes of the Russo-Turkish campaigns of 1828 and 1829 in Europe and Asia, the real origin of this war dates much farther back: it was in fact the result of the previous extension of the Russian territory along both sides of the Euxine.
