Following years of aggression in I the courso of which they succeeded I in driving the (.Jrepks out of Asi i j Minor, the Turks, in A.D. 1453, under the leadership of Mohamed ti, were Btrorig enough to throw an army of 2.00.000 men aKains; the Qroek capital of Constantinople. Constan!1 i>, weakened by Christian ! je lousy und treachery, put up the : bi.st fight he could but fell at the , head of his men who were defenditw; a breach In the wall, and tho next , iiay the Turks offered their prayers 1 of thanksgiving in the celebrated i church of St. Sofia, which has con-I tlnued to be the seat of the sultan's authoi Ity.
In theory the sultan i.s the spirit-
] nal head of Islam, and Islam is the
I slate religion of Turkey, but In prac-
j tlce the sultan has secured his ap-

the sword. The news of the wenk

The other European powers would not agree, and In 1841 the treaty of London closed the Dardanelles to the warships of all nations, while Turkey remained nt peace, but If any attack wa.s made on her by Russia. Turkey wns nt once to open the Dardanelles to fleets comliiK to the as-sistance of Turkey.
In 1863 Russia, ever remembering bile Imperial city, demand-that Turkey should
Is as- eruti'd. and which cost the mother-being land Beventy million pounds and the ltves of thousands of hor bravest sons to secure the balance of power. The treaty of Purls In 185ti made the Black Sea neutral, freely open to nil ships, but closed to all ships of wur. save revenue boats, not only to European powers, but also to those of Turkey and Russia.
In is?'), Russia; taking advantage of the Franco-Gerriian war. repudiated this neutrality arrangement in the Black Sea, and compelled Europe to permit Russian and Turkish fleets In the Black Sou. The fleets of other nations wero ytlll exclinled in time of peace by the closure of the narrow straits.
Russia again attacked Turkey in 1S77 to aid the Christiana of the om re- I-Balkan races, then tortured beyond , endurance by Turkish savagery and botweon j misrule. In Uto spring of 1878 the by the : Russian forces had, after a Bevere and struggle, triumphed over all opposl-the lion, and were almost at the gates Turk-! of Constantinople, when Great Bride- ' tain took prompt measures and sent s of 1 the Mediterranean fleet to the Sea of Marmora, and Ruhsjil's nrtnie.-) retired. '
In 1X78 the treaty of Berlin, gen-erally speaking, established the Balkan States, gave Russia the Eastern Black Sea littoral, Including the Port of Hatoum. which latter has since become the great outlet for tho oil fields of tbo. Caucasus.
In the world war Turkey backed the wroiiR horse. She opened tho Dardanelles and the HosphoruH to the German ships and closed tho Kaies on Britain. By the terms of j built to the waterways I Gt
