The Battle of Plevna and the March to Constantinople
Russian troops commanded by the Tsar’s brother, Grand Duke Nicholas, cross the Danube and experienced initial success. This was to be short-lived, however, after General Krudener, ordered to take the Turkish position at Plevna, was defeated. The Russians lost 7,000 and were routed. Defending Plevna, Osman Pasha, one of Turkey’s ablest commanders, led 60,000 Turks; Plevna had to be taken.
Facing the Russian army at the approach of winter, Osman faced five days of brutal bombardment. For the next two days, Russian infantry attacked the entrenched positions of Turkish defenders. The Turks were better armed and repulsed every advance. 25,000 Russian lives were lost attempting to take the redoubts and trenches.
Resorting to starving out the Turks, the Russians surrounded Plevna, each side hoping reinforcements would arrive. After 143 days, Osman attempted to break out of Plevna. Over 60,000 men fought each other yet in the end it was Osman who surrendered. 43,000 Turks were taken as prisoners, marched to Russia in appalling conditions. Of a total of 50,000 Turkish soldiers sent into captivity during the war, only 12,000 returned home.
The Russian army advanced to Adrianople and reached the outskirts of Constantinople. Finally heeding the often temperamental advice of Queen Victoria, Lord Beaconsfield dispatched British war ships to the Sea of Marmara, within sight of Constantinople. Britain would not permit the Russian Bear to occupy the strategic city.
