The concessions granted to the British and pro-British administrations
came with a blind trust in the British, not only in trade, but also in politics

conflict, the only position from which the Ottomans
could block a Russian ground attack was the Danube Riv-
er in Romania. The Ottoman navy was perfectly capable of pre-
