Congress of Berlin, 1878
The Congress of Berlin (13 June – 13 July 1878),
under the leadership of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck,
was a meeting of representatives of six Great powers at the time
(Russia, Great Britain, France, Austria-Hungary, Italy and Germany),
the Ottoman Empire and four Balkan states (Greece, Serbia, Romania and
Montenegro),
aiming at determining territories of the states in the Balkan peninsula
following the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78.
The Congress came to an end with a signing of the Treaty of Berlin,
which replaced the preliminary Treaty of San Stefano
signed three months earlier between Russia and the Ottoman Empire.
(Wikipedia)
Berliner Kongress, 1878
Der Berliner Kongress (13. Juni - 13. Juli 1878),
unter der Leitung des deutschen Bundeskanzlers Otto von Bismarck,
war ein Treffen von Vertretern von sechs Großmächten der damaligen Zeit
(Russland, Großbritannien, Frankreich, Österreich-Ungarn, Italien und
Deutschland),
das Osmanische Reich und vier Balkanstaaten (Griechenland, Serbien, Rumänien
und Montenegro)
mit dem Ziel, die Territorien der Staaten auf der Balkanhalbinsel
nach dem Russisch-Türkischen Krieg von 1877/78 zu bestimmen.
Der Kongress endete mit der Unterzeichnung des Berliner Vertrages,
der den vor drei Monaten unterzeichneten Vorfrieden von San Stefano
zwischen Russland und dem Osmanischen Reich ersetzte.

Berlin Conference, 1884-85
The Berlin Conference of 1884–85, also known as the
Congo Conference or West Africa Conference,
regulated European colonization and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism
period,
and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power.
The conference was organized by Otto von Bismarck, first
Chancellor of Germany,
its outcome, the General Act of the Berlin Conference,
can be seen as the formalization of the Scramble for Africa.
The conference ushered in a period of heightened colonial activity by European
powers,
which eliminated or overrode most existing forms of African autonomy and
self-governance.
(Wikipedia)
Berliner Konferenz, 1884-85
Die Berliner Konferenz von 1884-85, auch bekannt als
Kongo-Konferenz oder Westafrika-Konferenz,
regulierte die europäische Kolonisation und den Handel in Afrika während des
Neuen Imperialismus
und fiel zusammen mit Deutschlands plötzlichem Aufstieg als imperiale Macht.
Die Konferenz wurde von Otto von Bismarck organisiert, der
erste Bundeskanzler von Deutschland,
dessen Ergebnis, das Allgemeine Gesetz der Berliner Konferenz,
kann als die Formalisierung des Wettlaufs um Afrika gesehen
werden.
Die Konferenz führte zu einer Periode der verstärkten kolonialen Tätigkeit
durch europäische Mächte,
die die meisten existierenden Formen der afrikanischen Autonomie
und Selbstregierung beseitigte oder sich über sie hinwegsetzte.
