'The Cheeky Chick', 1885. Turkey watches as the Treaty of Berlin hatches to reveal a chick with Roumelia and Bulgaria on each wing. This relates to the news that revolution had broken out in Eastern Roumelia and that its union to Bulgaria had been decided. Prince Alexander of Bulgaria agreed and set off for his new territory. The move was opposed by Russia, Germany and Austria as being contrary to the terms of the Treaty of Berlin.From Punch, or the London Charivari, October 3, 1885.
