Excerpt from Library of Universal History, Vol. 8 of 8: Containing a Record of the Human Race From the Earliest Historical Period to the Present Time; Embracing a General Survey of the Progress of Mankind in National and Social Life, Civil Government, Religion, Literature; Recent Foreign History
Immediately after the demand of the Rus sian Autocrat had been rejected by the Ot toman Porte, sixty thousand Russian troops invaded the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. The Sultan demanded the evacuation of his dominions, threatening, in case of a refusal, a declaration of war. The fleets of France and England were ordered to the Dardanelles; while England, France, Austria and Prussia vainly endeavored to bring about an adjustment of the dispute by negotiation. The arrogance of Russia pre vented a peaceful solution of the difficulty; and, on the 5th of October, 1853, the Turk ish government declared war against Russia. On the 14th, October, 1853, the fleets of Great Britain and France, at the request of the Sultan, passed the Dardanelles.
