Excerpt from The Russo-Turkish War, Vol. 1: Including an Account of the Rise and Decline of the Ottoman Power, and the History of the Eastern Question

It will be sufficient to add here that the next serious disturbance the Ottoman Porte had to encounter in one of its subject provinces, was an insurrection of the Christian inhabitants of Crete against their Moslem rulers. This occurred in 1867, at the instigation, it was supposed, and certainly with the encouragement, of the people and Government of Greece. The movement was discountenanced by the Great Powers, and was suppressed by the Sultan's forces without much trouble and with no little severity.
