THE CONGRESS OF BERLIN. - 601 ever, still assumed that, where great stiperiority of strength and resources exist, military superiority must come in the end. It was evidently only a question of time to enable Russia ^ make good her mistakes and to recover her en- ergies. Thus far the defeats of the Russians had really been inflicted by themselves. Their own blunders had given the battle into the hands of their ^enemies. Taught by experi- ence, the Czar confided the direction of the campaign to t...he hands of General Todleben, the great soldier whose splen- did defence of Sebastopol had made the one grand military reputation of the Crimean War. Under his directing skill the fortunes of the campaign soon turned. Just at the very moment when English critics were proclaiming that the campaign in Asia Minor was over, and that Plevna never could be taken, there came a succes^on of ci*ushing defeats inflicted by the Russians on the Turks both in Europe and Asia. Kars was taken by assault on November 18th, 1877; Plevna surrendered on December lOtli.
