On January 9, 1878, Russian troops defeated the Turks in the Battle of Shipko-Sheinovsky. This event was the final chord of hostilities between the Russian-Bulgarian and Turkish forces in the area of the strategically important Shipka Pass. The Turks could not take Shipka for about five months, after which the Russian army broke through their defense line and opened the road to Adrianople.
