Did Bulgaria lose direct access to the Mediterranean sea after ww1?

Answer 1

Bulgaria sat out the first year of World_War_Irecuperating from the Balkan Wars. Germany and Austria realized they needed Bulgaria's help in order to defeat Serbia militarily, and thereby open supply lines from Germany to Turkey, and bolster the Eastern Front against Russia. Bulgaria insisted on major territorial gains, especially Macedonia, which Austria was reluctant to grant until Berlin insisted. Bulgaria also negotiated with the Allies, who offered somewhat less generous terms. The king decided to go with Germany and Austria and signed an alliance with them in September 1915, along with a special Bulgarian-Turkish arrangement. It envisioned that Bulgaria would dominate the Balkans after the war. Bulgaria, which had the largest army in the Balkans, declared war on Serbia in October 1915. Britain, France and Italy then declared war on Bulgaria. The negotiations were highly successful from Bulgaria's immediate point of view. In alliance with Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans, Bulgaria won military victories against Serbia and Romania, occupying much of Macedonia ), advancing into Greek Macedonia, and taking Dobruja from Romania in September 1916. Thus Serbia was knocked out of the war, and Turkey was temporarily rescued from collapse

Answer 2

Yes. Yes, it did. Prior to World War I, Bulgaria included what is now the Greek province of Western Thrace and therefore had an outlet on the Aegean Sea (which is considered an arm of the Mediterranean). However, since the Treaty of Neuilly in 1919, Western Thrace belongs to Greece, cutting Bulgaria off to the Mediterranean.
