What was the bucharest treaty?

Answer 1

The Bucharest treaty was a treaty between Serbia , Montenegro , Bulgaria , Greece & Romania .
When Albania got its independence from the Ottoman empire , Macedonia had revolted against

The Ottomans .The map bellow shows in pink the Ottoman empire after ww1and in purple

its empire before 1910 :

The ottomans were attacked by the Montenegrins Serbs , Greeks , Bulgarians and Albanians in the first

Balkan war . Montenegro and Albania were just doing it to liberate their homeland [ although Albania

did take the Macedonian region Mala Prespa ] , whereas Serbia Greece and Bulgaria were taking

Macedonian territory under Ottoman occupation . The region East Thrace however was Bulgaria's

homeland . After the first Balkan war the map was left like this :

The Greeks massacred all Macedonian civilians they found in an open , largely criticised ethnic

cleansing campaign . Serbia and Bulgaria attempted to look like the Macedonians saviour and

win Macedonian public support . It was soon clear that Greece's violent , imperialist greed had

not been satisfied yet , and Serbia and Bulgaria would be on opposing sides in the coming war.

So Greece and Serbia made an alliance to attack Bulgaria , starting the second Balkan war .

When Romania joined and took Dobruja of Bulgaria , it was clear the Bulgarians were fighting

a war they couldn't win . so they agreed to the Bucharest treaty , leaving the map like this :
