My Italian: Chapter 538 Treaty of Bucharest

Peace talks in the Romanian capital are affecting European countries. After several countries' constant wrangling, the countries finally reached a consensus, and Bulgaria negotiated a peace treaty with Greece, Romania, and Serbia.

Speaking of which, the most interesting thing about this time in Bucharest is the Italian side's performance in this talk. In this peace negotiation, the Italian side showed an enthusiasm no less than that of the warring countries, but this enthusiasm was more on the side of the defeated Bulgaria.

For this reason, Crown Princess Mafalda, who had already married Romania, also wrote to Carlo, saying that her husband, Crown Prince Ferdinand, complained in front of him that Italy was so biased towards Bulgaria in this peace negotiation, and he did not know that he would take it out. What a very tempting condition.

In fact, for Romania, Italy's partiality to Bulgaria did not affect the interests it should obtain, because Italy basically suppressed the conditions of the two countries. Even with the support of other major powers behind it, Italy has shown a fearless posture.

Taking into account the strength of Italy and the tough attitude of Bulgaria, the powers are not willing to conflict with it too much in this regard.

In fact, this also has a lot to do with Italy's prudence. Italy does not deny Bulgaria's defeat, and also believes that it should make compensation for the defeat, but Italy is against allowing Bulgaria to compensate too much.

As for the three countries of Britain, France and Russia that support Sehi, although Greece is standing with the British, the United Kingdom is unwilling to invest too much energy in the Balkans. Since Greece can get benefits, why should it die for the interests of the Greeks and Italy?

As for Russia behind Serbia, although it gave up Bulgaria for Serbia and its interests are also in the Balkans, Russia does not pose much threat to Italy.

In addition, although it has chosen to give up Bulgaria in this war, it does not mean that Russia should be dominated by Serbian interests. If no one stands for Bulgaria, it is still possible, but this is not Italy. Russia is already a little guilty, and it is no longer too demanding.

Since the powers of various countries are afraid of Italy's attitude, then only the two countries can bear it. The attitudes of the two countries towards Italy are mixed.

Because Italy has territory bordering it, and Italy's performance in recent years is quite strong, its words are also very deterrent to the two countries.

In the face of Italy's tough attitude, the demands of the two countries for Bulgaria have also been reduced.

The final outcome of the Bucharest peace talks was as follows; first, Bulgaria needed to cede 4,000 square kilometers of South Dobroga to Romania.

Secondly, Greece will get most of South Macedonia, such as the most valuable city of Thessaloniki will be owned by it.

As for Serbia, its patron Macedonia was cut in half. In particular, Skopje, the most important part of Macedonia, is also on the verge of being ceded.

According to the treaty, Bulgaria lost nearly 20,000 square kilometers of territory in Serbia and Romania, with a population of nearly one million.

As for Greece, it got most of the former Austrian Macedonia, and the most important of them, Thessaloniki, was also assigned to it.

Compared with the original history, Bulgaria has been much better, at least Macedonia has left nearly half of it, followed by parts of Thrace.

One more thing to say here, although Bulgaria has only negotiated with the three countries of Sehiro, there is another country that is also negotiating with Bulgaria, and this country is the Ottomans.

Negotiations with the Ottomans were much more difficult for Bulgaria. First of all, the Ottomans had a strong demand for Adrianople, which was to ensure the most important military stronghold in its capital Istanbul. Secondly, both Germany and Austria-Hungary supported the needs of the Ottomans. For this reason, the German advisory group of the Ottoman army also participated in the attack on Bulgaria before. More importantly, Adrianople is currently in the hands of the Ottomans. In this siege of Bulgaria, the Ottomans fought all the way to Adrianople.

What is lost in war cannot be brought back in peace talks. Bulgaria also understands this, and considering the current Bulgaria

Huge losses, and they are unwilling to continue fighting with the Ottomans. Therefore, after some negotiation, Bulgaria decided to take the Meric River as the boundary, the east belonged to the Ottomans, and the west belonged to Bulgaria. And Adrianople is just east of the river.

The Ottomans also agreed to this condition. In fact, the Ottomans agreed to have a lot to do with their high battle losses. Before they were beaten by the Xibao coalition, they lost a lot of elite troops. Cheap mentality, it’s good to be able to return some money now, and if you want more, it’s not about fighting to the death with Bulgaria, let’s rectify your own military strength first.

One more thing to say here, the Ottoman al-Shabaab, which is currently back in power, has just done a major thing, that is, abolishing the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and its new sultan is his younger brother Mohammed V.

There are actually deep-seated reasons for the abolition of the Sultan by the Al-Shabaab. The reason is that the Ottoman Empire carried out a constitutional monarchy reform. In order to promote the reform, the Al-Shabaab brought Mohammed V, who was more in line with the constitutional monarchy, to power. .

After some peace talks and wrangling, Bulgaria finally reached peace terms with other countries. M..

In general, Bulgaria's losses this time are not small, but not as severe as in history. First Bulgaria got part of Thrace from the Ottomans, and Bulgaria could finally vacation in the Aegean, though

The most important port, Thessaloniki, is still missing, but is now somewhat supplemented by some territorial gains from the Ottomans. Although not much, only a few thousand square kilometers, but it is better than being pure meat.

Although in a sense, Bulgaria has been very good, but when the peace treaty with various countries was passed back to the country, the Bulgarian people were completely boiled. For them, the content of the treaty created a rage that needed to be borne by someone.

As the defeated cabinet and the main person in charge of the peace talks, Prime Minister Tkov and Foreign Minister Ivanchev are all traitors. Therefore, a huge demonstration broke out in the capital Sofia, demanding that he step down and apologize. In the face of the anger of the people, King Ferdinand I accepted it like a good man.

In fact, when the war was defeated, the Tkov cabinet should have stepped down, but because no one was willing to bear the consequences of the peace talks, they could only be allowed to complete their final mission. Now that the peace talks are over, then the Tkov cabinet should be dismissed. Sweeped into the trash.

Bulgarians expressed their gratitude to Italy, which helped in the peace talks, as their anger over the ceded territory was unleashed.

Thousands of children in Bulgaria painted a giant long banner with a length of 300 meters and a width of 2 meters, full of childlike and friendly portraits symbolizing the friendship between the two countries. The giant banner was sent to the Italian Embassy by Bulgarians and their children, who received it on their behalf.

To say that Bulgaria suddenly broke out in this wave of friendship with Italy without the government behind it would be insulting the intelligence of others.

As for why the government made such a move, it is actually quite understandable. The Balkan war, which has just ended, has made Bulgaria aware of its diplomatic situation. In a situation of enemies on all sides, the Bulgarians definitely do not want to do it again.

So it is beneficial and harmless to Bulgaria to make good friends with Italy and restore the ally-like relationship between the two countries at this time. If we don't take the opportunity to publicize our friendship with Italy at this time, should we wait for another time?

In the face of Bulgaria's offer, how could Italy not accept it? Although this Balkan war has greatly damaged Bulgaria's strength, it is in line with Italy's needs. Italy needs a younger brother to help watch its interests in the Balkans.

Therefore, for a series of actions by Bulgaria, Italy is also cooperating with each other. With the intention of Lang Youqing and his concubine, the relationship between the two countries has rapidly warmed up, and everything seems to have returned to the era of the 1890 alliance.

For the rapid warming of relations between Italy and Bulgaria, the Russians are the most uncomfortable. Seeing the old little brother drifting away from him, he must have mixed feelings in his heart.

But what can be done about this, when Russia chose Serbia as its ally in the Balkans, it was doomed to have a dispute with the Bulgarians. :,,.
