Description
This text discusses Bulgarian foreign policy from the assumption of power of Ivan E. Geshov's government in 1911, through Bulgaria's victory over the Ottoman Empire in the First Balkan War, catastrophic defeat in the Second Balkan War of 1913, and entry into World War I in 1915. The book uses archival material, as well as the recently opened archives of Tsar Ferdinand at the Hoover Institute, to demonstrate how the elusive Bulgarian policy goal of Macedonia influenced the Russophile government of Geshov, the ultra-Russophile government of Stoyan Danev, and the Russophobe government of Vasil Radoslavov. It shows how Bulgaria was transformed from Russia's most loyal Balkan friend in 1911 to its most hated enemy in 1913. This left Russia little choice but to support its only Balkan friend, Serbia, in 1914 and caused Bulgaria to side with Russia's enemies in 1915.
