The First Balkan War (1912 - 1913)

The First Balkan War, which lasted from October 1912 to May 1913, comprised actions of the Balkan League (Serbia, Greece, Montenegro and Bulgaria) against the Ottoman Empire. The combined armies of the Balkan states overcame the numerically inferior and strategically disadvantaged Ottoman armies and achieved rapid success.

It was a very slow decline after 1683 and it's when the age of enlightenment rolled around THEN did the Ottomans begin to earn the name "Old man of Europe"

The Ottomans where in a stagnation period ( iam sure you don’t know what stagnation is) where the weren’t declining but neither improving and this was around 1700 to 1800s. So comment after you do your research or you’ll make yourself look ignorant and dumb.

I know the history so: serbia and greece say "lets everone get the land where he was fighting in" but the main thing bulgaria wants is macedonia (cuz there are MUCH bulgarians) where the mainly forces were serbian and greece's so bulgaria try to take Macedonia. Bulgaria gets their forces out of turkey and romania's borders and they attack bulgaria cuz... obviously bulgaria cant defence ALL its borders at the same time... (Well there is a revenge, in first world war bulgaria destroy serbia and romania for 2 weeks)

there is a huge error, the treaty of London didn't give serbia albanian coastal area, it actually gived it to Albania except albanian Montenegro, epirus and west Macedonia, which were proposed by the albanian provisional government, as those are albanian ethnical territories and they were inhabited by albanians, but obviously serbia, Montenegro and Greece rejected this, so to Albania it was only given a little part of those territories

[@orionnebula2605]

There is a huge error indeed but the Albanian ethnicity existed as a minority in Greece and in Vardaska,Serbia and Montenegro too.

Rumelia and Turkish genocide after the war... 1,5 million Turkish, Albanian and Bosniak Muslims were killed by four armies in 1913-1914 and 400,000 Muslims migrated to Türkiye to survive. Turks were killing in their own homeland and their homes were stealing since Greek War of Independence (1821-1829). According to British army officer and historian Thomas Gordon, over 20,000 Muslims were killed by their Greek neighbours in Tripolitsa (1821) and many Turks killed in Crete during the rebellion (1866-1869). During the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), 260,000 Turkish Muslims were killed by Russian, Greek and Romanian forces and Bulgarian, Montenegrin and Serbian terrorists in Balkans. Our homeland Rumelia was stolen by genociders. It hurts me. Greetings to Balkan muhajirin (immigrants) from Türkiye. We didn't forget Turkish genocide in Balkans. One day, hopefully we will see Rumelia is Turkish again. 🇹🇷💔

"If you try to defend everywhere you defend no where" - Ali Ihsan Pasha Fighting meaningless wars in Libya and Yemen, splitting forces in Balkan threater instead of concentrating in East Thrace, over confidence, poorly organized frontal attacks with irregulars due to worst mobilization, having no demographic policy ( Albanians, Turks and Pomaks had majority in Ottoman Europe of 1912 ), fuckin traditionalist ranker officers who hates Young Turks etc... We lost a motherland during Balkan Wars. Western thrace and lower Macedonia had significant Turkish/Muslim population. Thanks to Abdulhamid II and his schizophrenic reign Ottoman army was ill prepared. after 1908 revolution Young Turks couldn't solidify their power and counter revolutionaries were in power when war broke out. After humiliating defeat in 1913, Young Turks made a necessary coup d etat and killed responsible Nazim Pasha (the one who gave the orders of disastrous early offensives which ended in total defeat) and took power back. They purged traditionalist ranker fucks and modernized army with people who studied in western style military schools. During wwi Ottoman armies gave more than what world expected and stand along its allies for 4 years. Won significant battles like Gallipoli and Kutal Amara. Even after collapse in 1918, those young officers initiated Turkish war of independence.
