Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine, dealing with Bulgaria for its role as one of the Central Powers in World War I, was signed on the November 27, 1919 at Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.
The treaty established borders over contested territory between Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Yugoslavia. As a Central Powers belligerent, Bulgaria received the least land, and was required to reduce its army to 20,000 men, pay reparations exceeding $400 million, and recognize the existence of Yugoslavia. Bulgaria was required to cede western Thrace to Greece and parts of Dobruja to Romania.
In Bulgaria, the results of the treaty are popularly known as the Second National Catastrophe. During World War II Bulgaria, together with Nazi Germany, temporarily reoccupied the territories it had ceded.
