Historical Context – The Balkan Wars (1912–1913):

The Balkan Wars were a turning point in modern Greek and Balkan history.

• The First Balkan War (1912–1913) saw Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bulgaria allied against the Ottoman Empire, successfully driving it from most of its European territories.

• The Second Balkan War (1913) began when Bulgaria attacked its former allies but was quickly defeated, also facing Romania and the Ottoman Empire.

As a result, Greece annexed Epirus, Thessaloniki, and Crete, nearly doubling its territory and population. The outcome reshaped the political landscape of Southeastern Europe and foreshadowed the tensions that culminated in World War I.

A scarce and historically significant publication, essential for collectors of Greek military history and Balkan studies.
