    About this ebook

    With the transfer of German units to the western front in the spring of 1918, the position of the Central Powers on the Macedonian front worsened. Materiel became scarce and morale among the Bulgarian forces deteriorated. The Entente Command perceived in Macedonia an excellent opportunity to apply additional pressure to the Germans, who were already retreating on the western front. In September, Entente forces undertook an offensive directed primarily at Bulgarian defenses at Dobro Pole. Balkan Breakthrough tells the story of that battle and its consequences. Dobro Pole was the catalyst for the collapse of the Central Powers and the Entente victory in southeastern Europe—a defeat that helped persuade the German military leadership that the war was lost. While decisive in ending World War I in the region, the battle did not resolve the underlying national issues there.

      Ranging rather wider than the title suggests, this monograph covers the whole of Bulgarian nationalist aspirations prior to 1945 with particular emphasis on Sofia's participation in the Great War. Considering that there is really nothing else available that goes into as great detail on the topic you can say that beggars can't be choosy, but there are a sufficient number of really disconcerting typographical errors that the publisher did Hall no favors.
