Third Balkan War (Alexander the Liberator)

The Third Balkan War (Bulgarian: Трета балканска война; Greek: Τρίτος Βαλκανικός Πόλεμος; Serbian: Трећи балкански рат; Turkish: Üçüncü Balkan Savaşı), lasted from October 1912 to May 1913 and comprised actions of the Balkan League (the kingdoms of Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Greece and Montenegro) against the Ottoman Empire, following a Turkish attempt to recapture its lost European territories. The combined armies of the Balkan states overcame the numerically inferior and strategically disadvantaged Ottoman armies and achieved rapid success.
