Kingdom of Bulgaria (Central Victory)

Role in the First World War
Bulgaria was at first neutral. But entered the war in late 1914 on the side of the Central Powers.

It was a key helper in the fall of Serbia in 1915, after that helped the Ottomans with the British in Arabia, by sending reserve troops and supplies to the crumbling 600 year old ally.

Iterwar Years
Bulgaria gained land from Romania and Serbia. In 1932, Bulgaria was invaded by Serbia. Bulgarian troops were easily toppled by Serbian forces. Serbian forces nearly reached the capital within a month. And Germany tried to enter the conflict to aid her Central Ally. But the Reichstag denied it and Bulgaria sued for peace. And by 1933 Serbia was returned all her lost southern territory.

Devestated by defeat, the Tsar abdicated out of shame and left a morally weak kingdom to his son. Tsar Boris III, rebuilt the Bulgarian Army and issued them new equipment, but relied on old war tactics.
