As time came to October 1913, the Second Balkan War, which had erupted in the middle of the year, was essentially drawing to a close.
Before the outbreak of the war, both Bulgaria and the Anti-Bulgarian Alliance had full confidence in their outcome.
However, with the outbreak of the war, the significant gap in strength between the two sides made all countries in the world realize one truth: nations supported by the Powers and those without such support are truly at opposite extremes.
Bulgaria's humiliating defeat in the war proved that the reliability of the Powers' promises isn't always that high.
If one doesn't possess strong power, the Powers can turn against them at any time, tearing up their previous promises and agreements.
The Second Balkan War began on May 19th, and in less than five months, on October 17th, both parties signed a peace accord, hastily ending the war.
As the defeated country in the war, Bulgaria suffered heavy losses.
