27 November 1919: The Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine was signed—Terms were imposed upon Bulgaria rather than negotiated: it lost direct access to the Aegean Sea, agreed to reparations, &, despite lofty Wilsonian rhetoric about national self-determination, ceded Bulgarian-majority towns to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, & Slovenes; but along among the erstwhile Central Powers, its monarchy survived.
Lest we forget.
