Illustrating
Territorial Modifications in the Balkans - Conference of London
[May 1913] and Treaty of Bukarest [August 1913]
"The
Treaty of London (30 May 1913) ceded to the Balkan allies all
territories 'west of a line drawn from Enos on the Aegean Sea to
Midia on the
Black Sea, with the exception of Albania. It was not only a
defeat of the military forces of the Turkish empire, but a
defeat of the Austrian dream
of Drang nach Osten. ...Austria-Hungary and Italy, rather than
see Albania partitioned between Slav states on the north and
Greece on the south,
had succeeded in blocking Serbian access to the Adriatic by
proposing the creation of an autonomous Albania."
Quote from Great Britain. Naval Intelligence Division,
Geographical Handbook Series: Jugoslavia Volume II, 1944, p.
114.
