Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Treaty of Bucharest
- Step 1: Following the joint Balkan victory over the Ottomans, Bulgaria attacked its former allies Greece and Serbia in June 1913. The Treaty of Bucharest (August 1913) ended the war, confirming Greece's annexation of southern Epirus, Macedonia, and Aegean islands. Answer: Treaty of Bucharest. Why not the others: "Treaty of London 1913" concluded the First Balkan War in May 1913, leaving border disputes unresolved among allies; "Treaty of Neuilly" was the 1919 WWI peace treaty dealing with Bulgarian border rectifications and population exchange; "Treaty of Sevres pact" was the 1920 treaty that briefly assigned Eastern Thrace and the Smyrna zone to Greece.
