Description

Since at least 1876, Britains policy toward Bulgaria had been derivative of her policy toward the Turkish Straits, and it thus continued to be so during the period from the conclusion of the Armistice of Salonika until the signature of the Treaty of Neuilly. British policy was the main factor in shaping the Treaty of Neuilly and therefore exercised an important influence on the simultaneously unfolding Bulgarian power struggle and on setting that countrys political agenda for years to come.

Reviews

Britain, Bulgaria, and the Paris Peace Conference, 1918-1919: A Just and Lasting Peace makes an important contribution to understanding the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and the resulting division of Europe into victors and vanquished. In this study, Patrick J. Treanor shows his excellent grasp of British and Bulgarian domestic politics, demonstrating how both nations influenced the 1919 peacemaking process. Most importantly, this well-researched and eloquently written study is a powerful investigation into the consequences of wartime loss.--Richard C. Hall, Georgia Southwestern State University
Patrick J. Treanor has written an eminently readable and interesting contribution to modern Bulgarian history, a topic which remains largely unknown in the West. This book tackles important topics, the consequences of which Bulgaria and other Balkan countries still struggle with today, and also contributes to the historiography of European diplomacy.--Christian Axboe Nielsen, Aarhus University
