The Balkan wars took place in Southeast Europe in 1912 and 1913. The First Balkan War began on October 8, 1912, when Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and Serbia formed a Balkan alliance against the Ottoman Empire. The war ended with the signing of a peace treaty in London.
The Second Balkan War broke out on June 16, 1913 when Bulgaria, dissatisfied with its gains, attacked its former allies, Serbia and Greece. The war ended with the signing of a peace treaty in Bucharest.
