At the end of the 19th century, as the Austro-Hungarian Empire continued to penetrate Serbia, people of insight in Serbia believed that if Serbia did not expand into the Aegean region, it would sooner or later be annexed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Therefore, Serbia adopted a radical expansion policy, including a series of messy ideas, including the promotion of national separatism to various places, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent disintegration of Yugoslavia.
In addition to Macedonia, countries are also infiltrating into other regions. The most famous are the "Great Bulgaria Project" and the "Great Serbia Project"; of course, the "Great Greece Project" and the "Montenegro Project" are also indispensable.
The Great Bulgaria Project is a Bulgarian nationalist idea aimed at restoring the largest territory in Bulgarian history.
Of course, the Bulgarians have not been so stupid as to really want to restore the largest territory in history. When it is time to give up, they still choose to give up!
The target range formulated includes the plains between the Danube and the Balkan Mountains, Dobroga North-South, Sofia, Pirot, Vranje, Northern Thrace, parts of Eastern Thrace, Macedonia and other regions.
The main goals were aimed at the Turks, and they did not stupidly include all the brains of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Greece, and other countries, and even so exceeded the scope of Bulgaria's ability at that time.
The Great Serbia Plan is interesting. He is also Grand Serbia, a concept of national unity proposed by Serbian nationalists.
Well, the basic goal is to unify the areas where Serbs live, and there are also requirements for areas where Serbs are ethnic minorities.
This area is difficult to define, and advocates the establishment of a larger Serbian country in the western Balkan Peninsula in southeast Europe.
It was even worse after the trance. At the end of the 19th century, after the expansion of activists, this nation included the entire Yugoslav nation.
For the most basic goals, the area includes Serbia, Montenegro (Montenegro), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, and so on.
If according to the goals of the radicalists, the small Balkans can no longer accommodate the Great Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria are all involved, and even interested in Moldova. (Not necessarily accurate, from Baidu, for reference only)
Of course, this group of activists is only a minority of the few, and it is activism in activism, which can be understood as madness!
This is not a problem, as well as those who are affected by Pan-Lavism and openly advocate the unification of the Slavic nations around the world!
没 You are not mistaken. After the establishment of Yugoslavia after World War I, some people advocated the unification of Slavic nations around the world and the establishment of a large Slavic empire centered on Serbs! Even the great strategic idea of unifying the Soviet Union has come out!
Well, just look at it as a joke! Which country has few lunatics? In Serbia of that era, there were more crazy people!
的 Blind nationalism without economic and military strength and lack of international support will only have disastrous consequences. Grand Serbia finally became the fuse of the outbreak of World War I!
The Greeks still have self-knowledge. Perhaps it was the first "Greek-Turkish War" that awakened the Greek nationalists. The plan for Greater Greece was just a dream. After shouting two throats, I felt tired and stopped shouting!
The Yugoslavian plan of the Damon Gate was once realized in Yugoslavia, but he belonged to the unification. Anyway, was it completed? Maybe this result is not so wonderful, and later it is independent!
However, in this space and time, under the butterfly effect of Ferdinand, fundamental changes have taken place!
Of course, these plans still exist, but the "Greater Serbia Plan" just died and died.
局势 The situation in the Balkans before 1892 was basically the same as in parallel space-time, with little change. At most, the Bulgarian government built a little more church schools and a wider range.
Since the establishment of the Bulgarian-Russian Alliance, there has been an inflection point in history! First Ferdinand provoked an arms race in the Balkans, followed by a devastating economic crisis, a little bigger!
Then, beginning in 1893, due to financial reasons, the Greek and Serbian governments were forced to stop their expansion in Macedonia. After the Bulgarian war, Serbia directly closed most Serbian schools and churches!
I entered time in 1895, the original ambitious Serbia is now licking the wound and has no energy to come out to engage in the situation.
The most active now is Negro (Montenegro), who is working hard to establish the Kingdom of Montenegro!
George I, who was greedy in Greece, was still hiding in the dark, looking for a chance to give the Ottoman Empire a sap, similar to Ferdinand's idea.
The two sides agreed to export the revolution to the Ottoman Empire. Although Ferdinand set a fire, if the Greek government did not cooperate, the Greeks in Turkey would definitely not be so fierce.
The Macedonians depended on Serbs before 1860, and later turned to Bulgarians The main factor that caused this was driven by the Russian Empire.
Russians guide Macedonians closer to Bulgaria in religion and diplomacy, and the attitude of the Russian Empire has a huge impact on all people in the Balkans who believe in Orthodox Church!
After the alliance between Russia and Bulgaria, this effect is even more obvious. The Orthodox faith areas in the Balkans are moving closer to Bulgaria. Taking advantage of this, Ferdinand's government has accelerated its penetration into the Balkans.
The harder part is Romania, and watching the expansion of the Balkan countries, Carol I has no ambitions, but has nowhere to show, but can only watch the liveliness with peace of mind!
Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and Moldova to the north, Bulgaria to the south, and the Black Sea to the east.
During the Pasak War, the Romanians were ready to take a share. Unfortunately, because of relations with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they chose to support Serbia.
But Serbia failed too quickly, and before Romania had had time to mobilize nationwide, the war was over. Who can tell his neighbors in the north to be the Russian Empire? The Russian Empire is exactly an ally of Bulgaria. Romanians are afraid to bet anyway!
More than 70% of the main forces in the country were deployed in Moldova and Ukraine. Carol I was confident in his ability to use troops and did not think that a Romanian division could defeat Bulgaria.
In addition, the situation in Romania was not stable at that time, and a new round of peasant uprising may occur at any time. Carol I eventually chose to abandon the Serbs.
