When Eder was improving railway transportation, the peace talks in London had just begun. The British Empire has not yet experienced two wars. Although it is not as prosperous as it was in the Victorian era, it is still so majestic and inviolable in the eyes of the Balkan countries.
Representatives from various countries in the Balkans have already arrived in London to await representatives from the Ottoman Empire. They include Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dirasloch, Serbian Foreign Minister Milanovic, Greek Foreign Minister Konstantin, Montenegrin Foreign Minister Nidnoyav, and Romanian Foreign Minister Barno.
In Skok, all European powers sent representatives to participate in the London negotiations. The Ottoman representative, Foreign Minister Kahvich, also arrived in London on December 11.
During the negotiations that began on the 12th, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Diras Loch took the lead in handing over the conditions proposed by the Balkan countries to the Ottoman representative Foreign Minister Kahvich. The conditions were very simple, from Enez to Midi on the Black Sea.
The Ottoman European possessions west of the Jerusalem line were ceded to the Balkan countries, and all the islands on the Aegean Sea were also assigned to the Balkan countries. The treaty did not require the Ottoman Empire to pay reparations or reduce its army.
Kahvich looked at the conditions in front of him. This was a very harsh peace negotiation condition for the Ottoman Empire. However, he still did not forget his professional ethics and asked. "This condition is too harsh for the Ottoman Empire."
Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dirasloch answered him arrogantly. "This is our last condition. If you think it is too harsh, you can let the Ottoman army take it back on the battlefield."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosk. Barnosk knew what he meant and had discussed it before. Now Bulgaria still owes Romania 4,000 square kilometers of territory. The person who owes the money is the uncle. He
He had no choice but to speak out. "Romania also believes that this condition is the greatest preferential treatment for the Ottomans, and you don't want to push the border outside Istanbul."
Hearing the words of Romanian Foreign Minister Barnoske, Kahvich also had to think hard. Now Romania, the most powerful country in the Balkans, has not yet come to an end. The Ottomans have been defeated. If they join Romania, it might not be possible.
Istanbul will also be captured by the Balkan countries.
The words of Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dirasloch also received a response from Serbian Foreign Minister Milanovic. "This is the opinion of all the Balkan countries, and I hope you will consider it. I forgot to mention that Serbia has already dispatched an army.
Protect the front line with Bulgaria."
After Kahvich heard the words of Serbian Foreign Minister Milanovic, he felt bad in his heart. They had long known that a Serbian army had arrived outside Adrianople. After all, the military uniforms were different and easy to identify, but they did not know the size.
.Now that he heard it in person, he didn’t know how to answer.
"I need to report the conditions you gave me to the government for a decision. I'm sorry."
Foreign Minister Kahvich said a few words and hurriedly left with the Ottoman negotiators, leaving only a few others behind.
After watching the Ottoman representative Foreign Minister Kahvich leave in embarrassment, the representatives of the Balkan countries present laughed loudly. This was the best ridicule of the people of the Balkan countries towards the Ottomans who had oppressed them in the past.
The conditions imposed by the Balkan countries on the Ottoman Empire were reported back to the country by Minister Kahvich. Their harsh conditions made the government shocked and angry. However, facing the 700,000 troops of the Balkan countries, they had no good solution. Before, they found
It has passed Austria-Hungary and Germany, but how can they support the performance of the Ottoman army, so there is no good way to do this.
However, the government's predicament allowed the opposition Ottoman Shabab to see an opportunity. The Shabab had previously ceded Libya, which had shaken their prestige in the Ottoman Empire. The Free Peace Party took the opportunity to overthrow the Ottoman Shabaab in July 1912.
regime, but relied on the military prestige of party leader Enver to retain the United Progress Committee. Now faced with the situation where the Ottomans were about to cede territory again, the Shabaab saw an opportunity.
At a secret meeting within Al-Shabaab, Enver said to the members of Al-Shabaab. "You have all seen that the Free and Peace Party members accused us of al-Shabaab's cession of Libya as a traitor. But they faced the cession of Macedonia and Thrace.
The region showed no mercy, and even claimed that it could not win and had to sue for peace. But everyone saw that the newly appointed army commander-in-chief Nizam Pasha was a man who knew nothing about military affairs. Look at him fighting
It took only one month for the 350,000 elite Ottoman army to be exhausted by him, and the enemy was about to invade the city. For the sake of the Ottoman motherland, we must take action."
His words resonated within the Al-Shabaab party, which was dominated by young students, military officers, and intellectuals, and they began to prepare to overthrow the government of the Freedom and Peace Party.
The leader of the Youth Party in this speech, Enver, whose full name is Ismail Enver Pasha, was born in Constantinople on November 22, 1881. He came from an Albanian family. His father was the local governor.
Bridge native, his mother was an Albanian farmer. In 1903, he graduated from the Military Academy in Istanbul. In 1906 he became a major and was sent to the Third Army, stationed in Salonika. During this time he joined a local army called
"United Progress Committee" organization.
In 1908, countries such as Austria-Hungary, Tsarist Russia and the United Kingdom planned to split the weak Ottoman Empire. The Young Turks announced their "opposition to the government and the Revere Agreement", demanded "liberty, equality, fraternity" and launched an overthrow of the Sudan.
Revolution. Enver joined the revolutionary army at this time and became its leader. After successfully seizing power, he strongly invited Germany to establish a military alliance and asked Germany to help reform the Ottoman Empire's army.
Therefore, the German government prefers Enver to favor their Ottoman high-level officials, and this is what they do. When Enver was preparing to change the current situation of the Ottomans through a coup, the German government increased its funding for him, giving him monthly
The 200,000 marks were increased to 500,000 marks. He also provided help and convenience to his actions through the military advisory group and ambassador in the Ottoman Empire.
The current Ottoman government has no knowledge of this and is still discussing negotiations. However, in the face of the conditions of the Balkan countries that will not give in at all, they are preparing to accept this humiliating condition.
At this time, Al-Shabaab was ready for a reactionary coup. On January 23, 1913, marked by the shooting death of Army Commander-in-Chief Nizam Pasha in front of the army department, Al-Shabaab launched a coup. The government did not respond to their coup at all.
There was no defense. These al-Shabaab members bloodbathed senior government officials, including the current Prime Minister Mahathir Khaled and many other high-level officials died in this coup.
After Al-Shabaab came to power, they tore up the armistice agreements with the Balkan countries, and the war in the Balkans began again.
