The Military History Museum in Austrian capital Vienna is opening an exhibit dedicated to Bulgaria during World War I.
The exhibition is entitled "The Unknown Ally - Bulgaria in World War I", and will be on from June 24, 2009, until February 21, 2010.
The exhibit has been organized in cooperation with the Military History Museum in Sofia, and includes various items including uniforms, weapons, documents, and photos, as well as a catalog in which Bulgarian and Austrian historians present different aspects of World War I.
Bulgaria participated in World War I as an ally of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Ottoman Turkey from October 1915 until its very end in October 1918.
While it was previously closer with the Russian Empire, and the Entente of Britain, France, and Russia, after the two Balkan Wars Bulgaria oriented towards Germany and Austria-Hungary in order to try to recover the vast lands and population it had lost to its former Balkan allies in Macedonia and Thrace.
Bulgarian troops fought Romanian and Russian forces as far north as the Danube delta, and forces from a total of 22 Entente nations on the Balkan front in northern Greece, including troops from Britain, France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Senegal.
Bulgaria mobilized almost 1 million men in uniform. The four-party alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Turkey, and Bulgaria fought against 30 nations from the Entente or its allies.
