In addition to the exhibit, the National History Museum will mark the anniversary with a display about the battle history of the 10th infantry regiment which will be located at the Haskovo Regional History Museum, and in 3 other exhibits that will travel around the country.

The First Balkan War, which lasted from October 1912 to May 1913, pitted the Balkan League (Serbia, Greece, Montenegro and Bulgaria) against the Ottoman Empire. The combined armies of the Balkan states overcame the numerically inferior and strategically disadvantaged Ottoman armies and achieved rapid success. As a result of the war, almost all remaining European territories of the Ottoman Empire were captured and partitioned among the allies. Ensuing events also led to the creation of an independent Albanian state. Despite its success, Bulgaria, which was militarily the most powerful of the four states, with a large, well-trained and well-equipped army, was dissatisfied over the division of the spoils in Macedonia, which provoked the start of the Second Balkan War.
