November 1885 CE

Greece and Serbia see their interests threatened.

Serbia is opposed to this strengthening of its rival, Bulgaria.

After the coup, King Milan Obrenović, who also hopes that an aggressive foreign policy will relieve his domestic problems, demands that Bulgaria cede some of its territory to Serbia.

In spite of active international diplomatic efforts to discourage him, Milan, encouraged by Austria and stating that the balance of power in the Balkans is endangered by Bulgarian unification, suddenly declares war on Bulgaria on November 14, 1885.
