Abstract:
The outlet of Bulgaria on the Aegean constituted a fundamental aim ofBulgarian foreign policy during the inter-war period. The Neuilly Treaty(27.11.1919) and the special convention of the Sèvres on Western Thrace(10.8.1920) provided for an economic outlet. Bulgaria, however, insistedupon a territorial outlet, its maximum objective being an autonomous Thrace,both Eastern and Western, and its minimum autonomy for Western Thraceunder Allied control. In its struggle against the Peace Settlement, Bulgariasupported Turkey during the Greek-Turkish War, rejected the favourableGreek offers at the Lausanne Conference and fomented unrest in WesternThrace. Although Greek sovereignty over this region was reaffirmed at Lausanne,Bulgaria continued to regard the question as open, despite the factthat there were no more Bulgarians in Western Thrace.
