The Treaty of Neuilly.
This treaty was signed on November 27, 1919 with Bulgaria. By the terms of this treaty the western part of Bulgaria, though inhabited by a large Bulgarian majority, was ceded to Yugoslavia.
Western Trace and the Aegean coasts were ceded to Greece though Bulgaria was guaranteed access to the Aegean Sea. The army of Bulgaria was reduced to 33,000 men and her navy was practically abolished.
She was however allowed for police and fishery duties four torpedo boats and six motor boats, but all these were to be without torpedoes and torpedo apparatus. Bulgaria accepted reparation obligations and the reparations were finally fixed at $ 9,000,000 payable in 37 years commencing from January 1, 1921.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The treaty thus deprived Bulgaria of 2750 sq, miles of territory and 300,000 people and rendered her the weakest of the Balkan States in area, national resources and military power, with the solitary exception of Albania.
The Treaty of Trianon.
This treaty was signed with the national government of Hungary at Trianon on June 20, 1920. By this treaty the ancient Magyar kingdom was dissolved into its ethnic components. Rumania received Transylvania and some other territories including a part of Banat of Temesvar. Crotia and Slavonia were ceded to Yugoslavia and Slovakia to Czechoslovakia. Thus nearly 3 million of Magyars were placed under foreign rule.
Hungary’s army was reduced to 35,000 men and her navy was curtailed to a few patrol boats. She was held responsible for war-guilts and had to pay war reparation. These provisions of the treaty reduced Hungary to one-third of pre-war territory and 40 per cent of her population. This treaty also sowed the seeds of the acute racial disturbances and animosities, which occurred later.
