-The '''First Balkan War''' was fought between the Balkan League and the Ottoman Empire which was still entangled in a war against the Italians. During the course of the war, the [[Balkan League]] (Serbia, Montenegro, [[Greece]] and Bulgaria) first liberated Ottoman-held [[Macedonia]], [[Epirus]] and most of [[Thrace]] and then fell out over the division of the spoils, Bulgaria suffering defeat at the hands of her former allies (see [[Second Balkan War]]) and losing much of what she had gained in the original conflict.

 With the advent of independence of the Christian states in the Balkans ([[Greece]], Serbia, Bulgaria), inevitably tensions arose. The new states were smaller than the historic pre-Ottoman nations. Many persons were still left outside the borders of their respective nation-state. Furthermore, there were conflicts not only between these Balkan states and the Ottoman Empire but also among themselves. Rival armed gangs appeared in Macedonia fighting not only the Turks but also each other.
-Tensions among the Balkan states over their rival aspirations in Macedonia subsided somewhat following intervention by the [[Great Powers]] around 1908, aimed at securing both fuller protection for the province's Christian majority and protection of the status quo. The question of Ottoman rule's viability revived, however, after the [[Young Turk revolution]] of July [[1908]] compelled the Sultan to restore the suspended Ottoman constitution.
