Pre-war Military Planning (South East Europe)

Nations of South East Europe had just ended a short but very intense period of war when, one by one, they became involved in global conflict. Some were forced in while others were attracted by opportunities to change their position and enlarge their territories. One of the main characteristics of this period is that while previous conflicts were continued, they were closely interconnected with the goals of the Great Powers.
