A preview of my next AU.



During early 1914, a Soviet and Yugoslavian-backed communist uprising seized control of the nominally autonomous Ottoman Principality of Bulgaria. The revolutionaries seized control of the region and began threatening both the Ottoman Empire and the neighboring Latin Republic lands of Dobrogea. The Sublime Porte refused to act against the newly independent state, but the Latins, eager to prevent the spread of Communism, quickly forged a Casus-belli around a border incident and began a full invasion of Bulgaria, with the intention of turning the area into an autonomous republic.



The war began on September 12th, and by the beginning of October, the II and XVI. Armées, with a grand total of 90,000 men, had largely destroyed the Bulgarian forces. However, the Communists continued to resist at Vidin, Shumen, and the region surrounding Sofia.
