caption_attribution_description: English: KLEPTOROUMANIA. Punch cartoon favourable to Bulgaria, the aggressor of the Second Balkan War. King Carol I of Romania points his pistol at King Petar of Serbia and King Constantine of Greece while he steals Southern Dobrudja from the helpless Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria. The title "KLEPTOROUMANIA" is a pun on kleptomania, the mental disorder of impulsive stealing for the sake of stealing. Roumania: "SIRS, I WILL NOT STAND IDLY BY AND SEE THIS HELPLESS GENTLEMAN EXTINGUISHED." Български: Политическа карикатура на тема Втората балканска война.
context_page_description: The Treaty of Bucharest was concluded on 10 August 1913, by the delegates of Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and Greece. The Treaty was concluded in the aftermath of the Second Balkan War and amended the previous Treaty of London, which ended the First Balkan War. About one month later, the Bulgarians signed a separate border treaty with the Ottomans, who had regained some territory west of the Enos-Midia Line during the second war.
context_section_description: Bulgaria's share of the spoils, although greatly reduced, was not entirely negligible. Its net gains in territory, which embraced a portion of Macedonia, Pirin Macedonia (or Bulgarian Macedonia), including the town of Strumica, Western Thrace, and 110 km of the Aegean littoral, were about 25,030 km2, and its population was increased by 129,490.
  In addition, Bulgaria agreed to dismantle all existing fortresses and bound itself not to construct forts at Rousse or Shumen or in any of the territory between these two cities, or within a radius of 20 kilometers around Balchik.
