URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=54073 A.A. Boltaevskiy Bulgarian occupation of Serbia in 1916-1918 Abstract: The article analyzes the actions of Bulgarian authorities in Macedonia in 1916-1918, which were largely driven by the idea of “Great Bulgaria”. The author demonstrates that the clashing interests of the Balkan countries pushed them to similar “ethnic cleansing” policies which were justified by the necessity of national unification. Aggressive policy of “bulgarization” of Macedonia was the extension of the “serbization” policy which took place prior to that. The fact is that Serbia and Bulgaria used the same methods to achieve a similar goal – to solidify their claim on Macedonia.
