During Ferdinand I's rule, which side was Bulgaria on during World War I?

  • Allied Powers

  • Neutral

  • Central Powers

  • Eastern Alliance

Answer

The answer to the question is that Bulgaria sided with the Central Powers during World War I, aligning itself with Germany and Austria-Hungary against the Allied forces. This stance was largely influenced by Bulgaria's historical ties with Russia and ongoing territorial disputes in the region, particularly concerning Macedonia. Joining the Central Powers offered Bulgaria the opportunity to expand its territories and secure its interests in the Balkans.
