First Balkan war

A

8 October 1912 – 30 May 1913

  1. The Great Powers quarreled amongst themselves and failed to ensure that the Ottomans would carry out the needed reforms. This led the Balkan states to impose their own solution.
  2. Most importantly, the Balkan League had been formed, and its members were confident that it could defeat the Turks
