Siege Of Adrianople (1913)
The siege of Adrianople was a 1913 siege by the Ottoman Empire of Adrianople (modern-day Edirne, Turkey), which was defended by Bulgaria during the Second Balkan War. The Ottoman Empire recaptured Edirne. History The Ottoman army under the command of Enver Pasha entered Adrianople on 22 July 1913. Edirne, Kırklareli and Dimetoka were taken back. The Bulgarians could not show much resistance as they were being attacked from every region, and Edirne (Adrianople) came under Turkish rule again. The Ottoman Empire won its last victory in the Balkans and did not lose a great deal of territory in Thrace until the First World War. Against the capture of the city by the Turkish forces on July 21, the re-inclusion of Edirne in the Ottoman lands became official only with the Treaty of Constantinople (1913) signed with the Kingdom of Bulgaria The Tsardom of Bulgaria (), also known as the Third Bulgarian Tsardom (), usually known in English as the Kingdom of Bulgaria, or simply Bulg ...

June 1913. Serbian and Greek armies repulsed the Bulgarian offensive and counterattacked, entering Bulgaria.

Sieges Of The Balkan Wars
A siege () . is a military blockade of a city, or fortress, with the intent of conquering by attrition, or by well-prepared assault. Siege warfare (also called siegecrafts or poliorcetics) is a form of constant, low-intensity conflict characterized by one party holding a strong, static, defensive position. Consequently, an opportunity for negotiation between combatants is common, as proximity and fluctuating advantage can encourage diplomacy. A siege occurs when an attacker encounters a city or fortress that cannot be easily taken by a quick assault, and which refuses to surrender. Sieges involve surrounding the target to block provision of supplies and reinforcement or escape of troops (a tactic known as "investment"). This is typically coupled with attempts to reduce the fortifications by means of siege engines, artillery bombardment, mining (also known as sapping), or the use of deception or treachery to bypass defenses. Failing a military outcome, sieges can often be deci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
