The Treaty of London ended the First Balkan War, in which Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Montenegro had driven the Ottoman Empire out of most of its European territories. It was signed during a conference of ambassadors in the British capital. The Ottomans gave up all their lands west of a line running from Enos on the Aegean to Midia on the Black Sea, and surrendered Crete to the victors. The great powers also agreed to the creation of an independent Albania, which Austria-Hungary and Italy supported in order to deny Serbia an outlet to the Adriatic. The treaty left the victors to divide the conquered land among themselves, and quarrels over Macedonia led to the Second Balkan War within a month.
