The Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine was the peace treaty between Bulgaria and the Allied powers after the First World War, signed in a suburb of Paris. Bulgaria, which had fought on the side of the Central Powers, had to give up Western Thrace, which cut its access to the Aegean Sea and went to Greece, along with some small border areas to Yugoslavia. It had to pay heavy reparations, and its army was limited to a small force of 20,000 men. The loss of territory populated by Bulgarians left bitterness and refugees, and revisionism became a lasting theme in Bulgarian politics between the wars. Bulgaria kept the southern Dobruja only until 1940, when it was recovered.
