"On March 26th, 1881, Prince Carol was crowned as King Carol I of Romania, marking the country's transition from a principality to a kingdom. | |||
Romania stayed out of the First Balkan War, but allied with Greece and Serbia in the Second Balkan War. Bulgaria was dissatisfied with the outcome of the First Balkan War and attacked Serbia and Greece. Romania declared war on Bulgaria on July 10th, 1913, after mobilizing its army on July 5th, aiming to take over Southern Dobruja. On the same day, a section of the Romanian army entered Dobruja and took control of a line from Tutrakan to Balchik, and later the port of Varna. Bulgaria sought a truce when Romanian forces reached the outskirts of Sofia, its capital. The Treaty of Bucharest made Bulgaria cede most of the lands it gained in the First Balkan War to Serbia, Greece and the Ottoman Empire, and also give up some territory to Romania. | |||
Romania secured South Dobruja (also known as Quadrilateral) as a result of the war. | |||
