Significance

The Battle of Dojran was fought between Bulgarian and Greek forces during the Second Balkan War in June 1913. Bulgarian casualties recorded at between 2,000 and 4,000 indicate the engagement was costly for that side, though the recorded outcome offers no further indication of which party held the field. The Second Balkan War arose from disputes among former allies over the territorial gains of the First Balkan War, and engagements along the Bulgarian-Greek front contributed to the broader erosion of Bulgarian military capacity that ultimately led to Bulgaria's defeat and the Treaty of Bucharest.
