Description:
Greece and Bulgaria Went to War Because of a Dog
On October 18, 1925, an unexpected incident near the border town of Petrich led to what is now known as the “Stray Dog War.“ A dog crossed the Bulgarian frontier, and when a Greek soldier chased after it, the Bulgarian soldiers mistook it for an invasion and opened fire, killing the Greek soldier. This sparked a conflict that escalated quickly.
The Greek president demanded compensation from Bulgaria, but when Bulgaria refused, Greek troops invaded and occupied the town of Petrich and its surrounding region. Small skirmishes broke out along the border, involving 10,000 Bulgarian soldiers and 20,000 Greek soldiers.
The conflict was eventually resolved by the League of Nations, which ordered a ceasefire, the withdrawal of Greek troops from Bulgaria, and for Greece to pay 45,000 pounds in compensation. Despite the resolution, around 50 people lost their lives in this short-lived but intense conflict.
Watch the video to learn more about this unusual and tragic episode in history.

Transcript:
Greece and Bulgaria went to war because of a dog.
On the 18th of October 1925, near the border town of Petrich, a dog crossed the Bulgarian frontier. A Greek soldier ran after it, which looked like an invasion to the Bulgarian soldiers, who opened fire and killed the Greek soldier. Thus, the “Stray Dog War“ started.
The Greek president demanded compensation from Bulgaria, which obviously refused, so Greek troops occupied the town of Petrich and the surrounding region, which was a real invasion.
Some small fighting brake out along the border.
10,000 Bulgarian soldiers and 20,000 Greek soldiers were involved in this conflict, which was eventually resolved by the League of Nations. They ordered a ceasefire, the withdrawal of Greek troops from Bulgaria, and for Greece to pay 45,000 pounds to Bulgaria. However, around 50 people lost their lives in this conflict.
