twice the area in Europe that had been left her by the treaty of London.
The Balkan wars had left a bitterness of feeling behind them which might easily lead to other trouble. Austria was dissatisfied with the final settlement. Serbia had become larger and stronger and was thus able to form a more effective barrier to her ambitions in the direction of the Ægean. Her disappointment as to the results was so keen that she would probably have gone to war against Serbia in 1913 if Italy had not declined to support her. Montenegro, too, felt aggrieved in that Scutari had been wrenched from her and added to Albania. Serbia had a new cause of complaint against Austria. The creation of the Kingdom of Albania, for which Austria and Italy were responsible, cut her off from the sea and robbed her, as she considered, of the choicest fruits of her victory over Turkey. Then, too, the national aspirations of the Serbians had been greatly increased, because their recent successes had encouraged a new hope that her further territorial ambitions might be realized. Bulgaria felt that the treaty of Bucharest was unfair to her and was hoping for an opportunity to revise it. Besides, the ill-feeling of the Bulgars toward the Serbs and Greeks had been intensified.
