Bulgaria Self-Revealed Documents

Written by Victor Kuhne 1909... it's 300 pages long and may be useful for finding information about Bulgarian propaganda. I'll only post a sample of what's in here:

But success not proving contion-\uous,
the future remaining obscure, deceived in their
hopes,they set themselves to abate their demands. Having
almost forgotten Macedonia for a time, they came back to
it anew, as the Germany of Bemhardi returned to the
notions of humanity and pacificism. Hardly had tens of thousands of pamphlets been distributed throughout
Bulgaria concerned with the liberation
of Macedonia " reduced to slavery,"than the Frankfurter
Zeitungof October 15th, 1915, assigned two other objects
to the Bulgarian adventure :
The annihilation of Serbia,
A common frontier with Austria-Hungary.

Especially during the last three months preceding the
Bulgarian attack, the Press Bureau bombarded the newspapers
with communiques about " the reign of terror in
Macedonia," quoting names, dates and facts,all invented
along with the documents to prove them. It was stated that
such and such a person had fallen to the Serbian knife
or met with a horrible death in a Serbian prison

Its object is
not only to conquer Macedonia, a conquest which the King of
Bulgaria emphasises very particularly in his manifesto, but
also to extend its boundaries to Central Europe, and thus obtain
free passage for its agricultural produce to the markets of the
Central Empires."

According to the estimate of Sofia,ten years of peace
would have sufficed for Bulgariato assimilate Macedonia
from the ethnographicpointof view, and ensure a durable
prestigein the Balkans.

"It is for this that the Minister Pecheff has not hesitated
to draft a law on the organisation of Bulgarian schools in the
Morava and Macedonia. It remains now with the Bulgarian
teachers in the new provinces to prepare a solid basis for Bulgarian
culture. So we may hope for the day when the figure of Bulgaria
ivill tower a loft from the Black Sea to the mountains of Albania,
and from the Danube to Prespa and the Egean."

' The Balkan question
is already settled. What will be the ultimate fate of Serbia ?
What will her new frontiers be ? I do not want to expatiate
on this subject,but one thing is certain : Serbia will never
possess Macedonia ; that province now forms an integral part
of Bulgaria,and it will remain Bulgarian.'Thus Radoslavoff
laid down the minimum of the Bulgarian demands.

I have insisted, above aU, on the truth that such conflicts
arose principally from the fact that the authorities had placed
there as functionaries of police mere criminals fresh from the
cells. To prove what I said, I threw in the face of the Minister
of the Interior photographs of some of these characters, photographs
hearing their numbers in the prison registers. Such are the persons
who exercise administrative functions to-day in unhappy Mdaocnei-a."
(Preporetz, August nth, 1916.)
Unhappy Macedonia ! The Bulgars, however, even
after such edifying revelations of violence committed in
the new provinces, and on the corruption that reigns there,
still declare that they made war only to make Macedonia
happy.

After their intervention in 1915, the Bulgars employed
the same tactics. They established a reign of terror in
the conquered Serbian provinces,whilst complaining cuen-asingly
of atrocities committed, according to them, by
the English and French soldiers in Macedonia.
