    Wrong. Throughout WWII the main force in Yugoslavia were the partisans (I'm talking about ground troops). Near the war's end in the final operations they were supported by the Red Army and to a lesser extent the Bulgarian army.

    In order to make a war you need intention, a provocation (a false one usually is enough) and ability. None of the three seemed to exist at the moment.
    The intention of the Macedonians to retake Solun was there, and no one should question their ability since they too were hardened by several years of warfare. Unfortunately the provocation never happened because their wish was not supported by Belgrade.
