Did Bulgaria have colonies during World War 1?
i do not think so... the great powers from Western Europe had colonies (like France, England, Holland and so on).. i think a country must be a naval power and also to have a strong army to be able to have colonies, which Bulgaria was not. And the run for colonies started much earlier before Bulgaria was independent (1878) my opinion: Bulgaria did not have colonies
