London Peace Conference or the Conference of the Ambassadors
The Balkan (Turkish, Greek, Montenegran and Serbian) delegates at the peace conference in London. The London Conference of 19121913, also known as the London Peace Conference or the Conference of the Ambassadors, was an international summit of the six Great Powers of that time (Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia and Italy) convened in December 1912 due to the successes of the Balkan League armies against the Ottoman Empire in the First Balkan War. In particular, the conference intended to arbitrate between the warring powers as to territorial acquisitions, and also to determine the future of Albania, whose independence was proclaimed during the conflict. The London Peace Conference was attended by those delegates from the Balkan allies (including Greece) who had not signed the previous armistice, as well as Ottoman Empire (depicted here). The treaty was signed on 30th May 1913, but further disputes led to the Second Balkan War breaking out on 16th June 1913. Date: circa 1912

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The London Peace Conference: A Pivotal Moment in Balkan History. This historic photograph captures a significant moment during the London Peace Conference of 1912-1913, also known as the Conference of the Ambassadors. The conference was convened by the six major European powers - Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Italy - to address the territorial disputes arising from the First Balkan War. In the image, delegates from the Ottoman Empire, represented by the red fez hats, and the Balkan allies, including Greece, Montenegro, Serbia, and Bulgaria, are depicted in deep discussion. The First Balkan War, which began in October 1912, saw the Balkan League, an alliance of Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro, successfully pushing back the Ottoman forces. The conference aimed to arbitrate between the warring powers and determine the future of Albania, whose independence had been proclaimed during the conflict. The London Peace Conference was attended by delegates from the Balkan allies who had not yet signed the previous armistice, as well as representatives from the Ottoman Empire. The treaty was signed on May 30, 1913, but further disputes between the Balkan allies led to the outbreak of the Second Balkan War on June 16, 1913. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex diplomatic landscape of Europe on the brink of the First World War. The London Peace Conference marked a pivotal moment in Balkan history, shaping the political landscape of the region for decades to come.
