Quick Summary

The Radomir Rebellion was a brief but significant uprising in Bulgaria during World War I. Following a major Allied breakthrough on the Macedonian front in September 1918, the Bulgarian army began to dissolve. Many soldiers deserted and marched towards Sofia, intending to punish those responsible for the war.

At Radomir, rebel troops proclaimed Bulgaria a republic. However, this rebellion was short-lived. Forces loyal to Tsar Ferdinand, including German and Macedonian units, repulsed the assault on Sofia. Despite this temporary success, the Bulgarian government sought an armistice, and Tsar Ferdinand abdicated shortly thereafter.1
