The founding of the branch of the National Bank of Greece in Thessaloniki and the Greek-Bulgarian relations (1912-1913)
Abstract
This work is based on unedited material of the Historical Archives of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs and of the National Bank of Greece. It is a research into the Greek-Bulgarian relations during the crucial period of 1912-13, mainly on the founding of branches of National Banks of both countries in Thessaloniki.
In their effort, to contest the Greek supremacy of the town and to produce rights of sovereignty as well, the Bulgarians imposed parallel authorities, military as well as administrative and economic. Thus the case of the hasty founding of the branch of the Bulgarian National Bank (Bälgarska Narodna Banca).
This act obliged the Greek government to expedite the founding of a branch of the National Bank of Greece in Thessaloniki in spite of the fact that — in view of the definitive arrangement concerning the frontier with the signing of an international peace treaty — it was not a favourable time either politically or economically.
