When the Second Balkan War began, the Ottoman Empire looked to regain its lost territories from Bulgaria. Enver Pasha led an army to take back Adrianople, which it had lost a few months ago. Since Bulgaria needed to pull many troops from Adrianople to fight against Serbia and Greece, the remaining troops were greatly outnumbered by the advancing Turks and preferred to retreat without a fight. Enver Pasha continued to march deeper into Bulgarian territory, but was ordered to stop by the Sultanate due to pressure from the Great Powers.
