1917 Salonika Offensive

The 1917 Salonika Offensive was a military campaign during World War I where Allied forces, mainly from Britain and France, attacked the Central Powers' positions in the Salonika Front in Greece. Aiming to push back the Bulgarian and Ottoman armies, the offensive sought to weaken the Central Powers’ eastern flank and support the broader Allied war effort. Despite initial progress and claiming some strategic successes, the campaign was challenging due to difficult terrain, strong enemy defenses, and logistical issues. Overall, it contributed to the wider Allied strategy but did not lead to a decisive breakthrough in the region.
