Salonika Front

The Salonika Front was a military line established during World War I in the Balkan region, primarily in Greece and northeastern Greece, where Allied forces, including Britain, France, and Serbia, fought against the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. It became a strategic location after the failure of the Gallipoli campaign, serving as a distraction and supply route in the southeastern theater. The front saw trench warfare and significant battles from 1915 to 1918, contributing to the weakening of the Central Powers' southern flank and supporting eventual Allied victory in the war.
