London Peace Conference or the Conference of the Ambassadors

The Balkan (Turkish, Greek, Montenegran and Serbian) delegates at the peace conference in London. The London Conference of 1912-1913, also known as the London Peace Conference or the Conference of the Ambassadors, was an international summit of the six Great Powers of that time (Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia and Italy) convened in December 1912 due to the successes of the Balkan League armies against the Ottoman Empire in the First Balkan War. In particular, the conference intended to arbitrate between the warring powers as to territorial acquisitions, and also to determine the future of Albania, whose independence was proclaimed during the conflict. The London Peace Conference was attended by those delegates from the Balkan allies (including Greece) who had not signed the previous armistice, as well as Ottoman Empire (depicted here). The treaty was signed on 30th May 1913, but further disputes led to the Second Balkan War breaking out on 16th June 1913
