Hi Friendy - my understanding is that West Thracia was part of Bulgaria at the time the Ottoman Empire entered the FWW in 1914, awarded in the Treaty of Bucharest following the Second Balkan War of 1913. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Thrace

You will see it included on our Buglaria FWW map.

I freely admit this is not an area we have specialist expertise in, so happy to be corrected if we have got this wrong. Regards, Jamie Mackay
