The Background: A long time ago, in 1925, there were two countries called Greece and Bulgaria. These countries were neighbors, but they didn't get along very well. They both had soldiers guarding their borders to make sure no one crossed into the other country without permission.

The Incident: One day, a Greek soldier was playing with his dog near the border. The dog, just being playful, ran across the border into Bulgaria. The Greek soldier, not thinking much, ran after his dog to bring it back.

A long time ago, in 1925, there were two countries called Greece and Bulgaria. These countries were neighbors, but they didn’t get along very well. They both had soldiers guarding their borders to make sure no one crossed into the other country without permission.

The Problem: When the Greek soldier crossed the border, the Bulgarian soldiers saw him and thought he was trying to invade their country. This made them very angry and worried. They didn’t know he was just chasing his dog. The Bulgarian soldiers shot at the Greek soldier, and sadly, he was killed.

The Reaction:

Greece Gets Angry: When Greece found out their soldier was killed, they got very angry. They thought Bulgaria did it on purpose and wanted to show they were strong and couldn’t be treated this way.

Bulgaria Gets Ready: Bulgaria, on the other hand, got ready for a possible fight. They were worried Greece might try to attack them.

The Conflict: For a short time, there was a lot of tension between the two countries. Both sides brought more soldiers to the border, and it looked like there might be a big fight or even a war.

The Resolution:

Help from Others: Other countries saw what was happening and wanted to help stop the fight. The League of Nations, which was a group of countries working together to keep peace, stepped in to help.

Talking it Out: They talked to both Greece and Bulgaria and helped them calm down. They explained that it was just an accident and that fighting wouldn’t solve anything.

Peace Again: After talking, Greece and Bulgaria agreed to stop the conflict. Greece paid a fine to Bulgaria, and they both pulled their soldiers back from the border.
