Having achieved a majority the pro-Triple Alliance liberal coalition government continued its term and Vasil Radoslavov remained Prime Minister. The post-Balkan Wars financial situation in the country necessitated a foreign loan, and there were competing proposals from France and Germany, with the Assembly ultimately approving a proposal from the German Disconto-Gesellschaft bank on 2 July 1914. Bulgaria initially declared neutrality in World War I, however following a series of negotiations with both the Entente and the Central Powers in the summer of 1915 the country entered the war on the side of the Central Powers. General moblilzation was declared later that year and Bulgaria occupied a large part of Serbia. An occupation zone in Greece was also established after the formation of the Macedonian front and Greece's full entry into the war. Romania jointed the Entante in 1916 and Bulgaria took full control of Southern Dobruja and joint control of Northern Dobruja. Social unrest, famine and army mutinees resulted in the fall of the government. In June 1918 Tsar Ferdinand appointed Aleksandar Malinov as PM, who formed a DP-RDP government, supported by all the opposition parties in Parliament except the Narrow Socialists. After failed armistice negotiations, the government vowed to "fight until a victorious end to the war", however following the Battle of Dobro Pole, the subsequent Entante advance north and the Radomir Rebellion, the country signed an armistice on 29 September 1918 and Ferdinand abdicated on the 3rd of October. Later that month the NP, BZNS and BRSDP-o joined the coalition, however Malinov resigned after the Romanian occupation of Southern Dobruja the following month. Foreign minister Teodorov from the NP formed another national unity government, including the same parties and the PLP. In May 1919 the DP ministers were replaced.Tsurakov, Angel.
