Following six days of fighting, the Bulgarian army conquered all Macedonia territory east of the Struma River on August 23. Meanwhile, to the West, the Chegan offensive is stalling, as Serbian reinforcements, coupled with Bulgarian ammunition shortages, is hindering further advances beyond the recently-captured Florina.

The German East Africa defense forces suffered a defeat at the hands of the British August 24 at Mlali.

Earlier this morning, August 27, Romania entered the war on the side of the Allies, and sent three armies through barely-defended passes in the Carpathian mountains into Austro-Hungarian Transylvania. One Austrian army opposes the advance, and several villages have been lost to the Romanians. Casualties have been minimal thus far, but only because resistance has been minimal as well.
