Aftermath

BZNS formed a coalition government with the People's Party and the Progressive Liberal party. The government signed the Treaty of Neuilly. During its term several ministers from the government of Vasil Radoslavov were imprisoned, due to their involvement in Bulgaria's entry into WW1. Following a mass national transport workers' strike, Prime Minister Stamboliyski requested the tsar schedule early elections, in the hopes of achieving an outright majority in the Assembly.
