Sofia: Discussion of Proposal to Influence Bulgarian Government

21 Sep 1939

A file of correspondence discussing a proposal to influence the Bulgarian government via a prominent Bulgarian citizen named Nitti. The letters suggest that this may be a way to remove Bulgaria from its alleged pro-Nazi stance. The file contains a reply from the Foreign Office stating that they feel this is unlikely to be worthwhile, since the Bulgarian government is already as sympathetic to Britain as its circumstances allow, and criticising previous British and French policy towards Bulgaria, which they see as having alienated it.
