More importantly, the Italian Army could also free up its hands to pose a greater threat to France and South Slavia.

This further complicated the situation in the Balkans, as the Balkan States had to confront not only Romania and Bulgaria but also Germany and Italy.

The shift in the situation made it impossible for the British and French to sit idly by.

On November 27, the United Kingdom dispatched 300,000 troops from Libya and Egypt northwards to try and support Greece and South Slavia.

Although France did not move to support the Balkan States, it mobilized about 200,000 troops from its African Colonies.

The 300,000 British troops went directly to South Slavia, planning to assemble in Split, before heading north to Ljubljana.

Ljubljana is a city in the northwest of South Slavia; further west lies Italian-owned land. This location not only allowed for defense against Italy but also against a southern advance by the German Army.
