In 1908, new Hellenic and Bulgarian groups entered the struggle and managed to sta-
bilise themselves almost throughout the Macedonian region. The promises however of the
20
Young Turks Coup , expressed in July 1908, brought an end to the age-long and exhau-
sting Macedonian Struggle. Soon, the obvious anti-Greek stance of the Young Turks, led the
Government to the formation of the Panhellenic Organization under Panagiotis Danglis, in
order to maintain and to reinforce most of the Greek footholds in areas of Macedonia. With
the dissolution of the Panhellenic Organization in the first days of August 1909, an end was
put to the year-long Macedonian Struggle, which despite the sacrifices in blood and money
proved useful to Hellenism and paved the way for the Hellenic Army’s triumphs during the
Balkan Wars of 1912-1913. 21
