Why did Turkey get so much land, particularly eastern Thrace, when it was clearly Greek majority?

Why did Macedonia get so much land, particularly all of it, when it was clearly Bulgarian majority?
>>1849648
Because the turks there were only there from genociding or converting the local population.
>>1849648
Because the Turks held only slight plurality there.
Balkans were an absolute clusterfuck.

Inter-Ethnic violence began to emerge only after they've shattered the ethnic balance of the Balkans, you're sorely misled if you believe that it had existed before.

What year is this map from? I ask because I've never seen a map that shows such a large area of Turkish majority in NE Bulgaria. Obviously there were Turkish majorities around there, but I've never seen such a large, solid bloc of land like in this map.

Its a map of the Ottoman Empire before the Russian invasion.
