Fort Roupel is a fortress on the northern border of central Macedonia in Greece, built in 1914 because this place is of strategic importance for access to either Greek or Bulgarian territory. During World War I, on May 25, 1916, the Royal Greek Government of Athens allowed the fortress to be surrendered to the Germans and their Bulgarian allies as a counterweight to the Allied forces stationed in Thessaloniki. The German-Bulgarian troops then occupied most of East Macedonia without resistance.
