Once an American reviewing the Bulgarian history summed it up that the Bulgarian identity was formed by the struggle against the Greco-Romans for independence and resistance against hellenization of the people/tribes inhabiting Moesia, Thrace and Macedonia, which is what drove Thracians, Slavs, Bulgars, Goths, Wallachians, Cumans an as many as over 30 ethnicities throughout the ages to intermingle and form the Bulgarian ethnicity.

I noticed how many commentators are surprised by the Bulgarian opening bid in the negotiations. I.e a defeated power asking for territory in the peace treaty. This is actually standard diplomatic practice in the 1850-1920 period, even today. You always open negotiations with a maximalist bid , since that maximizes your ability to "sacrifice" claims in order to build a image of accommodation. You make big claims in the hope that you can sacrifice them in order to keep what you really want. The Ottomans also opened their negotiations with maximalist calims (including Bulgarian territory). The question is if the claims you make are so spurious that everybody knows they are empty talk. i.e there is a fine line behind sacrificing something that pains you for keeping what you really want, and sacrificing empty dreams for keeping something you really want. But again, the Bulgarian state negotiations tactic is standard practice.

My great-grandfather Vasil Dimitrov who was given a Cross for Bravery during the combats in Dobrudja in 1916, died in the battles in what is now called Northern Macedonia, at Elevation 1050, near Bitola, defending the local Bulgarian population with his brothers in arms from the 8th Marine Regiment of Varna on the last day before it all ended there. September 28, 1918. Strangely, his granddaughter, my mother, was born on the same day 22 years later... His name is still standing on the memorial gates of the 8th Regiment in Varna, Bulgaria, with other almost 700 names of soldiers and officers from the regiment who sacrificed themselves during the Balkan Wars and the Great War. His grave, however, is unknown due to the policy of the Yugoslavian government after the war to clean up all traces of any Bulgarian presence in Macedonia including destruction of graveyards and memorials. Never forget Neuilly! Glory to Bulgaria! Some day Justice will prevail! 🇧🇬 P.S. for the record: the Bitola Inscription from the XI century says Ivan Vladislav, King of Bulgaria, nephew of Samuil, King of Bulgaria, built the fortress of Bitola for the Bulgarians. This little note is to all who will try to ask ridiculous questions about the presence of Bulgarians in what is (for now) known as Northern Macedonia and their attempts to unite the lost Bulgarian lands with predominant Bulgarian population.

I think it would have been better if we had come to a better agreement about Macedonia, and if we had not struck brother against brother in 1913 and lots of Serbs are really sorry for what Tito did for both Bulgarian and Serbian nation.

"borders on itself" what a great quote

18:39 Mixing Metric and Imperial measurements never ends well.

20:07 - You can argue that the ideal for national unification had dated back to Bulgaria's liberation, following the treaty of San Stefano 1878 and later the same year the Berlin congress which carved up Bulgarian lands, leaving less than a third of them intact. It's one of those sick jokes of history where the Russians gave us our dream state, only together with the great powers to take most of it away later

Great episode - thank you a lot for the effort. I have only one small remark - breaking the pen after signing the treaty is one of these classical myths in history - you know, to show that ever beaten you have the upper hand.

Actually, the actions of Stamboliyski during the rebellion are not so clear. We know that together with representatives of other political parties he did give speeches to the insurgent soldiers urging them to at least wait until the coming armistice becomes a fact. It was his close associate Rayko Daskalov who took command of the rebels and proclaimed the so called "Radomir Republic" with Stamboliyski as head of state; the actual participation of the agrarian leader into this segment of the events is quite doubtful. He certainly knew he could be suspected though as he went into hiding during the bloody aftermath.

I`m so sick that Western Europeans are drawing borders in the Balkans ever since Russians and Balkanians drove Ottomans from these lands. Same happened in the Middle East that is actually West Asia where British were drawing the borders so no wonder 100yrs later majority of ethnic conflicts are in these areas and somehow Brits and US are always involved. Time for us in the Balkans to take our fate in our own hands, we have very similar cultural backround, very rich history that is one of the oldest and most important in the World, why would we be puppet states of crony Western elite? We should make our own decentralized union of independent states with open borders, open economy between us not foreign capital allowed and military alliance.

If you research the topic you will find many documents which are providing facts. Vmro was Macedonian revolutionaries organisation which main goal was Macedonian independence or autonomy in with in Bulgarian state. Protugerov and Aleksandrov only they supported Bulgarian they ware promised autonomy in Bulgarian state and reunification to all Macedonian from VARDAR , Pirin and Aegean Macedonia . Macedonian ware forced out from Aegean Macedonia over 300k population all over the world ethnic cleansing exchange of population with Turkey done by new Greek state originally created by Bavarian king Otto 1833 -1863 then his successor was king George . This exchange of population totally change the demographics to Aegean Macedonia Second ethnic cleansing was done in post Second World War during Civil war Macedonian ware on side of the Greek communist party they ware promised recognition and autonomy in new Greek post communist state. Unfortunately again Macedonian struggle did not aligned with geopolitical interests of the British and French. Finally we got our independence 1945 as part of federation of Yugoslavia

Minor mapping mistake spotted; at some points in the video you show the territory Bulgaria ceded to Greece as being exactly identical to the Greek province of Thrace. That is not 100% correct though. While most of Greek (AKA "western") Thrace was indeed held by Bulgaria between 1912 to 1919, the area that is adjacent to Adrianople(the northern part of the Evros district) as well as a small piece to the south near the river delta, actually remained in ottoman control until the end of WWI and the finalization of Greek-Turkish border, so the area Bulgaria controlled did not exactly correspond with the modern Greek province of Thrace, at least when it comes to some parts near the Turkish border... lots of other videos make this mistake on their maps because it's an easy to miss detail and they tend to copy each other so the error gets repeated, but it is incorrect.

I looked for sources in Bulgarian but found only records of its service against the Russians. Apparently it was sank after the end of WWI and found in Bulgarian waters near Varna 2011. Given the strong Soviet/Russian influence in Bulgaria, which is only beginning to wane now, it is quite possible that the story was suppressed as were many other stories of Bulgarians fighting Russians. (See the video on General Ivan Kolev in this series.) I learned of the battle of Balchik only now. The Wikipedia page in Bulgarian adds nothing more to the one in English:
