Definition
- Bulgaria is an eastern European country on the Black Sea, bordered by Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, and Turkey. A former empire and the cultural hub of Slavic civilization in the Middle Ages, it became part of the Ottoman Empire in the 14th century; it gained its independence shortly before the dissolution of that empire at the close of World War I. After World War II, it became a Communist republic but transitioned into a capitalist democracy after 1989, concurrent with the fall of eastern European Communism.
