Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian Army was created immediately after the Liberation of Bulgaria from the five-century Ottoman rule. During the different periods of the development of the third Bulgarian state, it bears different names: Bulgarian Land Army (1878–1879), Bulgarian Army (1879–1946), Bulgarian People’s Army (1946– 1990) and Bulgarian Army after 1990. It includes the three types of armed forces: the Land Forces, the Navy and the Air Force. The main tasks of the Bulgarian Army are related to the protection of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country and the implementation of the national foreign policy by military means. She took part in five wars after the Liberation, in which she showed high moral and combat qualities. In addition, she was involved in achieving domestic political goals, carrying out five coups, from 1878 to 1944. During the socialist period of Bulgaria's development, our army was a member of the Warsaw Pact Organization, and after the democratic changes, it became a member of NATO.
