Договорите, предопределили съдбата на България (1878 – 1947 г.)
The Treaties which Predetermined the Fate of Bulgaria (1878–1947)

Summary/Abstract: This research examines the nature of the treaty as an important written act for diplomacy. The theoretical view on the structure of the international treaty is important to understand the essence of the policy, moves, and mistakes of Bulgarian diplomacy in the period from 1878 to 1947. In this long period of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom, its development was determined by several significant treaties: San Stefano (1878), Berlin (1878), Bucharest and Tophanen (1886), London, Bucharest, and Constantinople (1913), Noi (1919), Craiova (1940), and Paris (1947). An important point is the in-depth analysis of the treaties themselves and the role of the great powers in Bulgaria's development. Very important are the questions about the consequences of these treaties. They are directly connected with the decisions and influence of one or another great power in Bulgaria. They are also important for the difficult elections of the Bulgarian authorities, which are often dictated by the country's special geopolitical location.
