The Bulgarian Liberation Cause through the Crucible of the Eastern Question

Summary/Abstract: In the years of Ottoman rule, the Bulgarian people leads unequal struggle for national liberation and its own state. The national liberation movement occurs in the conditions of a rivalry between the Great powers for influence on the Balkans. So the Eastern question, as they call it, arises and it becomes a painful problem in the European international relations throughout the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Our April Uprising in 1876 provokes another acute crisis in the Eastern question and turns it into Bulgarian question which occupies a central place in the diplomatic negotiations on the international scene. In the course of the dramatic, backstage negotiations between the Great powers stand out the complicated and painful vicissitudes which the Bulgarian liberation cause passes over. It achieves the revival of the Bulgarian state but fatefully misses its national liberation. The majority of the Bulgarians leave their country to face new challenges in the name of the Bulgarian integrity.
