Bulgaria, a Balkan country on the Black Sea in southeastern Europe, was conquered
by the Bulgars, an Asiatic tribe, in the 7th century. The Bulgarian kingdoms
continued to exist until the east bulgarian kingdom came under turkish rule in
1393, and the west kingdom in 1396. Bulgaria was made a principality under
Turkish suzerainty in 1878. Became a independent Bulgarian kingdom in 1908. A
People's Republic was established after WWII. A new republican government was
elected in 1991. For a more detailed
country profile, see CIA World Factbook on Bulgaria.
