Bulgaria’s history traces back to the Thracians before becoming part of the Roman and Byzantine Empires. The First Bulgarian Empire was established in 681, later falling under Ottoman rule for nearly 500 years. Bulgaria gained independence in 1908 but faced political turmoil in the 20th century, including alignment with Nazi Germany and subsequent communist rule under Soviet influence. In 1989, it transitioned to democracy and has since joined NATO and the EU, steadily developing its economy and infrastructure.
