Βουλγαρία

2025-10-30 17:02:39 UTC

Η Βουλγαρία (βουλγαρικά: България‎‎), επίσημα Δημοκρατία της Βουλγαρίας (βουλγαρικά: Република България‎‎, μεταγρ. Republika Bǎlgariya / Ρεπούμπλικα Μπαλγκάρια) είναι χώρα της νοτιοανατολικής Ευρώπης. Βρέχεται στα ανατολικά από τη Μαύρη Θάλασσα, ενώ συνορεύει με την Ελλάδα στα νότια, την Τουρκία στα ανατολικά, τη Βόρεια Μακεδονία στα δυτικά, τη Ρουμανία και τη Σερβία στα βόρεια. Φυσικό σύνορο μεταξύ της Ρουμανίας και της Βουλγαρίας αποτελεί ο ποταμός Δούναβης. Με έκταση 110.994 τετραγωνικά χιλιόμετρα, η Βουλγαρία είναι η 16η σε έκταση χώρα της Ευρώπης. Η θέση της την έχει καταστήσει σταυροδρόμι διαφόρων πολιτισμών και ως τέτοιο ανέδειξε μερικά από τα αρχαιότερα μεταλλουργικά, θρησκευτικά και άλλα πολιτιστικά τεχνουργήματα στον κόσμο.

Προϊστορικοί πολιτισμοί άρχισαν να αναπτύσσονται στα Βουλγαρικά εδάφη κατά τη Νεολιθική περίοδο. Η αρχαία ιστορία της γνώρισε την παρουσία των Θρακών και αργότερα των Ελλήνων και των Ρωμαίων. Η εμφάνιση ενός ενιαίου Βουλγαρικού κράτους ανάγεται στην ίδρυση της Πρώτης Βουλγαρικής Αυτοκρατορίας το 681 μ.Χ., που κυριάρχησε στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος των Βαλκανίων και λειτούργησε ως πολιτιστικός πυρήνας για τους Σλαβικούς λαούς κατά τον Μεσαίωνα. Με την κατάρρευση της Δεύτερης Βουλγαρικής Αυτοκρατορίας το 1396, τα εδάφη της περιήλθαν στην Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία για πέντε σχεδόν αιώνες. Ο Ρωσοτουρκικός πόλεμος (1877-1878) δημιούργησε το Τρίτο Βουλγαρικό Κράτος. Τα επόμενα χρόνια έζησε πολλές συγκρούσεις με τους γείτονές του, γεγονός που ώθησε τη Βουλγαρία να συμμαχήσει με τη Γερμανία και στους δύο Παγκόσμιους Πολέμους. Το 1946 έγινε Σοσιαλιστικό κράτος με μονοκομματικό σύστημα. Το 1989 το Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα επέτρεψε πολυκομματικές εκλογές, μετά τις οποίες η Βουλγαρία στράφηκε στη δημοκρατία και στην οικονομία της αγοράς.
