New Bulgarian History -
Period of Wars(1912-1918); Peaceful Period (1918-1939);
Bulgaria Takes Part in the World War II (1941-1944)
After the Russian - Turkish War, the historic development passed
through several decades, so that it reached the period of wars (1912-1918), that formed
the upper boundary of the after the war historic process. It was a natural continuation of
New Bulgarian History. The basic trends in the development in economy, in the
strengthening of our Parliament democracy, in the spiritual progress of the nation and the
modernizing of Bulgarian society.
In the period of wars (1912-1918) - the Balkan, the One Between the Allies (the Second
Balkan one) and the World War I the nation did grand efforts, it gave many human lives,
and exhausted its resources in the name of the National union. The Bulgarian society
develops in wartime conditions, they put their stamp on its whole existence. Both national
catastrophes - the one between the allies and the other - are internationally viewed with
grief and darken the dreams of a union of the nation.
The decades after the end of the First World War in
1939 were a definite period in the Bulgarian development. The main characteristics of the
peaceful period are - the crises of the Parliament democracy and the gradual implosion of
the autoritarism, the watching of the peaceful revision in the outer policy and the
political survival of broad social groups.
In chronology and problematically may the years of the Bulgarian
participation in the Second World War (1941-1945) separated from the rest. They
characterize a fast coming crisis in the autoritarism that in the fall of 1944 ended with
its defeat. |
