Once an American reviewing the Bulgarian history summed it up that the Bulgarian identity was formed by the struggle against the Greco-Romans for independence and resistance against hellenization of the people/tribes inhabiting Moesia, Thrace and Macedonia, which is what drove Thracians, Slavs, Bulgars, Goths, Wallachians, Cumans an as many as over 30 ethnicities throughout the ages to intermingle and form the Bulgarian ethnicity. Yet current DNA studies show that the Bulgarians are most closely to Romanians, Northern Greeks...

I noticed how many commentators are surprised by the Bulgarian opening bid in the negotiations. I.e a defeated power asking for territory in the peace treaty. This is actually standard diplomatic practice in the 1850-1920 period, even today. You always open negotiations with a maximalist bid , since that maximizes your ability to "sacrifice" claims in order to build a image of accommodation. You make big claims in the hope that you can sacrifice them in order to keep what you really want. The Ottomans also opened their negotiations with maximalist calims (including Bulgarian territory). The question is if the claims you make are so spurious that everybody knows they are empty talk. i.e there is a fine line behind sacrificing something that pains you for keeping what you really want, and sacrificing empty dreams for keeping something you really want. But again, the Bulgarian state negotiations tactic is standard practice.

September 28, 1918. Strangely, his granddaughter, my mother, was born on the same day 22 years later... His name is still standing on the memorial gates of the 8th Regiment in Varna, Bulgaria, with other almost 700 names of soldiers and officers from the regiment who sacrificed themselves during the Balkan Wars and the Great War. His grave, however, is unknown due to the policy of the Yugoslavian government after the war to clean up all traces of any Bulgarian presence in Macedonia including destruction of graveyards and memorials. Never forget Neuilly! Glory to Bulgaria! Some day Justice will prevail! 🇧🇬 P.S. for the record: the Bitola Inscription from the XI century says Ivan Vladislav, King of Bulgaria, nephew of Samuil, King of Bulgaria, built the fortress of Bitola for the Bulgarians.

Actually, the actions of Stamboliyski during the rebellion are not so clear. We know that together with representatives of other political parties he did give speeches to the insurgent soldiers urging them to at least wait until the coming armistice becomes a fact. It was his close associate Rayko Daskalov who took command of the rebels and proclaimed the so called "Radomir Republic" with Stamboliyski as head of state; the actual participation of the agrarian leader into this segment of the events is quite doubtful. He certainly knew he could be suspected though as he went into hiding during the bloody aftermath.

All of these treaties show why beforehand it was so common to have a neutral arbitrator.

They wanted milder terms that, instead of furthering division, would create stable nations and a more stable peace. This was what most of the central powers expected to receive. Instead, France and Britain made hotheaded decisions that would strengthen their own allies, benefit themselves, and leave receiving powers as future enemies, fueled by resentment.

Minor mapping mistake spotted; at some points in the video you show the territory Bulgaria ceded to Greece as being exactly identical to the Greek province of Thrace. That is not 100% correct though. While most of Greek (AKA "western") Thrace was indeed held by Bulgaria between 1912 to 1919, the area that is adjacent to Adrianople(the northern part of the Evros district) as well as a small piece to the south near the river delta, actually remained in ottoman control until the end of WWI and the finalization of Greek-Turkish border, so the area Bulgaria controlled did not exactly correspond with the modern Greek province of Thrace, at least when it comes to some parts near the Turkish border... lots of other videos make this mistake on their maps because it's an easy to miss detail and they tend to copy each other so the error gets repeated, but it is incorrect.

If we go by these so called Byzantine Chroniclers's written down accounts Bulgars first appear around the 4th century as mercenaries against the Ostrogoths..I'm not sure if there's a mention of Serbs exactly you are right that there Isn't such thing as slavs then just many tribes with a similiar language and while Bulgars did arrive permanently around the time of the Slavs calling them invaders would be ironic seeing as both rushed into Byzantine lands.
