| | Bulgaria is a country in Eastern Europe on the western side of the Black Sea. | | | After a series of bloody and brutal Balkan wars, Bulgaria had the further misfortune to be occupied by the losing side in both World Wars, and fell within the Soviet sphere of influence and became a People's Republic in 1946. | | | Communist domination was brought to a swift, but for many people illusory end in 1989; though Bulgaria went on to hold its first multiparty election since World War II, essentially socialist policies were pursued until hyperinflation and economic meltdown drove the old guard out of power in 1997. |
