ABSTRACT

EMERGENCE OF BULGARIAN NATIONALISM
The Balkan nations who gained their independences from the Oltoman state, established confusing nationalistic ideologies based on their national identities and goals. Hiistorical ethnic and political problems of the Balkan nations became a fire ball with nationalistic hlazes after the Ottoman rule. Under these conditions. nationalism in the Balkans became dangerous. Like the other Balkan nationalists, Bulgarian nationalists also read the history reverse and portrayed the Ottoman State scapegoat considering the Ottoman times as "dark era" for the Bulgarians. This paper argues that neither Ottoan rule was dark for the Bulgarians, nor nationalism was grass rooted in Ottoman Bulgar society, as this was claimed by Bulgarian nationalistic committees.
