The History Of Bulgaria Flag For The Future

By Amanda Lowrance


The land that gave birth to the legendary Orpheus and Spartacus, Bulgaria is a country with a long, tumultuous and fascinating history. It has been invaded, conquered and settled by Greeks, Scythians, Romans, Byzantines, and Turks, all of whom left their indelible marks on the landscape.

In April 1877, Russia declared war on Turkey. In January 1878 the Russians captured Sofia. Then on 3 March the Treaty of Stefano ended the war. The treaty created an independent Bulgaria. However the British and Austro-Hungarians were afraid that this new Bulgaria might be a powerful ally for Russia and they insisted the treaty be revised. By the treaty of Berlin, July 1878 Bulgaria was split in two. The northern half was not allowed to be totally independent. Instead, Bulgaria was to be a vassal state of Turkey called a principality.

In the fourteenth century the ensign of Tsar Ivan Shishman, the most capable Bulgarian ruler, was a lion shown in gold on a red shield. This outline was fused in some early Bulgarian progressive banners raised against the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century.

Nevertheless, the national flag was derived from a different source the ethnic association of Bulgarians with their Slavic brothers the Russians. The Russian Horizontal tricolor of white-blue-red was modified in the Bulgarian flag by the substitution of green for blue.

From the season of its official acknowledgment (April 16, 1879) until the end of the government taking after World War II, the national banner was just the white-green-red tricolor, despite the fact that the maritime banner included a red canton with a yellow lion. At the point when the communists came to control, their ensign, with its red star and other communist images, was included the upper lift corner of the banner; four varieties of that outline existed somewhere around 1948 and 1990.

After the destruction of the socialist government, the old plain tricolor was restored on November 27, 1990. The white of the banner is said to remain for peace, adoration, and opportunity while green underlines the agricultural wealth of Bulgaria. Red is for the freedom battle and military fearlessness. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development of Bulgarian Flag by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
