http://members.tripod.com/~marcin_w/index-bul.html BULGARIA, (until 1946) Carstvo Bylgarija, Tsardom of Bulgaria.Population: 6 319 000 (in 1938). Borders with (in 1945) Romania, Jugoslavia, Greece, and Turkey. It also has access to the Black Sea (from 1941 until 1945 it also had access to the Aegean Sea). Area: 103 100 squared kilometers (in 1938), 110 927 squared kilometers (in 1945). Capital: Sofia Overview: Just prior to and during the early years of Second World War, the monarchist-fascist regime of Tsar Boris the IIIrd and the governments of Kioseivanov and especially of B. Filov (1940-1944) carried-out policies friendly to Nazi Germany; consequently, these policies led to a military alliance with Third Reich and resulted in reducing Bulgaria to a status of a Hitlerite dependency. Despite of an advantagous to Bulgaria non-aggression treaty with members of the Balkan Pact (signed on 31/07/1938 in Saloniki, Greece), which resulted in liquidation of the negative consequences of the First World War, Bulgaria rejected the offers of co-operation from other Balkan states and refused to co-operate with the western countries. The main reason for these pro-German tendencies in Bulgarian foreign policy was the desire to regain the lands lost by Bulgaria after the First World War. At the beginning of the Second World War Bulgaria maintained neutrality. On the basis of a treaty signed with Romania (on 07/09/1940) in the Romanian city of Craiova, Bulgaria regained from Romania Southern Dobrudza, largely thanks to the backing of Nazi Germany. On 01/03/1941 Bulgaria acceded to the Axis Tri-Partite Treaty, according to which Bulgaria permitted the use of its naval facilities, air bases, and rail lines by the German armed forces. German forces entered the country on 02/03/1941, and used it as a staging base for their invasions of Jugoslavia and Greece. In April of 1941 Bulgaria was awarded almost entire Jugoslav Macedonia, as well as Aegean and Vardarian Thrace and extreme south-eastern section of Serbia. Bulgaria also co-participated in the occupation of the remainder of Serbia (until September of 1944), while some Bulgarian units were dispatched to Bosnia-Hercegovina for anti-partisan operations. In Macedonia a brutal policy of complete Bulgarization was constantly implemented. On 13/12/1941 Bulgaria declared war on U.S. and U.K. (Great Britain declared war on the Tsardom on 28/12/1941, and United States not until 18/07/1942). In spite of intense pressure by the Axis, the Bulgarian government refused to commit its troops against Soviet Union, and even allowed Soviet embassy to operate for the entire duration of the conflict (it was the only Axis country to do so). On 24/06/1941, immediately following the Axis invasion of Soviet Union, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Workers' Party appointed central and district military commissions with the aim of organizing and directing the partisan movement against the country's regime and the Hitlerite occupation forces. On 26/06/1941, in Upper Dzumaya (the Blagojevgrad district) the First Bulgarian Partisan Detachment was formed under the command of N. Parapumov. By the end of 1941, few more partisan groups and companies were formed; these units began to conduct diversional-sabotage operations. On 17/06/1942, under the initiative of G. Dimitrov, the Fatherland Front was founded and it went on to play a major role in the development of the movement for liberation. The program of the Fatherland Front stipulated the severance of relations with the Third Reich and other Axis states, the initiation of co-operation with Soviet Union and democratic countries, the abolition of Bulgaria's monarchist-fascist regime, and the proclamation of popular-democratic rule. The development of the partisan movement was facilitated by the victory of the Red Army at Stalingrad and the successes of the Army of National Liberation in Jugoslavia. In spring of 1943, in order to make the management of the partisan movement more efficient and centralized, the country was divided into 12 partisan operational zones and a Partisan General Staff was created. Since June of 1941 until late 1943, the partisan forces in Bulgaria executed around 2 200 acts of sabotage and diversional-combat actions. The monarchist-fascist regime, attempting to destroy the partisan movement, organized numerous police-military operations and pacificational actions. One of the biggest such operations took place in the early months of 1944. Despite heavy losses inflicted on the partisans (mainly in the Rhodopes), the liberation movement continued to expand. In the summer of 1944, as a result of Soviet victories and the nearing of the Red Army to Bulgaria's borders, the leaders of the nation's reactionary government began secret negotiations with Great Britain and United States in Cairo and Ankara. Simultaneously on 26/08/1944 the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Workers' Party issued a directive that dealt with the preparation for an armed uprising. On 02/09/1944, as a consequence of a Soviet ultimatum concerning the presence of German troops in Bulgaria, the government of Bagrajanov collapsed; subsequently, on 05/09/1944 Soviet Union declared war on the Tsardom. On 09/09/1944 an armed uprising broke-out in Sofia; the government was taken-over by the Fatherland Front, which established the first popular-democratic government of K. Georgijev. On 10/09/1944 Bulgaria declared war on Germany and took an active part in the war's last phases, in the operations that resulted in liberation of Jugoslavia, Hungary, and Austria (Bulgaria signed a formal armstice with the countries of the Anti-Axis Coalition on 28/10/1944). Between 1941 and 1944, as many as 9 150 Bulgarian partisans and over 20 000 members of the underground resistance were killed. Some 31 540 people were sent to concentration camps or "black battalions" as a punishment for participation in the liberation movement. Since the beginning of 1942 until 09/09/1944, some 60 345 Bulgarian patriots were arrested, 12 461 of whom were sentenced to death. During pacificational actions punitive expeditions burned 2 139 buildings. On 15/09/1946 Bulgaria was proclaimed a people's republic ( Narodna Republika Bylgarija - People's Republic of Bulgaria). The new republic signed on 10/02/1947 a peace treaty with former members of the Anti-Axis Coalition. In December of 1955 it became a member of U.N.

I'm not quite sure i believe sometime in 2013

The Voice TV Bulgaria's motto is 'We love music'.

All these four countries were under the control of Soviet Union. They were in Eastern Block.Members of Warsaw Military pact

The leader of Bulgaria during World War 1 was Tsar Ferdinand I. Formerly Bulgaria's prince regnant, he took the title of Tsar in 1908.

Zero. Nuremberg was entirely for German officials. There was the big initial tribunal that tried major German politicians and military commanders. Then there was a series of "lesser" trials that tried doctors, judges, business leaders, concentration camp leaders, "Einsatzgruppen" (the special SS soldiers who executed Jews in conquered territory in Russia) and so forth. As far as I'm aware, all were Germans.

About 97 miles by road. Estimated journey time by road about 2hrs 30mins. (Information from RAC Routefinder). (In 2000 I did the journey by rail, and it also took about 2hrs 30 mins. I note that the question is included in an Air Travel category. I honestly don't think it's worth flying between the two places).

Why not?

By the way: there's more than one country mentioned in HP: England, Scotland, Ireland, Albania, Bulgaria, French, Belarus.

If you are asking why Rowling chose Bulgaria as one of the teams in the Quidditch World Cup Final in the fourth book:

She was writing the Goblet of Fire in 1994. In the summer of that year there was a FIFA World Cup held in USA. The surprise of the tournament was Bulgaria. The country had given the world good athletes and individual football players, but had never been known for a strong football team as a whole.

So the thing is that that year Bulgaria's football team finished 4th after losing to Italy in the semi-finals after beating teams like Germany, France, Mexico, Argentina, and etc.

There are suggestions that Rowling got inspired by the great spirit and abilities of such an unknown team.

That is the closest and only time Bulgaria came close to a world title in football.

Ticha were the Bulgarian League winners in the year 1937.

The Constitution of Bulgaria(http://www.answers.com/topic/bulgarian-language: Конституция на България, Konstitutsiya na Balgariya) is the supreme and basic law of the Republic of Bulgaria. The current constitution was adopted on http://www.answers.com/topic/july-12 http://www.answers.com/topic/1991 by the 7th Grand National Assembly of Bulgaria, and defines the country as a http://www.answers.com/topic/unitary-state parliamentary http://www.answers.com/topic/republic. It has been amended three times (in 2003, 2005 and 2006) and is chronologically the fourth constitution of Bulgaria, the first being the Tarnovo Constitution of 1879. Besides the current democratic constitution of 1991 and the initial monarchist Tarnovo Constitution, other Bulgarian constitutions were the Dimitrov Constitution (named after http://www.answers.com/topic/georgi-dimitrov), in force between 1947 and 1971, and the Zhivkov Constitution (named after http://www.answers.com/topic/todor-zhivkov), in force between 1971 and 1991. Both were socialist in character.
