Bulgaria was settled by Slavs in the 6th century. Turkic Bulgars arrived in the
7th century, merged with the Slavs, became Christians by the 9th century,
and set up powerful empires in the 10th and 12th centuries. The Ottomans
prevailed in 1396 and remained for 500 years. A revolt in 1876 led to an
independent kingdom in 1908. Bulgaria expanded after the first Balkan War
but lost its Aegean coastline in World War I, when it sided with Germany.
Bulgaria Joined the Axis in World War II, but withdrew in 1944. Communists
took power with Soviet aid; the monarchy was abolished Sept. 8, 1946.
