THE SITUATION OF BULGARIAN ARMED BANDS IN MACEDONIA BETWEEN AUTOCRACY AND CONSTITUTIONALISM ACCORDING TO BRITISH DOCUMENTS

Öz

The nationalist movements that emerged in the 19th century accelerated the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Rebellions fuelled by nationalist ideology and the new states established as a result of these rebellions reduced Ottoman rule in the Balkans. The regions under Ottoman rule experienced conflicts stemming from diverse ethnic groups. The Greeks, Bulgarians, and Serbs sought to implement expansion plans in the Ottoman Balkans, shaped by national structures formed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Within this landscape, the anarchic environment known as the ‘Macedonian Question’ developed around the geographical area encompassing the provinces of Salonica, Monastir, and Kosovo. Macedonia's association with violence stems from the bloody conflicts initiated by armed bands established by local groups in the region. Supported by the expansion plans of the new small nation-states in the region, these armed bands clashed both among themselves and with law enforcement forces in Macedonia. While each of these armed bands is a distinct subject of study, this article focuses on the situation of the Bulgarian armed bands. Along with general assessments, the focus will be on the transition from the pre-constitutional period, when the conflict was most intense, to the emergence of ‘freedom’ with the advent of the constitutional monarchy. Reports from British diplomatic and military representatives in the region, sometimes sent daily and at other intervals, will serve as the primary source for the study.
