EMERGENCE OF BULGARIAN NATIONALISM

Öz

Th e Balkan nations who gained their independences from the Oltoman state, established conji1sing nationalistic ideologies based on their 11 atio11al identities and goals. I /istorical 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 /Jalkans became dangerous. Like the other Balkan 11 atio11a/ists, Bulgarian nationalists also read the hist01y reverse and portrayed the Ottoman State scapegoat considering the Ottoman times as "dark era " f or the Bulgarians. This paper argues that neither Otro111an rule was dark f ur the !111/garians. nor, nationalism was grass rooted in 01ro111 an Bu/gar society as this was claimed by /111/garian 11 alio11 alistic: co111111ittees.
