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.
In any case, the national banner was gotten from an alternate source the ethnic relationship of Bulgarians with their Slavic relatives the Russians. The Russian Horizontal tricolor of white-blue-red was changed in the Bulgarian banner by the substitution of green for blue.
From the time of its official recognition (April 16, 1879) until the end of the monarchy following World War II, the national flag was simply the white-green-red tricolor, although the naval flag added a red canton with a yellow lion. When the communists came to power, their coat of arms, with its red star and other socialist symbols, was added in the upper hoist corner of the flag; four variations of that design existed between 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.
