Bulgaria, officially the Republic of Bulgaria, is a country located in Southeastern
Europe. It is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and Macedonia to the west, Greece
and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. Bulgaria is Europe's 14th-largest
country. The Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 led to the formation of the Third Bulgarian State.
The following years saw several conflicts with its neighbours, which prompted Bulgaria to
align with Germany in both World Wars. In 1946 it became a single-party Socialist state
as part of the Soviet-led Eastern Bloc. In 1989 the ruling Communist Party allowed
multi-party elections, which subsequently led to Bulgaria's transition into a democracy
and a market-based economy. Bulgaria became a member state of the European Union on
January 1, 2007.
