EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in Bulgarian history: the proclamation of Prince Alexander I as King on September 22, 1908, declaring Bulgaria's independence from the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The Manifesto of 1908, penned by Prince Alexander himself, is depicted in the foreground, a testament to the determination and courage of the Bulgarian people in their quest for sovereignty. Prince Alexander, who had previously ruled as a regent under the Ottoman sultan, seized the opportunity presented by the Young Turk Revolution in Istanbul to assert Bulgaria's independence. In this document, he renounced his allegiance to the Ottoman Empire and assumed the title of 'King of the Bulgarians.' The proclamation was met with jubilation throughout Bulgaria and solidified the country's position as an independent nation. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the struggle for self-determination and the indomitable spirit of the Bulgarian people. The Manifesto of 1908 marked the end of Bulgaria's long history as an Ottoman province and the beginning of a new era of national pride and sovereignty. This significant moment in Bulgarian history continues to be celebrated as a symbol of the country's rich cultural heritage and its resilience in the face of adversity.
