EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Bulgarian Triumph at Dragoman Pass: Bulgarian Headquarters on the Morning of November 23, 1885" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the moment of Bulgarian victory at the Dragoman Pass on November 23, 1885, following their successful recapture of the strategic location during the Serbo-Bulgarian War. The Serbian forces had been driven back the previous day, marking the decisive turning point in the conflict that lasted just two weeks, from November 14 to 28. 3. Background: The Serbo-Bulgarian War erupted as a result of Serbia's objection to Bulgaria's unification with Eastern Rumelia. The Serbs, led by Prince Milan Obrenovic, sought to assert their dominance over the region, igniting a conflict that would ultimately result in a resounding Bulgarian victory. 4. Scene: In this image, Bulgarian soldiers and officers are seen gathered around their headquarters at the Dragoman Pass, their faces etched with a mix of relief, pride, and determination. The encampment is bustling with activity, as troops prepare for the next phase of the campaign. Tents are pitched, fires burn, and supplies are being distributed. The rugged terrain and harsh winter weather add to the sense of hardship and resilience. 5. Significance: The recapture of the Dragoman Pass was a crucial milestone in the Bulgarian campaign, as it secured their control over a vital border crossing and effectively ended the Serbian threat. This photograph serves as a testament to the courage and determination of the Bulgarian forces, who successfully defended their territory against foreign aggression. 6. Legacy: The Serbo-Bulgarian War marked the end of the Ottoman influence in the Balkans and paved the way for the emergence of a unified Bulgarian state. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Bulgarian history, showcasing the indomitable spirit of its people and their unwavering commitment to their nation.
