The Turn to the East: Prince Ferdinand I of Bulgaria in the Diplomatic Papers of Austria-Hungary 1894–1899
Завоят на Изток: Княз Фердинанд I в дипломатическите документи на Австро-Унгария 1894—1899
Category: Modern Bulgarian History
Language: Bulgarian

   The monograph examines the period 1894—1898/1899 in which, after solving the issue of the Bulgarian crisis, the danger of a real conflict with Russiam Empire and the creation of the Bulgarian dynasty, the prince and the state faced the problem of gaining international legitimacy. The time is a dynamic and fateful in which the Principality is slowly but surely making a major foreign policy turn from the West to the East in the name of national interests. Based on sources from the Austro-Hungarian archives, the book reveals the doubts and the subsequent strategic failure of Vienna in maintaining its role in Bulgaria and the difficult but consistent path to achieve Russian, and hence European recognition of Ferdinand I of Bulgaria.
