Independence Day in Bulgaria is celebrated on September 22nd each year.
The day commemorates Bulgaria's declaration of independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1908. Although the country had been liberated from Ottoman rule following the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), resulting in the Treaty of Berlin, it was still formally under Ottoman suzerainty as an autonomous principality. On September 22, 1908, Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria declared full independence, and the country was proclaimed a fully sovereign nation. This pivotal moment was a significant step in Bulgaria's national history and identity.
