I’m currently reading about the proposals that circulated during the late 19th and early 20th century to unify Romania and Bulgaria under a single federation, and the main source for these that I found is Bulgarian.

#i have so much to learn…#it makes sense why i’ve never heard about this before #most romanian historians are strong proponents of the latin continuity theory #which claims that daco-romans continued to speak latin and live on the land of the former roman province dacia even after aurelian’s retrea #the idea of a bulgaro-romanian union in the late 19th and early 20th centuries #(a time period so crucial for the formation of the romanian state)#would have weakened the latin continuity theory #and strengthened the immigrationist theory which argues that daco-romans settled south of the danube after the roman retreat #which in turn would have de-legitimized romania’s claim for transylvania #thoughts are being thunk #bulgarian mutuals if you’re reading this i’d love to read your experience with this side of history #and how it was taught to you in school (if at all)#i can’t shake off the suspicion that the lack of romanian literature on this makes this one-sided…#my entries #romania #bulgaria
