A royal dictatorship allied with Hitler during World War II, a Communist state aligned with the Eastern Bloc afterward, and now a parliamentary democracy with a capitalist economy, Bulgaria has experienced great change in just the last 70 years. Today a modern and developed nation, Bulgaria's culture is still rooted in its rich 1,300-year history.
