Bulgarian Empire

Facts have proved that Bulgaria's new economic policy is still very effective. Through the government's strong intervention in the market and increased fiscal investment in infrastructure, it finally saved jobs.

Although many enterprises are now going astray, and many national capitalists are forced to work as contractors, but these are small details. Compared with the unemployment wave in European countries at this time, the Bulgarian people are still lucky. And work!

In the second half of 1899, the global economy was in the wind and rain. After entering 1900, the economic crisis really kicked in, and the prosperity lasted for six years. Many industries in the capitalist world were facing a large amount of overproduction. The Russian financial crisis was at least the fuse.

None of the major industrial countries in the world can survive alone. Basically, the more developed the industry and the more prosperous the economy, the greater the impact will be!

Among them, emerging countries have suffered particularly serious losses. Emerging countries, including Bulgaria, have not caught up with the upsurge of carve up the world, and there is not enough market for domestic industrial and commercial products.

Everyone has to consider using the sword in their hands to seize more land for their plows. Therefore, this economic crisis will also have a huge impact on the future world structure!

Newly emerging countries have made different choices. Bulgaria has just entered the threshold of an industrial country, and its total industrial volume is not very large.

Ferdinand survived the crisis by tapping domestic demand and trade protection measures, and the government also increased investment in infrastructure. Coupled with the large immigration and the consumption of a large amount of supplies, Bulgaria took the lead in coming out of the economic crisis. By the end of 1900, China was once again on the fast track of rapid economic growth.

During the economic crisis, the Germans made the same choice as in history, grabbing the traditional European market of the British.

Although after the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War, the German industrial and commercial circles were doing it, but they still had some scruples, and now they are doing even more excessively.

The Germans have just been put together by the British, and with a vengeful heart, the unscrupulous European continent robbed the British of their market share! It was by robbing the British market that Germany got rid of the economic crisis, and its economic aggregate surpassed that of the British since the beginning of the 20th century!

Of course, this refers to the economic aggregate exceeding the British mainland. If the colonies are added, the British Empire is still the well-deserved world leader!

Therefore, some people in later generations regard the British Boer War as the turning point of the British Empire from prosperity to decline!

The Italians also made the same choice, but unfortunately they failed in this round of competition due to their limited industrial strength. They came out of the economic crisis later and could only continue to be at the bottom of the big powers!

In order to get rid of the crisis, the Americans have also embarked on the road of expansion. Open Door and Golden Dollar Diplomacy are their signature policies!

Japan intensified its invasion of its neighbors, and by plundering its neighbors, it got rid of the economic crisis!

...

Your Majesty, something happened in the Far East. Our embassy in Beijing sent a message that the Boxer Rebellion broke out within the Qing Empire. The situation may be getting out of control. The envoy intends to send troops to intervene! Foreign Minister Megev said flatly.

The changes in the Qing Dynasty had little to do with Bulgaria. The rising Bulgaria was not yet capable of reaching out so far. If it weren't for the Russian Far East strategy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs probably wouldn't even be interested in paying attention.

Ferdinand's cheeks trembled slightly, his heart was very restless, and he recovered soon after.

What should come will still come, so what if I think so much? Anyway, he has no way to persuade the corrupt Manchu Qing government, let alone settle the European powers!

Pay close attention to the development of the situation in the Far East, but don't get involved. Bulgaria doesn't have much interest there, so it's not worthy of our participation! Ferdinand said in a flat tone.

Since he was unable to intervene, Ferdinand simply came out of sight. Of course, Ferdinand has no ability to interfere with the Eight-Power Allied Forces; but he still has the ability to prevent Bulgaria from participating!

Ferdinand is now almost certain that the Eight-Power Allied Forces' War of Aggression against China will definitely break out.

Just look at the economic crisis and you will know that the capitalist world needs a catharsis, and the Manchu Qing government just happened to send it to the door!

Time flies, and in May 1900, at the request of the envoys, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy, Japan, and the United States mobilized 426 naval personnel from Dagukou and swaggered into Beijing. This action angered the broad masses of patriotic people, and the situation began to spiral out of control!

As the situation worsened, on June 10, the eight countries formed a coalition and dispatched 2,100 troops to attack Beijing under the command of the British East Asia Fleet Commander Seymour. Life dragged on.

However, on June 21, the Manchu Qing government issued a wonderful edict to declare war. It neither stated who the country declaring war was, nor submitted it to any embassy. It was then understood by all countries to declare war on the world. This is Cixi's famous The Edict of All Nations Declares War event!

(Omit 50,000 characters later, everyone can check it)

The result was a treaty of Xin Chou, the British fiddled with the Southeast Mutual Protection, the Russians occupied the Northeast, and the two hegemonies of Britain and Russia began to compete in the Far East. The actions of the Russians in the Northeast blocked Japan's expansion path. With the support of the British, the conflict between Japan and Russia began to intensify.

Due to the contradictions among the great powers, countries were unable to reach an agreement on carve up the Manchu Qing, and eventually had to compromise. The opening the door and preserving the Manchu Qing proposed by the Americans became the consensus among all countries. (For safety's sake, it's better to stop)

...

After Ferdinand received the news, he could only sigh and let it go!

At this time, Bulgaria's immigration work has come to an end. It lasted three years from 1897 to 1900.

During the period, the Bulgarian government immigrated more than 4.26 million people from the Ottoman Empire, and at the same time sent more than 2.67 million people to the Ottoman Empire!

This number far exceeded the estimate of the Bulgarian government. If it weren't for the language requirements, Ferdinand estimated that there would be several million more people. There were not many ethnic minorities in the Ottoman Empire who didn't want to run away!

As for which of them are the real Bulgarians, it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, the Bulgarians are a mixed race, and no one can tell how to divide them!

The method now adopted by Ferdinand is to divide by cultural heritage. Anyway, as long as the culture is similar and agrees with Bulgaria, it can be counted.

At the same time, good news came from the cultural circles. The compilation of History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation was completed. Ferdinand personally participated in the review and proposed revisions.

This work dates back to the second century BC. The ancient Bulgars who migrated from the Western Regions of China to Eastern Europe were a mixed race of Slavs, and then mixed with multiple ethnic groups in the later years, and finally formed the Bulgarian race.

These are all true, and some exaggerated techniques and some historical stories are used later to prove that all ethnic groups in the Balkans are part of the Bulgarian ethnic group, and everyone has the same ancestor!

It was only under the conspiracy of the Ottomans that they gradually split up, and the direct ethnic conflicts between the various ethnic groups were all provoked by the Ottomans! In short, all responsibilities have been dumped on the Ottoman Empire!

Oh, no one can answer this question anymore. From the point of view of blood, it seems that everyone has a little relationship. As for the division of ethnic groups, future generations will debate endlessly!

Believe it or not, Ferdinand did! Then this History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation has become an enlightenment book for Bulgarian students, and it has been brainwashed since childhood.

Moreover, under the instruction of Ferdinand, this History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation quickly spread to the entire Balkan region, and it was circulated in Montenegro, Greece, Romania, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire.

In Bulgaria, it was regarded as an enlightenment book and a novel, and Ferdinand did not explicitly say that it was a history book! Naturally, it cannot be done abroad. In order to be able to spread it, it was spread entirely in the name of a novel, and it also aroused controversy among scholars from various countries.

Anyway, the public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the woman is right. The more people quarrel, the wider the spread of the book will be!

This is what Ferdinand learned from later generations, just like the novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was directly regarded as official history by many people, and a bunch of experts emerged to study it.

As long as someone believed it, Ferdinand's plan would succeed. In addition to the History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation, there is a series of history of the origin of the Balkan nations. In short, everyone has been withdrawn from the relationship. The Ottoman Empire has been faithfully acting as the villain.

In order to spread the novel version of the history of national origin, Ferdinand ordered people to adapt it into dramas, fairy tales, and movies, and spread it from Bulgaria to the world.

According to the book, due to the changes of the times, the pure-blood race has disappeared in the Balkans.

Today's Bulgarians, Greeks, Romanians, Armenians, Serbs, Blacks, Macedonians... These dozens of ethnic groups were all born from the same origin, and they were split under the conspiracy of the Ottoman Empire.

Going further, Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, Hungarians... Everyone is close relatives, and the Eastern European nations are one!

It is obvious that the latter is all nonsense, but it is precisely the nonsense behind that has prompted the widespread spread of this history of national origins!

Because these contents are in the interests of the ruling class, both the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire are multi-ethnic countries, and the main ethnic groups are less than half.

According to the history of national origin, everyone is a family, or at least a close relative. Then many ethnic problems are solved, so under the joint force of the ruling class, the novel begins a gorgeous turn to history!
