The Bulgarian army wins a brilliant victory…

1876 CE to 1887 CE

The Bulgarian army wins a brilliant victory over Serbia, with no Russian aid, at the Battle of Slivnitsa.

Although the victory is a source of great national pride for Bulgaria, Russia continues to withhold recognition of the union with Eastern Rumelia until Prince Alexander abdicates.

Finally, Russian-trained Bulgarian army officers depose the prince in August 1886.
