1792 CE to 1803 CE

The end of centralized Ottoman power over Bulgarian territory brings several decades of anarchy, called the kurdzhaliistvo, at the end of the eighteenth century.

As at the end of the Second Bulgarian Empire four hundred years before, local freebooters control small areas, tyrannize the population, and fight among themselves.

Political order is not reestablished in Bulgaria until 1820.

Meanwhile, large population shifts occur as Bulgarians flee the taxation and violence inflicted by this anarchic condition; the new communities they found in Romania and southern Russia will be important sources of cultural and political ideas in the nineteenth century.
