Map: Kingdom of Bulgaria in 1917, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Kingdom of Bulgaria in 1917, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 170,900 km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

Before and after

The states the record files it as replacing or following, and those that replaced or followed it - Wikidata's own statements, each read from this state's side.

Before it

After it

How it ended, as its article says

Dissolved, 1946. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

In 1946, the monarchy was abolished, its final tsar was sent into exile, and the tsardom was replaced by the People's Republic of Bulgaria.

What happened within it, by century

Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.

1900 – 199920 rows · 14 wars and battles · 3 risings, regime changes and massacres

and 12 more in the atlas.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 6 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
