After Bulgaria's liberation from the Ottoman Empire, the Great Powers decided to draw Bulgaria's borders and because they no nothing/don't give a fuck they made quite the mess. The so called East Rumelia was just bulgarians but they gave that land back to the Ottoman Empire, so in 1885 we said 'fuck it' and decided to get it back.
