About Bulgaria

This English guide introduces Bulgaria through six dated public records. The lessons use World Heritage, intangible heritage, national statistics, and central-bank pages. They teach learners to name a source, keep dates near claims, and avoid turning one record into a claim about every person or a current plan.
