The Battles of The Shipka | Bulgaria’s Fight for Independence

Описание: The Battles of The Shipka | Bulgaria’s Fight for Independence
The Shipka Peak (1,326 m) in the Balkan Mountains near Gabrovo, Bulgaria, home to the iconic Monument of Freedom (Паметник на свободата). As we climb toward the monument, we explore the history behind the Battles of Shipka during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878, a decisive moment in Bulgaria’s fight for independence.
Through the ideas of the Enlightenment, the rise of a Bulgarian national identity, and the lives of key figures like Paisii Hilendarski, Georgi Rakovski, and Vasil Levski, this video traces the road to revolution, the tragedy of the April Uprising of 1876, and the courage of Bulgarian volunteers who defended the pass against overwhelming Ottoman forces.
This is a journey through history, sacrifice, and the people who shaped modern Bulgaria.
