About Boris III of Bulgaria

  • Boris III (Bulgarian: ????? III; 30 January [O.S.
  • 18 January] 1894 – 28 August 1943), originally Boris Klemens Robert Maria Pius Ludwig Stanislaus Xaver (Boris Clement Robert Mary Pius Louis Stanislaus Xavier), was the Tsar of the Kingdom of Bulgaria from 1918 until his death. The eldest son of Ferdinand I, Boris acceded to the throne upon the abdication of his father, following Bulgaria's defeat during World War I.
  • This was the country's second major defeat in only five years, after the disastrous Second Balkan War of 1913.
  • Under the Treaty of Neuilly, Bulgaria was forced to cede new territories and pay crippling reparations to its neighbours, thereby threatening political and economic stability.
  • Two political forces, the Agrarian Union and the Communist Party, were calling for the overthrowing of the monarchy and the change of the government.
  • It was in these circumstances that Boris succeeded to the throne.
