About this person

The Bulgarian Grand National Assembly elected Alexander of Battenberg as Prince of autonomous Bulgaria in 1879. He dissolved the assembly the following year and suspended the Constitution in 1881, deeming it too liberal. When he restored the Constitution in 1883, it triggered open conflict with Russia - a stance that made him popular domestically. Unification with Eastern Rumelia came in 1885 and won recognition from the great powers. In September 1886, pro-Russian officers in the Bulgarian Army staged a coup and forced his abdication. He left the Balkans and became a general in the Austrian army, dying in 1893 at thirty-six.
