Bulgarian Action Committees




The Bulgarian Action Committees in in Macedonia in 1941, determined by the invasion of the German army in Yugoslavia and the ruining or at least the shaking of the suppressing rule in the region. It was also determined by the friendly relations between Nazi Germany and Bulgaria , by the hope that after the German army the Bulgarian one would come.
The time when those events took place was a time of lack of authority. The Yugoslav rule was changed with German, after that with Bulgarian. The Serbs in most places had run away, not be­ing afraid not as much of the Germans, but of the revenge of the local Bulgarian population. Only the Serbian authorities in Skopje and Bitola did not escape. It was logical the Bulgarians to make an attempt to lake control and to avoid anarchy. The establishment of that rule continued long after the arrival of the Bulgarian Army because the organization of the administrative authorities in the re­gion and its transformation in inseparable unity with Bulgaria was long-lasting process. Actually just on May 18 , 1941 the German mili­tary command in Skopie officially handed over the administrative power to the Bulgarian State . But when after a few months every­thing was organized, the campaign committees became somewhat useless. More precisely, they were historically doomed to adjourn.
