 Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.3, Entry 272, TURKEY.: Library of Economics and Liberty
Politically the empire of the sultan is divided, in part by geographical conditions, and in part by race and language, into certain grand divisions, accepted in discussions of the eastern question, and familiar in its diplomatic correspondence; but these divisions are undefined and have no administrative significance.
Turkey in Europe is divided in its eastern half by the Balkans into Bulgaria and Roumelia, the latter having an eastern and western division, and covering, in the extension given it by Turkey and the treaty of San Stefano, Thrace and Macedonia.
Land in Bulgaria and Roumelia is in small holdings, in Thrace and Macedonia in large estates.

 Museum of the History of the Greek Costume of the Lyceum Club of Greek Women   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Its inhabitants - in great part refugees from Eastern Thrace, Eastern Roumelia and Asia Minor - for historical and psychological reasons and as a defence against the various conquerors who threatened their national identity, clung firmly to their ancestral heritage.
Changes are minor, the rhythm is slow, because, in the traditional society, any changes made must meet with the general approval of the members of the community.
They come, for the most part, from the rich collection of the Lyceum Club of Greek Women of Athens, while the basic criterion for their selection was the existence of authoritative published material on the subject, or of long-term research, the result of which is in the process of publication.

For the Eastern Roumelia overprints - as indicated in the foreword to the present article - this paper cannot serve as a certain guide to the reliable identification of genuine copies.
Figures 4 and 6 have been prepared to show examples of counterfeit Eastern Roumelia or R O overprints, and it is a safe conclusion if a copy matches one of the figures listed here as false that the overprint is counterfeit.

 Balkan Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serbians had gained substantial territory during the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-78, while Greece acquired Thessaly in 1881 (although it lost a small area to the Ottoman Empire in 1897) and Bulgaria (an autonomous principality since 1878) incorporated the formerly distinct province of Eastern Rumelia (1885).
All three as well as tiny Montenegro sought additional territories within the large Ottoman-ruled regions known as Roumelia, comprising Eastern Roumelia, Albania, Macedonia, and Thrace (see map).
Tensions among the Balkan states over their rival aspirations in Macedonia and Thrace subsided somewhat following intervention by the great Powers in the mid-1800s aimed at securing both fuller protection for the province's Christian majority and protection of the status quo.

In an attempt to take advantage of this reversal, several European nations formed a Union of Crusaders, but before they could launch an assault the armies of the Ottoman Empire, under Ali Pasha, defeated the forces of the King of Bulgaria and the Prince of Dobroudja, thus preventing a Crusader attack.
Amurath then passed on into Roumelia and in 1389 put the Crusaders to rout.
Tragically, Amurath was slain by a Serbian soldier after the battle and was succeeded by his son, Bayezid.

The Tsar's antipathy toward Prince Alexander was based in part on his refusal to make Bulgaria a vassal state of Russia.
And the Tsar had been against Roumelia joining with Bulgaria to create an even greater land barrier to any Russian drive toward the Bosphorus.
The British, on the other hand, concerned that the Russians might still attempt an advance in the Balkans, were pleased that Roumelia joined Bulgaria.
