Paskalevo (Bulgarian : Паскалево) is a village in the municipality of Dobrichka, in Dobrich Province, in northeastern Bulgaria. [1]
Bulgarian, is an Indo-European language and a member of the Southern branch of the Slavic language family.
Dobrich Province is a province in northeastern Bulgaria, part of Southern Dobruja geographical region. It is bounded on east by the Black Sea, on south by Varna Province, on west by Yambol & Sliven provinces, on north by Shumen & Varna provinces. It is divided into 8 municipalities. At the 2011 census, it had a population of 186,016.
Formerly, the village was known as Ezi bey (Ези бей) and in Romanian as Ezibei, because it was founded as the chiflik of a 16th-century local Ottoman chieftain (bey) named Ezi. Ethnic Bulgarians settled in the early 19th century, with a further group of settlers brought in by priest Paskal in 1848. These Bulgarians originated from the Sliven and Yambol regions, though they had briefly emigrated to Bessarabia to escape Ottoman persecution after the Russo-Turkish War of 1828–29. [2]
Romanian is an Eastern Romance language spoken by approximately 24–26 million people as a native language, primarily in Romania and Moldova, and by another 4 million people as a second language. It is an official and national language of Romania and Moldova. In addition, it is also one of the official languages of the European Union.
Chiflik, or chiftlik, is a Turkish term for a system of land management in the Ottoman Empire. Before the chiflik system the Empire used a non-hereditary form of land management called the Timar System. Starting as the Empire began to collapse, powerful military officers started to claim land from the Sultan's holding allowing them to pass the land onto their sons thus creating the Chiflik system. This form of land management lasted from the sixteenth century to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1919.
The Ottoman Empire, historically known in Western Europe as the Turkish Empire or simply Turkey, was a state that controlled much of Southeast Europe, Western Asia and North Africa between the 14th and early 20th centuries. It was founded at the end of the 13th century in northwestern Anatolia in the town of Söğüt by the Oghuz Turkish tribal leader Osman I. After 1354, the Ottomans crossed into Europe, and with the conquest of the Balkans, the Ottoman beylik was transformed into a transcontinental empire. The Ottomans ended the Byzantine Empire with the 1453 conquest of Constantinople by Mehmed the Conqueror.
Between 1918 and 1940, the village was part of Caliacra County of the Kingdom of Romania, returning to Bulgarian control with the Treaty of Craiova. It was renamed to Paskalevo in honour of priest Paskal in 1942. [2]
Caliacra County was a county (județ) of Romania in the interwar period, in Southern Dobruja, with the seat at Bazargic.
The Kingdom of Romania was a constitutional monarchy that existed in Romania from 26 March 1881 with the crowning of prince Karl of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen as King Carol I, until 1947 with the abdication of King Michael I of Romania, and the Romanian parliament proclaiming Romania a socialist republic.
