Quick Summary

The Popular Bloc was a political party in Bulgaria that emerged in 1931 as a coalition of moderate Agrarian Union members and other opposition groups. It came to power during the Great Depression but struggled to alleviate economic hardship and rising labor unrest. In 1934, a military coup overthrew the Popular Bloc government, leading to an authoritarian regime that suppressed political parties. The Popular Bloc's history is intertwined with Bulgaria's turbulent political landscape in the early 20th century, marked by economic instability and shifts in governance.1
