This chapter shows how closely the Bulgarian and Greek pre-national and national elites were interconnected and over a long period and what this entanglement produced. It attempts a panoramic and synthetic overview along the whole spectrum of Bulgarian-Greek relations and interactions and treats them not as a passing episode or a lateral theme, but as a fundamentally important shaping force of nationalism. The chapter also shows how closely interconnected and entangled Bulgarian and Greek history came to be in the modern era and how much they were conditioned by each other. The modes of connecting and entanglement varied, starting with the mediating role of Greek education in introducing Bulgarians to the modern European ideas of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Finally, the chapter highlights the impact of the timing and unevenness of the Bulgarian and Greek nation-building processes on the interaction. Keywords:Bulgarian-Greek relations; European ideas; French revolution; Greek education
