Eastern Rumelia

Eastern Rumelia was a province of the Ottoman Empire that achieved a semi-autonomous status under the Treaty of Berlin, 1878, which replaced the Treaty of San Stefano between Russia and the Ottomans a few months earlier. The Bulgarians in Rumelia revolted against Turkish rule on 6 September 1885, and united the province with the Principality of Bulgaria soon thereafter. Its capital was Plovdiv (also known as Philippopolis).
