Look up mediaeval Bulgaria.
Also, the end of the Russo-Turkish war of the 1870s. The WW2 Bulgaria was slightly smaller than the borders agreed to in 1878 under the Treaty of San Stefano, before pressure from Britain, Germany, Austria etc. forced the Russians to back down, & a much smaller Bulgaria was agreed to in the Treaty of Berlin..
I was being sarcastic. Bulgaria did increase and decrease in size at varios stages, but so did many other countries / empires around the world.
Bulgarians need to snap out of their fantasy of a greater Bulgaria and accept the current situation as reality. That goes for certain other countries in the Balkans

“One large bulgarian nation”, the only one i can ever remember is the territory that bulgars occupied from its neighbours in WWII during its alliance with nazi germany
