Southern Dobruja (Dobrudzha in Bulgarian, Dobrogea de sud or Cadrilater in Romanian) is an area of north-eastern Bulgaria comprising the two former administrative districts named for its two principal cities of Dobrich and Silistra. It has an area of 7565 km² and a population of 358,000.
History
First joined to modern Bulgaria at its restoration as a state in 1878, it was a part of Romania from 1913 until 1940.
In 1940, the Nazi Germany imposed Romania in the Treaty of Craiova to cede it to Bulgaria with a population exchange (the Romanian minority was forced to leave the south while the Bulgarian minority had to leave the north).
