DOBRUDJA (Bulgarian Dobritch, Rumanian Dobrogea)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 352 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DOBRUDJA (Bulgarian Dobritch, Rumanian Dobrogea) , also written DOBRUDSCHA, and DoBRUJA, a region of
south
 -eastern Europe, bounded on the north and west by the Danube, on the
east
  by the Black Sea, and on the
south
  by Bulgaria. . Pop. (1900) 267,808; area, 6000 sq. m. The strategic importance of this territory was recognized by the Romans, who defended it on the south by " Trajan's
Wall
 ," a
double
  rampart,
drawn
  from Constantza, on the Black Sea, to the Danube. In later times. it was utilized by Russians and Turks, as in the wars of 1828, ;'854
and 1878, when it was finally wrested from Turkey. By the treaty of Berlin, in 1878, the Russians rewarded their Rumanian allies with this land of mountains, fens and barren
steppes
 , peopled by Turks, Bulgarians,
Tatars
 ,
Jews
  and other aliens; while, to add to the indignation of Rumania, they annexed instead the fertile country of
Bessarabia
 , largely inhabited by Rumans. After 188o, however, the steady decrease of aliens, and,the development of the Black Sea ports, rendered the Dobrudja a source of prosperity to Rumania.
