Rumelia, former region and Ottoman province of the Balkan Peninsula, parts of which are now Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, and Turkey. The province centred on the Roman and Byzantine provinces of Thrace and Macedonia. In 1878, by the terms of the Congress of Berlin, part of Rumelia became autonomous as the principality of Bulgaria, and Eastern Rumelia remained under the Turks. In 1885 Bulgaria annexed Eastern Rumelia, and in 1908 they were officially united. See also Balkan Wars.
