Four phenomenal talents have emerged from the famed Ajax Academy. Will it be another wasted Dutch generation or the one to finally win the World Cup?
In the mid-1800s, a Bulgarian man by the name of Vasil Levski was coordinating a revolution against the Ottoman Empire. After multiple failed armed attempts in his younger years, Levski began to sow the seeds of a deeper, more intricate revolution around the Bulgarian region. He published an ideological statute and helped to create revolutionary bases in many towns and cities. Levski’s work was a major reason why the national attitude shifted away from Ottoman sympathy, leading to the April Uprising in 1876.
Vasil Levski wasn’t there to witness the initial stages of an independent Bulgaria – he was captured and hung three years prior. This is the inherently risky nature of leading a revolution.
