Summary/Abstract: The text describes the conversion to Christianity of the Slavic Muslims in Bulgaria during the Balkan war (1912–1913). The main focus is on the Historiography about the event by comparing different opinions from memoirs, documents, articles, books and etc. The event is represented in the context of the Balkan war, which effects not only Bulgaria, but the whole Balkan region. This is done by comparing different points of view from different authors – historians or writers. After all it`s a trau- 237 matic event for the Muslims themselves many of whom lost their homes or were forced to live very miserable. Also, it was used to discredit Bulgaria in front of their neighbors who won the wars and got the most benefits. These events made Bulgarian Muslims even more isolated then they were ever before instead of attracting them to the Bulgarian state and national cause.
