Petar Angelov (military officer)

Petar Angelov was a Macedonian Bulgarian military officer. He was a prominent member of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO).

While biographical details are somewhat scarce and sometimes conflicting depending on the source, Angelov is generally recognized for his involvement in the Macedonian struggle for autonomy and eventual unification with Bulgaria. He participated in various IMRO activities, often as a voivode (leader) of a cheta (armed band). His activities were primarily focused in the regions of Macedonia under Ottoman rule during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Specific details regarding his birth date, place of birth, and precise military actions are often difficult to verify due to the historical context and incomplete records. He is often mentioned in the context of other more well-known IMRO figures, suggesting he was a significant, if less prominent, figure in the organization. He played a role in armed struggles and raids against Ottoman authorities and, later, against Serbian and Greek forces during the Balkan Wars and the interwar period. He is remembered as a fighter for Macedonian Bulgarian rights and autonomy.
