Bulgaria's life expectancy from birth was just 36 years at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and it increased to 40 years by the beginning of the twentieth century (the consistency of this increase suggests that the figures are based on the average for the 1800s). Life expectancy then increased to 43.8 years by 1915, before the First World War and Spanish Flu Pandemic caused it to fall by almost two years. Apart from a small decrease in the 1940s, due to the Second World War, Bulgaria's life expectancy then grew to 70 years in the 1960s, where it plateaued around 71 until the 2000s. In the past two decades, life expectancy has increased again by almost four years, reaching almost 75 years in 2020.
