More Information
0:16 There where obviously more towns/cities then just shown on this map.
0:38 Even though the Greek culture and language spread, the Greeks mostly stayed below the line shown before.
1:09 Or any other farmers from the people groups mentioned before.
8:19 Along with some Germanic Farmers like Lombards, Ostrogoths and Franks.
8:47 Even though Carantania would later on become Germanic at this point it was mostly Slavic and there are even records of Slavic farmers staving off Germanic Settlers coming from the West.
10:05 This is not to say that the Huns where Indo-European, this was a pour choice of words on my part. However it is believed that the Huns did control Indo-European tribes whilst in Europe and some of these tribes got then assimilated in to the Bulgar tribes.
12:20 This is just a snapshot of the Bulgar Empire at it's largest expanse, however this doesn't reflect the borders of the Bulgar state throughout most of it's life which where much smaller.
13:56 Boris didn't die in 889, just abdicated, he died in 907.
14:37 The coastal city states shown here under Byzantine control had a very complex political structure and not all of them where under a complete control by the Byzantines but it was simpler to just show them this way on the map.
15:05 It is not completely known whether both where either vassals or part of the empire, but considering the events that followed, I went with the most plausible statement.
15:59 It is still debated if he killed Radoslav or his son Prosigoj.
16:36 With a brief disruption in the middle by the Domagojevic dynasty.
17:40 It is also debated that around the middle 9th century the Serbians may have been forced alias or even vassals of the Bulgars for a while.

Sheit history of Balkans is like 1000 seasons of game of thrones
bruh, you have no idea :D
Keep in mind that this is just early south Slav history, this doesn't mention anything about ancient Greece, the Ottoman empire and ofc the Balkan wars. Also the Byzantine empire is briefly mentioned ofc because the point of this video is the Slavs not the Greeks.

The main reason why Bulgaria was so successful is because Asparuh convinced local Slavs to join him in the battle against the Byzantines. When they won he founded Bulgaria as a country of both Bulgars and Slavs together. Bulgar nobility ruled exclusively for a few generations initially but regarded both peoples equally and they soon merged into one culture.
The early rulers practiced genuine nation building in a style reminiscent of Thracian nobility. Thracian scripts may have also been a basis for the Cyrillic script.
can you give me sources about the nation building in a style of thracian nobility?
6:34 "So the Balkans were in this constant flux of uncertain political control by various groups."
Huh, and they say history doesn't repeat itself.
Said nobody ever
The actual saying is that history DOES repeat itself.
"History doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes."
Where did you find that information
The difference between today and then was the fluxing within ethnic tribes of Europeans.
Yep, especially when history is helped along the way by outside forces.
Correction about Boris 1 of Bulgaria - He didn't die in 889. He abdicated that year to his firstborn son - Vladimir Rasate, who, in turn, got taken down after trying to bring back paganism. In 893 Boris called a concil with which was decided that Boris's third son Simeon would take the throne.
Also the map of the ninth century is incorrect on the Serbo-Bulgarian border
This was the best explanation of how the Balkans became Slavic that I have encountered. Much better than the many books I have read on the subject and superman myths. Awesome.
Hahahah
Maybe it is the best, but the problem is that it never happened.
Slovenes are natives prior to Roman expansion. Sarmatians that came into Balkans in 7 century assimilated Slovene language to some extent and SerboCroatian was born. That's how they became Slavic.But not all of us.

Small corection - Boris the First died in 907 not in 887. I see why you may have been cnofused since he abdicated the throne to his firstborn and the thirdborn son (hella of a infighting)
Ah that lovely balkan.... The place full of peace and fights, what to say, arguing is in our blood.
well Balkan is cross road for North - South and West - East , we are not strong enough to be able to have our own interest so we follow interest of other Imperial countries that is why there were and still is a lot of wars in the Balkan.
We are never bored... :D

Wow, never heard that Bulgarian people lived originally in other side of the sea which is called "Great Bulgaria".
Really interesting video!
Those are the bulgarS, just 1 of the 3 main ethnic groups that form what are today the bulgarIANS. they were the political and military elite and were quickly assimilated in the local population, today we have even less than 1% of their dNA (however this is disputed because even the bulgar origin is uncertain, so no need to go deeper)
Yeah but it also causes confusion. One needs to distinguish the proto-Bulgars from the modern day Slavic Bulgarians. In short, the two nations mixed, and got on, and the Empire eventually adopted a Slavic personality due to the fact that the Turkic Bulgars assimilated. However, for one to be a Bulgarian in 2021 does not necessarily spell proto-Bulgar ancestry, while the Bulgars in turn settled across on the lands on both sides of the Adriatic (ex-Yugoslavia and Italy).
Get this, there was a time where 2 Bulgarias existed. This one and Voljka (Volga) Bulgaria. Voljka Bulgaria got destroyed and wiped out by the expanding Horde of Genghis Khan, later transforming into the Golden Horde that also almost wiped out the entirety of the Rus Principalities during the early 1200s.
Bulgars are NOT TURKISH!!! Bulgrs are from Alano-Persian group! And they are about 90% similar to today's Bulgarians!

History change face
Day by Day
Actually, the origins of the Bulgars are largely unknown. There are sources from Armenian writers telling us Old Bulgarians inhabited the Caucasuses for a period of time and that they had great stoneworking abilities and built stone houses when they migrated to the area. Because of all the evidence there is a newer theory regarding the origins of the Proto-Bulgarians, that states they are from Iranian descent and the Turkic elements we see in their culture were picked up later on, as many Turkic tribes migrated from Asia into the lands inhabited by the Old Bulgarians and vise versa.
Could be, but I think more research has to be done in to that as the current facts do present a valid argument but not necessarily a closed case.
@@MLaserHistory That's the case with all theories about Proto-Bulgarian history of origin, sadly. We just don't have the evidence to make some kind of a solid conclusion.

Nobody:
Alcek: Southern Italy it is!
Yeah I wonder what happened there
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celle_di_Bulgheria

Thank you for this video! It provides the context for some of the things you mentioned in your western slavic history video while explaining southern slavic settlement in a straightforward way. I look forward to your eastern slavs video!
Thanks for a great overview!
Some details I've pick up for myself over the years I can share for expanded context around what constituted the First Bulgarian state:
- The tribe that gave us our Bulgarian name(or at least a tribe by that name) is mentioned in Chinese sources a heck of a long ago in BC times already; that tribe arrived in the moder-ish day lands of Bulgaria with around as little as 100 000 people, 10 000 of them as a cavalry-dominant khan’s army
- They integrated with a local populace of ~2-2.5 million people, mostly Slavic tribes but also substantial numbers (maybe up to 40%) are still Thracian tribes and romanized urban populations
- It is not exactly clear if that integration was by force or by synergy - Slavic tribes were a predominantly infantry-centered force, and vastly outnumbered the Bulgarians, yet the Bulgarian clans held the succession of titles
- Converting to Christianity was a way to both centralize power and unite the populace. The son of Boris when he took over power reverted the change, so old Boris had to step away from the monastery, grab his sword, and have a counter-revolution ending with the blinding of his son.
As I understand, the Slavs had a very welcoming society and easily integrated outsiders. This can explain partially the assimilation of the Romanized Thracians still living there. Plus, after the imposition of Old Slavonic as liturgical language of the local Christian church, this helped Slavic language become the prestige language and slowly replace other languages (slowly, because mentions of the Vlachs, a Romance speaking population, appear for centuries after. In fact, only after the apparition of the independent nation states in late 19th century with their nationalistic policies were they thoroughly assimilated).
It's always a blessing seeing my country Slovenia mentioned anywhere. I know it's corny, but we are always forgotten by everyone.

What a great video!
Indoeuropean roots. Lot of words has same root, for example: Steel, Stahl, Stal / Iron, Icen, Acero, Acier / Sun, Sonne, Sol, Słońce
Actually no, indoeuropean words have a root in common and the use varies in diferent modern languages. An excellent example is the word "wòrd" wich means water, this word become unda in latin and is onda in spanish, onda means wave. You can see that words declinate from the common root
All this Slavs are one big nation,separate on tribes with diferent names from diferent regions but it was one big nation with same language and dna.There is no migration they just changing names of tribes tru history.
At 13:08 it's inaccurate though. There was no division between Rome and Constantinople in terms of the religious doctrine.
Your channel is one of the best on YT!
One thing that I always think is important to mention about ancient settlements in the Balkans is that we have to remember that they didn't have access to the New World vegetables like potatoes which are better suited for mountainous areas.
Good presentation. South Slavic history is complicated because of how many people move into and around the area and how political the history is today.
AHH FINALLY THE DAY HAS COME,I CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH THIS.
EDIT : I love you,it was worth waiting more then half a year for this video,and you managed to stay perfectly unbiased.Seriously you deserve a fucking medal for this video.
your video is great! You cover a period that was totally unknown by me, but actually it helps quite a bit to explain where we stand today. Thank you!
A great video! In the end you say that the slavic Balkans wasn't completely slavicised and that there were a lot of non-slavic speaking groups. This is very true. I know that in Croatia, the dalmatian cities were not fully slavicised until well after the middle ages, with the last speaker of the Dalmatian Romance language having died in 1898. In parallel, many speakers of eastern romance languages lived in the hills and became Vlachs and Morlachs, leading a transhumance pastoralist life. The actual Slavs initially mostly inhabited tha pannonian part of Croatia and the fertile parts of the coast, leaving the cities, the mountains and the smaller islands to the romance speakers. The romance languages later faced a double pressure to assimilate either into slavic speakers or into Venetian/Italian, which accelerated their disapparence.
A great Comment!
I am really disappointed that Delmat language is dead. It looks like a pretty language
Many were also ETHNICALLY CLEANSED to Italy by the USTASHA.
Substantial remnants of Dalmatian Romance language survive in the dialects of the Dalmatian Islands today, many of which are uninteligable to most mainland Croatians. Some ethnic Italians from Istria & central Dalmatia slavicised their names during the course of the 20th century, my mothers family included.
You are absolutely right about the non-slavic speaking groups , there must have been lots of them and the slavic ( then ottoman ) pressure did accelerate their disappearance south of the Danube but look at what happened on the north side ...
Thank you. Finding a good and unbiased video about the Balkans made by brothers usually goes south real fast.
Honestly, that was the best video on this subject I have ever seen! Congratulations!
Proud to be South Slavic

Wow keep up the good work, great vid :)
Good stuff, would love a video more focused on Bulgaria
A video about the avars would be great. Really liked this video
Check Bavaria the only name in Europe that has as a root the word Avar. I know the helens say that Albanians are of avarian origin ,and is true that in albania the last name avari exist but that should not confuse us, the name alba, or arvani or arber cannot arrive from the root avar.
Absolutely phenomenal video
I can't wait for your later histories of the Slavs! Молодец!
I know this is unrelated, but how did you make those maps? Also, I love all the detail you put into a subject people tend to generalize!!
I love your animation skills. And I love the use of very detailed map, very very detailed map with detail rivers and mountain heights showed in colours; with such map you can see different layers of history.
wow you are the first person I've ever seen mention that part about one of the brothers taking his people to modern-day macedonia. very interesting to think about. Always assumed that the Bulgarian migration occurred after this time period when Bulgaria was more established and migrants started to move south.
One of the brothers settled in today's Italy, hence you have last names such as Bulgaro, Bulgari, Bulgarini, Bulgarelli, etc. and a town in central Italy called Bulgare.
Yeah and macedonians still claim to be descendants of alexander

Superb presentation. Thank you.
You did your homework bro, thats a hard history to follow good job.
Great Video...and really accurately presented the Bulgarian part
The truth about Macedonia...
There is tons of evidence that almost all the national heroes we have considered to be Macedonians in Republic of Northern Macedonia so far have considered themselves as Bulgarians in one way or another!
Even the father of the so called Macedonian nation, philosopher Krustyo Petkov Misirkov is a pure Bulgarian, born in 1926 in Sofia, Kingdom of Bulgaria!
He is also often regarded as "the founder of contemporary Macedonian literary language".
Gorche Petrov proudly states this in his book "Study Materials about Macedonia".
There he writes that the Macedonian population is made up of Bulgarians, Greeks, Turks, Arnauts, Roma and Vlachs, but the Serbs are not mentioned anywhere!
All this is described in detail in a literary Bulgarian language in a book with over 700 pages in 1896.
The motto of all Bulgarians from the Macedonian region has always been only one ...

@@leckyboy1475 македония е българска.
@@leckyboy1475 Maybe that's because my grand grandfather is from Stip, and my other grand grand father is from Drama region in Greece, which is also Macedonia. And that applies to at least 1/3 of Bulgarian people, because we had close to 1 million refugees after the Balkan Wars and First World War from Aegean and Vardar Macedonia. At that time Bulgaria was less than 4 million. And that is one thing that was hidden for you for many years. Among many other things.

Informative and highly interesting. Спасибо большое!
13:48 The reason for the invention of Cyrillic script may not have been the fact that Glagolitic script was not suitable for Old Bulgarian / Old Church Slavonic, since both Glagolitic and Cyrillic script had had pretty much the same letters (for comparison visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glagolitic_script#Characteristics ), including the Slavic letters such as "Yat". Perhaps the reason was more the fact that Glagolitic script is more difficult to learn / teach / read.
That's not to say that Glagolitic script is worse (but it is more difficult). It is arguably one of the most beautiful scripts, similar to the current Georgian script, and also, a lot of the letters that sound the same, e.g. "G" and "H", also have similar looking letters (Ⰳ and Ⱈ), which is not the case in, for example Latin alphabet.
Very informative and useful thank you

We have still a love hate relation. In open there is anymosity, but in the background we sit together in kafana and enjoy eacb other differences and similarities
Most of Croats and Serbs hang out besides politics and trying to push bad history and habits away. Hope our future to be better.
These are the places I'm most curious about and would most like to visit - along with Anatolia and the -stan countries. They're fascinating to me since they're kind of like border areas between multiple cultures - at least historically.

@@Dian_Borisov_SW I cannot say for sure since I haven't looked that much into it.
But most dynastic clues will lead to Kubrat who was partially turkik in decent.

Great, accurate and unbiased video great job and greetings from Bulgaria!
sadly the video didn't go far enough for us to learn how bosnia came to be but still a lovely video about my people and our history!! And ofc i hope you make a part 2 of some sort , i would love that , the slavic history is rarely covered here on youtube
Well judging by what Ive learned,what this video shows and Bosnia's area of birth witch is around the river of Bosna im guessing that other settled south slavic tribes(not serb or croat) and mixed remnants of germanic, avaric, latin, greek and lliryan population gave birth to this duchy.
I always thought Bosnia is a meme country declared through some American grapevine for some strategic reason after they broke up the old country. Can easily see it as basis for further conflict.
@@Kafchuga That's very unlikely. Before the Ottoman invasion and forced Islamization, Bosnians were always considered as Serbs. The best example would be that the first king of Bosnia, King Tvrtko I Kotromanić had a title "King of Serbs" although his territorial rule was over entire Bosnia, Hum and parts of Dalmatia. If there were other people under his rule, he would have included them in his title without a doubt.
Today's Bosnia consists of Croats, Boshniaks and Serbs, but Boshniaks are just Islamized Serbs, there are numerous historical references to confirm this fact.
Also, this video makes a lot of modern false assumptions. For example, "Serbo-Croatian" language is a very modern and very absurd idea. Croatian language, dialect of the South Slavic, is Čajkavica, while Serbian is Štokavica. Serbo-Croatian is only Štokavica, meaning only Serbian, which is a digraphic language, and this was used to create a false separation to Serbian and Croatian as part of the nationalistic and political struggles. However, Croatian language is still used in parts of Croatia, although their official language is Serbian, they just call it Croatian, same as in N. Macedonia, Montenegro and Bosnia, although after the wars of the 1990 they had all renamed the language by the names of these new-founded countries.
With these modern assumptions, many errors arise. The first well recorded history of the Serbs is that of the Nemanjić dynasty (they are the center of modern Serbian national identity). Yet they originate from Zeta region/tribe and only after they had united multiple regions and tribes, combined they call themselves Serbs. Also, there is no separate historical record of a single Serbian tribe, this name us always used for larger groups of South Slavic tribes, unlike ex. Croats or Moravians, implying that Serbs are not a single tribe but a group of South Slavic tribes. This further is supported by historians like Mavro Orbini, who for example puts Croatian insignia grouped as part of insignias under the Nemanjić Serbian insignia.
@@storymatters7309 I have noticed that way too many people now days miss the difference between region and ethnicity. In middle ages (and before) there was no concept of national state, and people of the same ethnicity were separated in multiple countries/regions that were even often in war with one another. Bosnia was not named by Bosnian people, but by river Bona. Not even today there is a specific Bosnian nation/ethnicity, but Bosnia is a country of three constitutional people: Serbs, Croats and Bošnjaks (named themselves like that in 1993, before just called Muslims). So it is very difficult to say someone was Bosnian. Of course he was Bosnian, but then the founder of Serbian Nemanjić dynasty (from which was that Serbian prices you mentioned) was Zettan (or whatever the English term for people from Zeta is), and later Serbian rulers from the same dynasty were Rasians (people from Raška) and later Macedonians, since these were the lands where they were born and lived. On this same way you could argue that Normans are not French or Bavarians are not German, or that Alexander of Macedonia was not Greek (Helen), or that I am not Serb because I would always proudly call myself Dalmatian.
But there was no mention of Tvrtko being the King of Bosnians. His title was "King of Serbs, Bosnia, Costal lands and Hum". If he had ruled over some Bosnian group of people he would make sure to include it in his title. Further more, it is not true that there was a missing hair, Mrnjavčević dynasty was set to replace Nemanjić dynasty and last Serbian tzar Uroš had named Marko Mrnjavčević a young king and gave him a right of succession. Also, there was prince Lazar, who was actually crowned tzar by the patriarch, but was challenged by Tvrtko. Also, Tvrtko did not assert himself as king because "his grandparents from his mother side were Serbs", but because they were from the Nemanjić royal dynasty, which gave him a right of succession. Bosnian bans were very powerful since Kulin Ban, which gave them a lot of de facto independence and sovereignty but they were sill bans, and that's one of the lowest titles that is a title of local lords that are under the rule of some other prince/king/tzar.
@@storymatters7309 yes, Bosnian LAND. Just as I had said, as his title says. King of Serbs (people), Bosnia (land), etc.. You have confirmed exacly what I have said. You must take everything in the context, not cherry pick fragments to try to prove a point. Ex, "POVELJA DUBROVČANIMA 1378"
To be in Christ Jesus faithful and by God apointed Stephan (Serbian Nemanjić dynasty name), King of Serbs (people) and Bosnia and... (his lands). And then I had started my reighn with God and rebuild the trone of Serbia (here he directly puts Bosnia as a land in Serbia) with wish to erect what was fallen and streighten what was damaged.

With so much information, I know that it is impossible to mention everything. I do have a couple of small details that were not mentioned as it pertains to Croats settling the area. The first being that there was some kind of treaty or offer of settlement (contingent on Christianizing) from either Rome or Byzantium extended to Croats to settle the region after it was largely vacated due to raids and economic ruin. For the life of me, I can't recall the name of the document or where it can be found. A similar situation may have occurred with Serbs, given that they entered the area around the same and managed to unify the Slavs who were there before them.
The other thing I would mention was that the Croatian Kingdom allied with Byzantium during one of their wars with the Bulgarian empire. As such, they were rewarded with Southern Dalmatia, which demographically, had already become largely Slavic any way. The Adriatic coast remained largely Slavic demographically until later Venetian colonization which brought back some Latin populations.
Will you do a continuation on balkan history?
Good representation of Slovenia. Even Slovenes rarely know of the fact that we have common roots with Czechs and Slovaks. Even though we no longer share national or cultural border, we still have more in common that with our southern neighbours.
Anyway all slavs share a lot of common stuff
