Creation of the First Bulgarian Empire on the Balkans
In 632 the Bulgars, originally from the ancient country Bactria under the leadership of Khan Kubrat an independent state that became known as Great Bulgaria. Its territory extended from the lower course of the Danube to the west, the Black Sea and the Azov Sea to the south, the Kuban River to the east, and the Donets River to the north.[11] Pressure from the Khazars led to the subjugation of Great Bulgaria in the second half of the 7th century. Kubrats successor, Khan Asparuh, migrated with some of the Bulgar tribes to the lower courses of the rivers Danube, Dniester and Dniepr (known as Ongal), and conquered Moesia and Scythia Minor (Dobrudzha) from the Byzantine Empire, expanding his new khanate further into the Balkan Peninsula.[12] A peace treaty with Byzantium in 681 and the establishment of the Bulgar capital of Pliska south of the Danube mark the beginning of the First Bulgarian Empire. At the same time one of Asparuh's brothers, Kuber, settled with another Bulgar group in present-day[update] Macedonia.[13] During the siege of Constantinople in 717-718 the Bulgarian ruler Khan Tervel honoured his treaty with the Byzantines by sending troops to help the populace of the imperial city.

Fortress Ruins from First Bulgarian Kingdom, Melnik, Bulgaria
I'm hoping this posts! When I first saw these ruins on Saint Constantine hill, I thought they were of Roman or Greek origin. Then I bought a tourist guide, entitled *Melnik: Former, Present, Future* (nd) that gave me a little more info. I'll add some more details later, but basically: Melnik was a main traffic site that attracted the Romans who used it to help them gain a stronghold on Bulgaria (np). The Romans established the Byzantine Empire in 1014, which lasted about 200 years; but the fortification fortress was built about 200 years before that. The fortress extends down the left of Saint Constantine hill. There's also the remnants of an old church or castle on the far right of the hill. You can get to it either by following the trail from the main part of the fortress, or by walking down the hill, crossing left and following the winding trail; you'll know you're on the right track when you start passing lamp posts - but keep going past the hotel on the left until you see the white house on top of the hill.

Perpericon, The Rock-cut City, Bulgaria
The earliest traces of human civilization discovered so far at Perperikon were dated to the late Neolithic Period, 6th-5th millennium BC. However, Perperikon was not yet a settled village but a rock of worship. Next came the Eneolithic Period (or the Copper Age). Fragments of pottery dated to the late 5th - early 4th millennium BC were found. By the end of the Bronze Age Perperikon had become a major place of worship. Perperikon comprises four elements: the citadel, an acropolis at the top of the hill; a palace or temple immediately beneath the acropolis and facing southeast; and two outer cities, one on the northern and one on the southern slope of the hill. So far, no archaeological research has been done of the two outer cities but terrain observations indicate that they had streets and secular and religious buildings carved in the rock. A host of villages flocked at the foot of the hill and the fertile river valley was densely inhabited throughout the period of Roman rule. The hilltop was protected by the acropolis whose walls are 8 and a half feet thick. The citadel had probably been built earlier but the Romans renovated it and enhanced the fortifications. The riches hidden in the Eastern Rhodope had attracted the Bulgars since the late 7th century, when they first settled on the plain between the Danube and the Balkan Mountains to form the kernel of what was to become the first Bulgarian empire. Their expansionist ambitions were spurred on by the local population ...

Bulgaria vs. Serbia - Serbia was conquered twice
www.blic.rs Tsardom Bulgaria vs.Banovina Serbia Bulgaria is creator of the golden slav civilization and the Cyrillic alphabet. The first Bulgarian kingdoms on European soil date back to the early Middle Ages (7th century). All Bulgarian political entities that subsequently emerged preserved the traditions (in ethnic name, language and alphabet) of the First Bulgarian Empire (632/681 1018), which at times covered most of the Balkans and spread its alphabet, literature and culture among the Slavic and other peoples of Eastern Europe. Centuries later, with the decline of the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185 1396/1422). Simeon's greatest achievement consisted of Bulgaria developing a rich, unique Christian Slavonic culture, which became an example for the other Slavonic peoples in Eastern Europe and ensured the continued existence of the Bulgarian nation regardless of the centrifugal forces that threatened to tear it into pieces throughout its long and war-ridden history. "The Bulgarians werre the people who contributed the most for the organization and formatrion of the civilization of the whole eastern Europe and its introduction into the civilized world." Prof. Geza Fecher, Hungary "The Bulgarian medieval culture is among the seven civilizations in the history of the world which played an essencial role because of its mission as a link between the East and the West."

First Balkan War
On the 9th of October 1912 the Balkan League including Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and Montenegro declared war on the Ottoman Empire. The aim of the Balkan League was to liberate their brothers under Turkish rule. The whole world was astonished by the victories of the Bulgarian Army which liberated the City-Fortress of Odrin. The walls of Odrin were constructed by German engineers and the city was considered to be one of the most well-protected cities in the world. However the Bulgarians liberated it in less than a week. The Ottoman Empire suffered great losses and drew back its forces behind the line of Midia-Enos.

Roman Empire & Republic Conquests [509 BC - 476 AD]
Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea, it became one of the largest empires in the ancient world. In its centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. It came to dominate South-Western Europe, South-Eastern Europe/Balkans and the Mediterranean region through conquest and assimilation. The Western Roman Empire went into decline and disappeared in the 5th century AD. Plagued by internal instability and attacked by various migrating peoples, the western part of the empire, including Hispania, Gaul, Britannia and Italy, broke up into independent kingdoms in the 5th century. The Eastern Roman Empire, otherwise known as the Byzantine Empire, was governed from Constantinople, comprising Greece, parts conquered by the First Bulgarian Empire, Anatolia, Syria and Egypt, survived this crisis, and despite the loss of Syria and Egypt to the Arab Islamic Empire, revived and would live on for another millennium, until its last remains were finally annexed by the emerging Turkish Ottoman Empire. This eastern, Christian, medieval stage of the Empire is usually referred to as the Byzantine Empire by historians. Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity" with ancient Greece, a civilization that inspired much of the culture of ancient Rome ...

Іду на Ви! - I come at you! - Иду на Вы
Svyatoslav the Brave - was a warrior prince of Kyivan Rus. Sviatoslav is famous for his incessant campaigns in the east and south, which precipitated the collapse of two great powers of Eastern Europe— Jewish-Khazaria and the First Bulgarian Empire. Before the war, Sviatoslav sent a message to the hostile rulers, consisting of a single phrase: "I come at you!". Sviatoslav destroyed the Jewish-Khazar city of Sarkel around 965, and possibly sacked (but did not occupy) the Jewish-Khazar city of Kerch on the Crimea. At Sarkel he established a Rus' settlement called Belaya Vyezha ("the white tower" or "the white fortress", the East Slavic translation for "Sarkel"). He subsequently (probably in 968 or 969) destroyed the Jewish-Khazar capital of Atil. A visitor to Atil wrote soon after Sviatoslav's campaign: "The Rus attacked, and no grape or raisin remained, not a leaf on a branch." Ukraine-Rus remember that and proud!

Bulgaria HiLites: Nesebar, Black Sea Coast
Nesebar, also transcribed as Nessebar or Nesebur; ancient name: Mesembria) is an ancient city and a major seaside resort on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, located in Nesebar municipality, Burgas Province. Often referred to as the "Pearl of the Black Sea" and "Bulgaria's Dubrovnik", Nesebar is a rich city-museum defined by more than three millennia of ever-changing history. Originally a Thracian settlement known as Menebria, the town became a Greek colony when settled by Dorians from Megara at the beginning of the 6th century BC, and was an important trading centre from then on and a rival of Apollonia (Sozopol). It remained the only Doric colony along the Black Sea coast, as the rest were typical Ionic colonies. Remains from the Hellenistic period include the acropolis, a temple of Apollo, and an agora. A wall which formed part of the fortifications can still be seen on the north side of the peninsula. Bronze and silver coins were minted in the city since the 5th century BC and gold coins since the 3rd century BC. The town fell under Roman rule in 71 BC, yet continued to enjoy privileges such as the right to mint its own coinage. It was one of the most important strongholds of the Byzantine Empire from the 5th century AD onwards, and was fought over by Byzantines and Bulgarians, being captured and incorporated in the lands of the First Bulgarian Empire in 812 by Khan Krum after a two week siege only to be ceded back to Byzantium by Knyaz Boris I in 864 and reconquered ...

The Madara Rider
The Madara Rider, representing the figure of a knight triumphing over a lion, is carved into a 100-m-high cliff near the village of Madara in north-east Bulgaria. Madara was the principal sacred place of the First Bulgarian Empire before Bulgaria's conversion to Christianity in the 9th century. The inscriptions beside the sculpture tell of events that occurred between AD 705 and 801.
