004 – The New State and The Eternal Challenges

In the last episode we discussed the complex and chaotic series of events which led to the breakup of the Old Great Bulgaria based around modern Ukraine. We saw how and why the Slavs and the Proto-Bulgarians under Asparukh migrated down into the Balkans and how the Byzantines failed to stop them in spectacular style.

This is a good series for those interested in Byzantium, Slavs, Ottomans, and the Balkans.

I am really glad a podcast is working on giving us the entire history of Bulgaria.
This region brings together a lot of different historical topics.
