Slavo-Bulgarian History

Slavo-Bulgarian history refers to the period when Slavic peoples and the Bulgarian state interacted, especially during the medieval era. After the Bulgarian Empire declined in the 7th century, Slavic tribes migrated into the region, gradually forming local communities. By the 9th century, Bulgaria became a unified Christian empire, where Slavic culture and language were central. The Bulgarian Empire played a crucial role in spreading Slavic literacy and Orthodox Christianity. Over time, Bulgarian identity blended Slavic, Byzantine, and local elements, shaping the region’s history and culture through political shifts, religious development, and cultural achievements.
