🚩 The Battle of Achelous was one of the last major efforts of the fading Byzantine Empire to re-expand their territory, and influence, into southeastern Europe. Instead, it was an unmitigated military disaster for the Byzantines, essentially leaving their entire northern frontier exposed to conquest by Bulgarian armies from Western Asia. Moreover, the battle effectively marked the end of Byzantium as a great power, though the rump state continued to hang on for five more centuries.

I offer this humble comment to the algorithm gods
It's Tsar Simeon. Good video.
Battle of Kosovo video was a really bold move since there is a lot of "edgy" Turk sympathizers out there
Fake retreats are so yesterday. I'm all for the horse ruining everything.
As horses do.
In doubt, pull back behind the walls of Constantinople.
Videos about Byzantine history is like a car accident… I know its going to end horribly but I cant help to rubberneck..
It's looks like that Bulgarians have always been a Thorne in the back of Eastern orthodox world (Arabs …Turks and many and yet Byzantine had to give much resources to fight Bulgarians and even after the victory of first Balkan war they ruined that with second Balkan war )
Wait how did this battle end Byzantium as a great power when the Bulgar-Slayer hasn't even shown up yet
Praised be the algorithm for sending me it n.n
Great channel
I never knew Bulgaria had ever been so large
😋
this was a stolen victory that the Bulgarians did not deserve, of course a little later things would be corrected
Bulgaria always kicking ass vs Byzantine empire.
