Poor Macedonians tho

Literally had to stop being Macedonians

We call them West Bulgaria.

North-Macedonia just sounds so

Meh

I keep imagining Bulgarians as Russian lites

We ain't Thracians either now, but I can assure you the traces of their civilization haven't completely disappeared.

Not that I want to, I just have never seen anything of Bulgaria

ever

That's the most stupid part-everyone thinks of us as some south Russian province when in fact we are a separate people, with a separate history.

Cause nowadays we are small country.

You had been since the 1200s

Some people know of our Medieval empires but not much about modern society.

Nope, since the 600s in Europe.

In Asia-since 5000 years ago.

You still had your empire when we arrived

In around 900

We are ancient as fuck and nobody pays attention to the fact.

Yeah, I know before the times of your kings it was you who wanted permission from our tzars to stay in Europe.

Before you made your country.

it's the problem with all the countries that were conquered by Ottoman Empire; even the western historians tend to behave like their history doesn't matter

except for Greece

Looking up pictures

And if we hadn't beaten the khazars before that may be, you wouldn't even had it.

>conquered

omegakek

Y’all all really out here posting titties instead of saving western civilization <:why:462286147473637407>

Medieval Bulgaria seems really close to a Cross between medieval hungary and byzantium

in style at least

TAKING A HEADCOUNT: ARE THERE ANY ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS IN THIS ROOM

@alatos Byzantine Greece also doesn't matter for Western historians.

A lot of ancient history only survived because of arabic and ottoman scholars who wandered around writing things down; Isn't that unusual for some of it to skew their way.

while we are speaking of Byzantium

You look A LOT more western than I thought

yeah, the Ancient Greece is the only one that seems to matter

@yordanyordanov eat my ass, my history professor is Byzantocentric

but Eastern nevertheless

@spooky ducc Where are you from?

America.

We practically built the Eastern European civilization back in the day.

Before the turks run us over.
