Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Ancient Civilizations continues with an episode on how the Slavs came to the Balkans. Previously we talked about the origin of the Slavic peoples (Origin of the Slavic People DOCUMENTARY), while in this video we will describe how the Slavs came to the Balkans, reshaping the region's cultural and political landscape. Beginning with the descent of Slavic tribes during the 6th century, we trace their arrival in territories like Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Witness the Byzantine responses as the Eastern Roman Empire struggled to reclaim its dominance through both military campaigns and diplomacy. Dive into the destinations of the Slavic settlers, from the Adriatic shores of modern Croatia to the mountainous regions of Serbia and Bulgaria, where they formed proto-states. Learn about the Sclavenii societies, their customs, and their evolution into medieval powerhouses. Finally, discover the impact of the Byzantine Commonwealth, shaping Slavic kingdoms into enduring forces in European history. Illyrians: History of the Illyrians - Ancient Civiliz...
