The First Bulgarian Empire

The story of how a steppe tribe managed to build a European Empire and shape the history of he continent in the process.

In this documentary by Eric Halsey we explore the rise and fall of the First Bulgarian Empire. It takes us through the vicious and unstable world of the Early Middle Ages and we watch as the Bulgar People use diplomacy and the art of warfare against other Slavic Peoples, the Byzantine Empire and etc.

From a migrating Steppe Tribe to a Medieval Empire that transforms into a Christian Empire to further adapt to the Medieval European World we are guided on a fascinating journey through violence, treachery, triumph and ruin.
