๐ฉ Basil II's persistent and successful war against a strong Bulgarian kingdom under its tsar Samuel established Eastern Roman Empire's domination over the Balkans after four hundred years of tribes and khanates dominating the region. In the east, he scored military victories against the Fatimids and Georgians, as well as extending the empire's influence into Armenia and Syria.
His frugal policies stabilized the treasury and the state, leaving the empire the strongest it has been in centuries, militarily and economically. But for all his achievements he neglected his duty of siring an heir to the throne. This two-hour video is a story about his reign.
Basil II will always be an exceedingly interesting figure in world history. He isn't talked about enough by people in the west.
Hi HistoryMarche can you make video on india
โThe mid 1900โsโ dang didnโt take long to have a misread
the Bardsar Phokas rebellion was after the battle of arcadiopolis,
LUL Bulgarian, fake empire
The Balkans wishes these events were going down there in the mid 1900โs…as opposed to being fought over by Germany & Britain, then occupied, fought over by Germany & Russia, occupied again, followed by the lowering of the Iron Curtain between them and the West and the beginning of the Cold War, whose end would foment genocidal conflict!
