Over a span of two centuries, from the early ninth through the early eleventh, and under the leadership of the Bulgarian rulers Krum, Simeon I, and Samuil, those conflicts evolved from simple confrontations for territorial possession into a life-or-death struggle for imperial precedence within the Orthodox world then emerging in Eastern Europe--a struggle that the Bulgarians ultimately lost. The primary focus is on Bulgaria, rather than Byzantium, and an effort is made to provide a historically reliable chronology of the assorted campaigns. The various belligerents' military organizations, defensive technologies, armaments, and tactics are surveyed in an introduction to the main narrative. A prelude chapter sets the stage for the hegemonic conflict, which was divided into three distinct phases by interludes of relative peace between the contending parties, during which Bulgaria's domestic, foreign, and cultural developments shaped the nature and conduct of the fighting in each successive phase. 001358439 650_0 $$aHistory. 001358439 650_0 $$aHistory, Ancient. 001358439 650_0 $$aMilitary history. 001358439 650_0 $$aImperialism. 001358439 651_0 $$aEurope$$xHistory$$yTo 476. 001358439 651_0 $$aEurope$$xHistory$$y476-1492. 001358439 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358439 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319562056 001358439 852__ $$bebk 001358439 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-56206-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358439 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358439$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358439 980__ $$aBIB 001358439 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358439 982__ $$aEbook 001358439 983__ $$aOnline 001358439 994__ $$a92$$bISE
