Correct Answer

Answered by ExamLex AI

The Bulgars, also known as Proto-Bulgarians, were a semi-nomadic people of Turkic descent who are thought to have originated from Central Asia. They played a significant role in the history of Eastern Europe during the early Middle Ages. The Bulgars were known for their skills in warfare, horsemanship, and their ability to forge alliances and establish states in the regions they migrated to. The origins of the Bulgars are somewhat obscure, but it is believed that they were related to various Turkic tribes that roamed the Eurasian steppes. By the 5th century, they had migrated westward and were located near the Black Sea and the Caucasus region. In the 7th century, under the leadership of Khan Asparuh, a faction of Bulgars crossed the Danube River and settled in the Balkan Peninsula, where they merged with the local Slavic populations. This fusion of Bulgar and Slavic cultures gave rise to the First Bulgarian Empire in 681 AD, which became a significant power in southeastern Europe. The state they established was recognized by the Byzantine Empire, and it played a crucial role in the regional politics of the time. The Bulgarian state went through various periods of power and decline, eventually adopting Christianity in the 9th century, which further helped to integrate the Bulgar elite with the Slavic majority. The term "Bulgars" is also associated with the creation of the Cyrillic script, which was developed in the First Bulgarian Empire and helped to spread literacy and Orthodox Christianity throughout the Slavic world. Over time, the distinct Bulgar identity gradually merged with that of the Slavic population, leading to the modern Bulgarian nation. The legacy of the Bulgars is still evident in the name of the country Bulgaria and in the cultural and historical heritage of the Bulgarian people.
