between the Black sea and the Caspian sea.In present borders
the state of Bulgaria was established in 681 AD.In that year khan
Asparuh, son of Kubrat and leader of a branch of the nomadic Bulgars
who were imigrating in their search of new land and living,crossed
the Danube river and managed to unite the local Slavic tribes and
ancient Thracian people into a common state.Medieval Bulgaria was
one of most powerful states in Europe.In fact in the 8th sentury there
