In this episode, we move a little north of Constantinople to Bulgaria. During the years of turmoil at the Capital, the Bulgarians rebelled against Isaac Angelov and broke away, forming the Second Bulgarian Empire. At first, it didn't look too promising, but then the third crusade happened, which bought the Bulgarians more time and freedom, and then the Fourth Crusaders sacked the capital. All these events allowed for the birth and growth of the Second Bulgarian to become the powerhouse of the Balkans in the medieval era.
The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the Modern Day.
