Greeks, Turks and Rumanians.
The Slays In the Balkans constitute
the southern branch OF the Slavonic
race. and are themselves divided into
Jugo-Slavs (Serb-Croats and Slovenesl
and Bulgarians who are not pure Slav,
The Bulgars are FIRST mentioned In
history as having lived in the steppes
to the north OF the Black sea in is2
A. ID.
In the sixth and seventh centuries
they expanded from eastern Russia and
settled along the Danube.
Gradually the Bulgars became fused
with the Slavs, and so completely were
they submerged that beyond a few
personal names no traces Of the Ian
guage OF the Bulgars have survived.
From the ninth century 81 the four
teenth. except for periods when II was
under Greek rule, Bulgaria maintained
its independence as an empire. In 1893
the Turks conquered the country, and
Bulgaria was the last OF the Balkan
States to emancipate Itself from the
power OF Constantlnople.
In 1870 began the series OF lnsurrec-
tions, some Of them having a religious
basis. which finally led to the indie
pendencC OF Bulgaria. In 1873 a prln-

Immediately Ferdinand cast about
him for other worlds to conquer and

This league was organized In 1911 by
