The Strange History Behind the Balkan Slavs

What is the strange, but interesting, history behind the Balkan Slavs? A unique subgroup in the Balkans with connections to many groups in Europe and beyond. Today we are going to discuss the Southern-most Slavic group who have quite the attitude, but one of the most interesting histories in all of Europe.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the South/Balkan Slavic peoples and what region or organization you think their future is intertwined with. Thanks for watching!

    I have met a number of Serbs and Croats who didn't like that someone called them Russians, or people who talked to them in Russian and expected them to understand. Ukrainians don't want to be called Russians either.

    Territory of ex Yugoslavia has Slavic language but genetic is only 60% Slavic people. Perhaps even less. Here are descendants of Celts and Iliriyan tribes, descendants of people from Roman Empire, ... German groups, Italian groups, descants of people that came from Iran.

    As an American with no connections to the region, let me just say that I love the Balkans! Before traveling there I had heard all the stereotypes about the war, the racism, ethnic cleansing, etc. Instead I found friendly welcoming people, amazingly well preserved cities, fascinating history, and some of the most beautiful landscapes in all of Europe. God bless the people here, and may their future always be bright.

Yes, I can just see those millions of immigrants flooding to get into your socialist paradise. You are delusional, and I strongly suspect a lot of the Balkan people would disagree with you on the blessings of socialism.

Yes, we fought wars against others to defend our countries, hell we even fought with each other but let's not forget the good sides too. We have ancient history, ancient places, monasteries, language, unique culture, unique way of thinking. Instead of remembering the the dark past, let's turn to the bright future. May all the Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian soldiers and civilians rest in peace and may those horrors of war never happen again. Let's build the world together and show the world we are not some banana states which are always mistaken for Russia. United we stand, divided we fall. Greetings to all of you from a fellow Serb .

Do you really want to make me believe that in the war where everyone was killing everybody, out of 4 (or more) factions only 1 was the evil and the rest were innocent? No. I mentioned the relation between two factions, Serbs and Croats, because they are the most nutorious for their hate towards each other. Blood was shed from all sides, but to mark Serbs as the reason of all evil, is wrong. Have I done any harm to you? No. Have you done any harm to me? No. So why would you consider me the evil one? My point is that this circle of evil needs to stop. Nobody gains anything from the hatred that's coming from the people, despair and saddnes is all it brings. If we, as nations, who have almost the same cultures, have lived beside one another for 1000s of years, can't live in peace and build the future for our children together, if all we know is war and who was killed by whom, then we as nations do not deserve to exist at all. If that's the case, I hope these nations disappear and save future generations from war. This goes to all Balkan nations.

Propaganda and corruption has torn us apart. And there is barely any difference between the three dialects of ikavski, ijekavski and ekavski. Danish, Swedish, and Norwegiam differ way more than Serbo-Croatian/Bosnian, and the main difference is found between local dialects fx on the countryside and the "proper" languages spoken in the cities etc.. we dont need more help from the West. We need competent leaders and an end to our tribalism.

    Bulgaria does love Romania. Both nations are very good mates and the best neighbours from the very beginning when only Bulgaria has existed in 681. That's why Romanians use lots of Bulgarian words in their language and became the only Orthodox Christians from all the Latin nations! They have been ruled very civilized by Bulgarians without any violence, so for that reason Romanians do respect the Bulgarians a lot and gave them a big support against the Ottomans in tough moments in their Great History! Only once Romania has a knife in the back of Bulgaria, but sometimes the best friends make mistakes too. Now everything is forgotten for good! Long live Bulgaria and Romania...

    Indeed, Bulgaria had a great contribution to state and especially religious life at the north of the Danube. I don't think this is very much emphasized in our history classes. The Christian ideas came initially from Rome and the proof is that the main words we use are in Latin, but a bit later the Bulgarians offered a clear Orthodox structure to the religious life. Quite funny, even today when we receive alms at church, we have to say "Bogdaproste", though no Romanian knows what it means! :))) Also, until the middle of the 19th century, we used Cyrillic alphabet for writing our Latin words, imagine that! :) Finally, how can we avoid mentioning the Thracian-Dacian connection. After all, Thracia was located where is now Bulgaria and Dacians, our ancestors, were part of the Thracian family. And I also have to add the Second Bulgarian Empire, where the kings in Veliko Tarnovo ruled over both Bulgarians and Vlachs, as Romanians are called in the Middle Ages. Many connections between our countries. Ah yes, I almost forgot about the eternal fight against the Ottomans...:)

    @OreX You alright there? Bulgaria allied woth serbia and greece throughout the first balkan war as they thought they will need their help. However, we still managed to fight all our battles alone and with little to no support from you. You even made it worse because you took over Bulgarian ethnic territories in the west and committed many atrocities. Those lands were taken from us after we got independence, and were still ethnically Bulgarian.We attack you for that reason, starting the second Balkan war.It was a 3:1 against Bulgaria yet we were still winning, pushing the Ottomans back as well as the serbs and greeks. However, Austria forced Romania to enter the war, and all they had to do was just march to our Capital. All our troops were on the south and west and there was no one to stop them. There are records of a sofian regiment **running** all the way from the front line to sofia to try and stop the romanian force. They ran a few 100 kilometers over a day or two and then ran straight into battle. Being outnumbered more than 10 to 1 however they were defeated.This is just one of the insane acts of bravery commited by our soldiers.The war ended, with serbia, greece and turkey taking even more of our territory. We were outraged so we joined the Germans in WW1. Bulgaria still has the record, for raising the highest army within the shortest amount of time compared to its population. 50% of men enlisted into the army. We faught well against Romania, Serbia, and Greece, pushing them back, yet stopping at the lands that were Bulgarian, not taking any ethnic Serbs Greeks or Romanians. Pur Cavalry destroyed the Russian one at Dobruja and pushed them back hundreds of kilometers. Even tho we faughtt greatly with spirit, Germany lost the war, meaning that we did too. All the success was now restored and you all took EVEN MORE of Bulgarias lands. The whole of Dobruja as mentioned in the video as well.Keep in mind, it was a 3-1 against us. Romania didn't fight on two fronts, Greece didn't either. If we weren't a strong people, we would have lost way earlier. However because we are, and are great warriors, the big nations keep giving away our land. Because they are afraid.

    @Da Dude - give them some time, mate. I'm Polish myself. I know that when Poles speak about history with Germans, Russians or Ukrainians, it may be difficult. Even though so much time has passed since the second world war, not to mention other stuff from the 17th century for example. I can imagine it must have been much worse around fifty years ago let's say, when the wounds were fresh. In 40s the word "German" was written with a lower case letter often. In the first edition of the memories of Szpilman, Polish-Jewish pianist who survived the war, the Wehrmacht officer who saved him was named "a good Austrian" - because it was unthinkable to call a German "good". Now it seems shocking. And that's pretty much where they are, they've just had a war, a cruel one. My wife is Croatian. Her uncle married a lady from Serbia back in Yugoslavia. One of her friends (married with an American guy, by the way) is half Serbian. Another friend married a Serb three years ago, they have a little daughter now. I've never noticed any hostile reactions when this guy was around and spoke Serbian. Of course, there are freaks like Seselj in Serbia or some weirdos in Croatia, possibly many of them. When there are some anniversaries (Oluja, Vukovar) or some sport events (basketball or handball games, for instance) you can see that the Serbs aren't the most beloved people in Croatia. Yet, people get along somehow. I heard Croats speaking openly and objectively about dark sides of their history, even relatively close history. I heard some (like my wife) even speaking with compassion about the Serbs, about Kosovo and NATO bombing in 1999. Do you know Luka Modrić perhaps? His father fought the Serbs, his grandfather was executed by them as a civilian. Novak Djoković? He remembers NATO bombings very well. And when they met in America a few months ago, they took such picture: web.facebook.com/djokovic.official/posts/1808762852509891 All they need is some time.

    Great video. My family is Serbian but has lived in Croatia for hundreds of years. A large proportion of Serbs fled to and settled in modern-day Croatia following the Ottoman invasion of Europe and up until the more recent Civil war in in the former Yugoslavia in the early '90's, Croatia was home to a significant Serbian minority population (estimated at approx 11-12% prior to the Balkan civil war) . In addition to the Serbian minority, Croatia also had other ethnic minorities living on its territory including Czechs, Italians, Sovenes, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Hungarians, and the Romany, it's rare that the ethnic diversity of Croatia is ever mentioned, so thank you for acknowledging that in your video. I also found your point about the predominance of the I2 haplogroup in the Balkans really interesting and your added point that the haplogroup is also common among Romanians, which are frequently presumed to be of non-Slavic origins.

    Kinda related, but 1:40 about Croats and Serbs pretending to not be able to speak and understand each other is in my opinion very untrue - however, where this comes from probably is from Serbia/Croatia claiming Serbian and Crotian are separate languages when both can speak to understand each other with no issue. 7:00 - Croatia definitely dropped Cyrillic big time, however Cyrillic is not exclusively used in Bosnia, Montenegro, and Serbia - the Latin script is used as well, especially in Bosnia - probably seeing Cyrillic as a "Serbian" thing and trying to erase any "Serbian" things.

    croatian migrants in Chile are completely accepted and have been integrated into the main culture without any trouble (during the world cup everyone I know was cheering for Croatia) There were 2 main regions that had the strongest croatian presence, one in the north of the country around the cities of antofagasta and iquique, and another one in southern patagonia, in both regions their presence is still felt, especially in patagonia, but nowadays many live in other parts of the country also. From the other former yugoslav republics there are extremely few people, (except from slovenians which entered the country as austrian citizens after WW1) in my school there were many east-european jews, germans, swiss, croatians and slovenians and today many chilean families have a little bit of everything, from palestinian to irish, from french to sirian, from italian to basque, etc. although of course the majority of the population, like everywhere in latinamerica, descends from the mixture of the 3 main elements: amerindian, iberian, and african.

No. turks were more tolerant towards their neighbours than the greeks. history of people is always killing, migration, assimilation. Its how the world is.

    Greek , Albanians and Kosovo and even Bulgaria is direct decendants of proto balkanic people that enter Balkan 8 thousand years ago they carry Y-DNA haplo group E1b1b/E-V13. Around bronze age 3-2 thousand BC, humanity started to haved advance civilization, languages emerged and culture. The proto balkanic people in the South the Mycenaean, Minoan (Greeks) and the proto balkanic in the north Ilyrian (Albanians) the Proto balkanic people in north east Thracian (Bulgarian). While the minoan, Mycenaean civilization is the first in Balkan to have advanced civilization, they adopted and upgraded the Phoenicians alphabet from Phoenicians (ancient Lebanese) . The Mycenaean later call it as the Greek/Hellenic alphabet. Making Greeks the first civilized Proto balkanic people. How about the J2 haplo group to Balkan people? The J2 is haplo group of Western Asian sphere especially Armenian, and native Anatolians. You need to remember that the Greek Anatolians are only hellenized people means they only called Greek because they speak the Greek language because they are colony of the real Hellenic Greek people in the Balkan . The easiest example is like Moroccan and Tunisian calling Arabs just because they speak Arabic due to colonization of north Africa by the real Arabs of Saudi Arabia, Moroccan and north Africa have different DNA to ARABS. Just like the Greek Anatolian they haved DNA Haplo of J2 similar to Armenians and other ancient Anatolian people not the same DNA to the Balkan Greeks. In 13th century AD, Seljuk Turks started to colonized Anatolian making the Anatolian people migrate to the Balkan especially Greece, this is the reason why the genetic makeup of modern Balkan change dramatically.

    It should be noted that, according to Norman Davies, the Bulgarians and Serbs (as well as the Danes and Portuguese) are among the few nations in Europe which began developing national identities during the Middle Ages (identities, not nation-states, of course). In the cases of Bulgaria and Serbia - largely thanks to our independent national churches, with the vernacular language serving also as the liturgical (and administrative) one. Of course, it's much more complicated than that, as there were quite a bit of other factors at play as well, but that only comes to show that the "Balkanization" phenomenon is deeper than it seems at first glance.

    The rivalry with the medieval Greeks was, indeed (IMHO), one of the main factors. In order to develop an identity of your own, you have to distinguish between Us and Them. A long-term rivalry helps a lot with that and we have such a case at least with Bulgaria and Byzantium. But that alone is usually not good enough - England and France also had a relatively long-standing rivalry, but their national identities started developing later on. So it was a complicated mix of factors coming into play, which is, of course, not surprising for history.

    Balkanization is quite a deep phenomenon, it is a political strategy designed to continuously fracture and control and has been applied to the area from many sides for centuries. These agents of balkanization have their permanent operations installed in each country. The inhabitants of the peninsula are for the most part the same people (mostly Slavs), genetically, culturally, linguistically...

The best example of this is when the Ottoman turks took over and, do correct me on this if I am wrong, prevented Europians from having a RELATIVLY easy and inexpensive access to far east goods do to the islamic nation blocking the way, which subsequently lead to the age of exploration try and circumvent this islamic wall.

Every-Bloody-Time. It was like they didn't even try to listen or think. They even mixed us with Syria at one point! Because of the whole thing that's going on there i suppose. But i could understand that confusion to some extent. On the other hand, what i could not understand or connect, was .... how in Gods name did they manage to connect Croatia with Russia. It made even less sense! Most of my colleagues were Croatian and they all had to deal with the same Q&A bull that we had to. I cannot even explain that with laziness to look at the bloody google maps once in a while. Even less to try and connect it with common sense. It's like saying that people in Portugal speak Spanish.

Therefore, a lot of ancient northern Han Chinese fled to Southern China or even cross the sea to Japan. Most of Southern accents have deeper link with ancient Chinese language than Mandarin. As a Southern Han Chinese, I find it smoother to read Ancient Chinese poetry by my accounts than read read it by Mandarin.

    bapashkling same like Greece , only a little earlier , 1821 , from Arbanite to Greek , they needed decades to learn that new language that till recently was explained to have been forged for the elites only , now they say it’s indo european and real as it gets , same with the Macedonians , from Arbanas (Arbanite) to Macedonian , they like the Greeks still know their roots , apparently same with the other balkan nation , they all tell how they were Arbanas before they became these new nations , apparently they would be attacked and fought by europe russia america etc , if they declare and hold their identity openly , it would mean challenging the new world order (modern nationalities) , strangely enough the russians europeans americans , they too tell how they’re from this same kin / nation , for example the English tell in real history and in lets call it configured history how they are from the balkans (Trojans/Bryges/Phryges) and Arbans (Albion/Alban-Scotland) , the Germans tell something else , like how they were Aryans , Arianism before modern Christianity , the name is Ar , ARban ARyan , and you’re all traitors , except if you had some reason to do this , like for example ‘everything is in two’ the religious way , meaning you forged reality in order to have two , because of a high reason , than you still are traitors but for a higher reason which excuses the betrayal , if by Ar is understood the father of this nation race and you did it because of him , than according to that intention it’s not even betrayal because Arban means made by Ar , meaning recognizing the true identity through biology , if this is done because of him and it’s his nation than it cannot be betrayal , even though technically it is , but they never hid it even though they showed skill to be able doing so , they always told what’s real , meaning it can’t be betrayal , more like a game , for a while taking another language and name , and it’s valid , because in the 90s for example it was fulfilled, everyone was convinced in this , even the Albanians , full Shqiptar , it’s over , isn’t it .

    The origins of the (disappearing) Istriot language are disputed. There are some Old Dalmatian elements, but it's still quite different from what we know from that extinct language (the last speaker died on the nearby island of Krk in the late 19th century). A credible theory is that Istriot descended from a westernmost dialect of Dalmatian which was first heavily influenced by Rheto-Romanic dialects (spoken in north-western Istria until the late Middle Ages, in some towns up to the 19th century) and later by Venetian.

    Its actually not that complicated. Serbs and Croats are two closely related Slavic peoples who migrated together to Balkans, and also lived together, next to each other in original homelands. They speak same language, have same mentality etc. But in new land they got under influence and rule of different great powers. One under influence of Rome, Latin culture, Catholicism, Hungary, Austria etc., and other under influence of Greek culture, Byzantine empire, Orthodoxy. Later on turkish conquest came and orthodox ones were under turkish rule, adding new factor, slavs who took islam. They also speak same language and originate from Serbs and in lesser extent Croats, also same mentality etc, but are muslim now. With raise of European national state those started clashing in Balkans more in 19th and 20th century and inciting conflicts here using 'their' South Slavs. Germany, Vatican, Italy, Russia, England, they all did that in their fight for supremacy in Europe. These conflicts in Balcan were brutal and often with atrocities and led to a cycle of hate and revenge that was not originally there (still up to middle 19th century there has been no significant conflict or difference between Serbs and Croats, and they even cooperated in 1848 cryses and such). So it is foreign powers, including churches who put the division here, and cycle of revenge and raising local nationalism that fed it.

All these tribes are connected with language and origins.

    @Masaman, since you've asked what region/group is intertwined with Balkans - here's an idea for you - *SORBS*. At 2:50 in your video you are showing the migration map of the Slavs directly to Balkans. But it is not completely accurate since it is missing an arrow showing a large portion of tribes that migrated to today's Germany first (Lužice - Lužički Serbs) and founded many famous German cities. Their history is amazing and since you've done videos on Romani people, you might find a lot of similarities due to forceful assimilation and marginalization of Sorbs in Germany (still happening!). History of Sorbs and Serbs is closely connected and we consider each other "long-lost brothers" mainly because it is from that region (Lusatia) that a significant group of Serbs under the Unknown Archon migrated from Samo's state to Balkans where they have joined and mixed with other Slavic groups ("the Seven Slavic Tribes") that previously have migrated there along with Avars (shown accurately on the mentioned map of yours). It is very likely that from these Serbian tribes that came from Dervan's Serbia the first Serbian dynasties originated. Should you decide to investigate the history of these groups you will find that many Slavic tribes were living in east Germany, parts of Czechia and Poland, many of which carrying simply typical Slavic last names (common in Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia today) and that variants of Sorb/Serbian tribes and Croatian tribes (Khorvaty) where living next to each other. SERBS AND CROATS Now, fast-forward to modern history it is very sad to see their successors fighting and disliking each other. It was a history of peaceful co-living of over 2000 years that we should be focusing on. Especially if we take into account that Serbian tribes and Croatian tribes (and I am deliberately saying tribes and not Serbs and Croats) have come a long way together. One theory suggests that even though Slavic by culture the names "Serbs" and "Croats" are not Slavic but that they came from their upper class rulers from Sarmatia (there are records of Serboi/Servia and Khorvaty/Horoáthos) and that proto-Slavic groups (ancestors of Serbs and Croats) were heavily influenced by them thus picking up the names and partially culture and tradition. If true, then this would mean that Serbs and Croats have actually lived together for over 2 millennia, migrated together, fought together and had a pretty similar road to the Balkans (taking into account that same as a part of Serbs moved from Samo's state, a large portion of Croats migrated from the neighboring White Croatia). It wasn't until only ~100+ years we started hating each other due to the rise of the concept of nations. Christianity played a major role in the meantime, finally drawing the line between Catholics (Croats) and Orthodox (Serbs), even though in early middle ages both were changing their official religion many times (depending of the dynasty rulers). This piece of history is NEVER mentioned in Serbian nor Croatian history books for reasons unknown to me. Pan-Serbian and Pan-Croatian ultra right ideas flourish in both countries suggesting that either Croats are actually Serbs (catholic) and speak Serbian language (coming from Serbian ultra right pseudo-historians) while the opposite Serbs are actually Croatian (only orthodox) is thought by Croatian far rights... LANGUAGE We all speak the same language and understand each other perfectly. We also do understand Slovenians to some extent (while Slovenians understand Serbs and Croats much better). Serbs understand North Macedonians pretty well (and Macedonians understand Serbs and Croats almost completely). In fact, the dialect spoken in Macedonia, according to some scholars is an earlier version or descend from medieval Serbian due to the fact that it was ruled by Serbian monarchs. Aside from language a major dispute are actually the origin of the Cyrillic alphabet (Bulgarians, Greeks, North Macedonians), and language reform (Serbs and Croats). Other disputes are among the Orthodox population and nationalization of their churches - Serbian, Macedonian and Montenegrin. But that's a whole another story... KOSOVO As for Kosovo - you're right, we do not talk about it but we should - at least in a civilized manner. Much of the things I've said about peaceful co-living with the Croats throughout the history applies for Albanian-Serbian relations too. We were friends once. Albanian tribes have already been there once the Slavic tribes came in. Many far right nationalist like to use this to justify the Kosovo issue saying that it originally belonged to Albania. And in a way it did - but only as a region where Ilyrian tribes lived. Leveraged by a theory that all Albanians are decedents from the Iliryan (even though there were far too many tribes) they believe that Kosovo and Metohija are rightfully theirs. It is important to mention that once the Slavic tribes moved into Balkans another massive ethnogenesis happened (prior one being among western Slavs, Samaritian and Germanic tribes) where all these different peoples including Illyrian decends, but also Latin, Tracian etc, mixed together... Serbian medival states grew to be strong and Kosovo played a major role there. Prior to mass conversion to Islam, rulers of Albanian tribes were friends with Serbian monarchs and their families are closely connected (relatives). It is almost impossible to distinguish ethnicity of serbo-albanian-montenegrian mixed tribes and people (rulers among them) who all lived under "tribal" culture during the middle ages but were mostly ruled by Serbian monarchs therefore influenced heavily by the Slavic culture. HAPLOGROUP My paternal lineage is E-V13 and my grandfathers are from Metohija (Kosovo), and this is one of the most dominant (if not the most dominant haplogroup in Albania and Kosovo). But it is also a 3rd most dominant in Serbia and comes from non-Slavic people who lived in Balkans prior to Slavs (dating back to DNA in remains of the Danube and Vinca culture). What does that mean - absolutely nothing. Finally, for you another interesting topic could be *Asia Minor Slavs* which are the Serbs that rose up against the Byzantines in 12th century and ended up being deported to Asia Minor where they founded new Serbian communities and cities. P.S. I LOVE your work and your channel! Keep up the excellent work! Thank you.

    Nice effort and story but here is one serious mistake. Masaman wrongly concludes that the predominant occurence of haplogroup I in Romania and the Balkans "proves" that Romanians are closer to Slavs. In fact, the predominant haplotype in Slavic populations is R1a. Therefore, the predominance of haplogroup I in the populations named "Southern Slavs" simply shows they are NOT as slavic as people think, even though they speak slavic languages. I mean, seriously man ... this was a little superficial homework (or just the fact that Balkans gives headacks to everyone :) ...). Also you should not overlook the fact that haplotype I is also the predominant haplotype in Scandinavia - which shows that Scandinavians (minus Fins) and people from the so called Balkan region (plus Romanians) share a common ancestry, a pre-indoeuropean one for that matter. PS. It is risky for people without training in natural sciences to venture (alone) on the territory of genetic origins. Just saying ...

As a Montenegrin i feel at home whenever i am in Split, Belgrade or Sarajevo, and i understand every word no matter where i am. Many of us feel the same. Maybe just because i am from Montenegro where we had strong independents from Ottomans i never felt i don't know what means to be free as nation and always wanted great south Slav country. I won't go into history as it's extremely complicated and fabricated by every nation, but i think as many of us, Yugoslavia or whatever the name should be will be formed in future, and it's the only way for us to feel strong and free again.
