Years: 964 - 975
A series of conflicts between the Bulgarian Empire and the East Roman, or Byzantine, Empire from around 970 until 1018 will lead to the gradual conquest of Bulgaria by Constantinople’s forces, which will thus reestablish Greek control over the entire Balkan peninsula for the first time since the seventh-century Slavic invasions.
The struggle begins with the incorporation of eastern Bulgaria after the Rus'–Byzantine War of 970–971.
