Years: 1190 - 1190

The Battle of Tryavna occurs in 1190, in the mountains around the contemporary town of Tryavna, central Bulgaria.

“History is important. If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”

—Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral ... (2004)
