The First Bulgarian Empire

The First Bulgarian Empire came to an end when it connected to the Byzantine Empire after being in operation during the 7th and 11th centuries. The merger took place in 1185 AD and was led by Khan Asparukh. His leadership led the Bulgars from Central Asia as they were a pagan tribe.
While they were being exiled, they conquered and captured the Province of Moesia, but when the Christian religion grew in Europe, it became too much for them to handle.
