Until 5th century AD, the Slavs inhabited an isolated area of today’s South-Eastern Poland, Western Belarus, and Western Ukraine. The Slavs have never been approached and devastated by Romans. The Slavs had a primitive society. They didn’t know how to build houses and still all Slavic languages don’t have Slavic word for “house”. The Slavic word “dom” means “the place I live in”. Modern Bulgarian and its Macedonian dialect use the Proto-Bulgarian word “K’shta” - “house”. The Slavs considered the horse as an exotic animal. They had no economy. Their knowledge on metallurgy and agriculture were very basic.
Because the Slavs practiced polygamy and they were away from any wars, at the end of 4th century the Slavic population increases and resulted in demographic boom. The Slavs spread over large part of Europe and easily settled on weakly contested territories. In long term, the Slavic settlement on the Balkans wasn’t a big concern for the Byzantium Empire. The Romans knew how to assimilate (see what happened to Dakians, Iberians, and Celts etc). The appearance of Proto-Bulgarians with their mighty army and long experience in how-to-build-a-state actually saved Balkan Slavs from Byzantium assimilation. A large part of the Balkan Slavs together with Romanized Thracians were easily incorporated into Bulgarian State and they became Bulgarians. The existing at that time common Slavic language was promoted by the Proto-Bulgarian ruling elite to become the base for Church Slavonic language (The official language of Danube Bulgaria).
The History has proved that the Slavs had difficulty in establishment of their own states. The best example is Russia. In 822 the Slavic chiefs from region of Novgorod invited the Germanic tribe Russ and their chief Rurik to come and rule them. This way Russland was founded. It didn’t take too long for the Swedish Russ to make Russia a powerful state. Rurik dynasty ruled Russia for 700 years.
