The Bulgar War was a conflict beginning in 884 that lasted until 892 between the Byzantine Empire and the Bulgarian Empire. Initiated by Radoslav of Bulgaria, the war was an attempt to take advantage of the Byzantine Empire due to its lack of a suitable heir. The Bulgarian Empire, heavily weakened by the Unification Wars earlier that century, desired to take much of its territory back. Unexpectedly, the Byzantine Empire responded with heavy, competent force. Aided by the Franks, the Eastern Roman Empire fought back the Bulgarian Invaders and, after a war that lasted eight years, forced the surrender and capitulation of the First Bulgarian Empire.
