The Fall of the Southern Kingdoms

During the late 14th cent. a tragedy bagan when the ottoman outnumberous armies were invading European soil. They eventually occoupied Serbian, Byzintine, Bulgarian, Bosnian, Albanian lands, and even southern Hungry. The balkan people were put to extreme misery for hundreds of years to come. The ottoman forces were taking children and had them later come in and wipe out their own villages; a lot of people who did not submit to Islam were killed in the most brutal way such as impaling; soldiers would even charge tax for getting their teeth dirty after a forced meal from a poor family. What is now Romania was occupied later as well.

The ottoman empire was also responcibe for the small populations of today's Balkan nations, taking those nations out of: the Renaissance, European impirical age, and industrial revolution.
