Byzantine–Bulgarian war of 913–927
The Byzantine–Bulgarian war of 913–927 ((ブルガリア語:Българо–византийска война от 913–927)) was fought between the Bulgarian Empire and the Byzantine Empire for more than a decade. Although the war was provoked by the decision of the Byzantine emperor Alexander to discontinue the annual tribute paid to Bulgaria, the military and ideological initiative was held by Simeon I of Bulgaria who demanded to be recognized as Tsar, a title equal to that of the Byzantine emperor, and aimed to conquer Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire.
In 917 the Bulgarian army dealt a crushing defeat on the Byzantines in the battle of Achelous resulting in total Bulgarian military supremacy in the Balkan Peninsula. The Byzantines were defeated again at Katasyrtai in 917 and at Pegae in 922. The Bulgarians captured the important city of Adrianople in Thrace and seized the capital of the theme of Hellas, Thebes deep into southern Greece. After the disaster at Achelous the Byzantine diplomacy incited the Principality of Serbia to attack Bulgaria in the rear to the west but the Serb threat was easily contained. However, in 924 the Serbs managed to ambush and defeat a small army provoking a major retaliatory campaign that ended with the annexation of Serbia in the end of the same year.
Simeon I was aware that he needed naval support to conquer Constantinople and in 922 sent envoys to the Fatimid caliph Ubayd Allah al-Mahdi Billah in Mahdia to negotiate the assistance of the powerful Arab navy. The caliph agreed to sent his own representatives back to Bulgaria to arrange an alliance. However, the envoys were captured en route by the Byzantines near the Calabrian coast. Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos managed to avert a Bulgarian–Arab alliance with generous gifts. By the date of his death, 27 May 927, Simeon I controlled almost all Byzantine possessions in the Balkans but was unable to seize Constantinople.
In 927 both countries were exhausted by the huge military efforts that took heavy toll on the population and economy. Simeon I's successor Peter I negotiated a favourable peace treaty. The Byzantines agreed to recognize him as Emperor of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian Orthodox Church as an independent Patriarchate, as well as to pay an annual tribute. The peace was reinforced with a marriage between Peter I and Romanos I's granddaughter Irene Lekapene. This agreement ushered a period of 40 years of peaceful relations between the two powers, a time of stability and prosperity for both Bulgaria and the Byzantine Empire.
