Serb Migrations Map
In order to better keep track of the migration of Serbs throughout history, I decided to create an interactive map documenting the migration history of Serbs throughout the Balkans. I had a lot of help from Pribislav in providing history for many of the regions here.
In the map, I tried to portray it from the point of view from each specific region. If you click on the region you are interested in, and then it shows you the migrations that occurred in that region. The (I) stands for "Incoming" whereas (O) stands for "Outgoing". Incoming migrations are migrations that came from other areas to the selected place while outgoing migrations are migrations referring to migrations from that place to another.
The map is based on significant migrations only. I added a few smaller migrations when it had little information, but they were still generally somewhat significant. I don't want to add every tiny individual migration as it would take up too much space and cause confusion. In the future, I may make other maps regarding individual regions (e.g. Dalmatia, Bosnia, etc) and other countries/ethnicities if there is enough information available. I chose to do the map based off Serbs due to lots of information available regarding them.
Even though I worked on the map for a long time, I realize its not perfect and I'm open to making any changes in the future (such as adding extra information I missed). But I won't make any immediate edits.
Serbia seemed to be the only country in Google Maps that didn't have its subdivisions outlined for some weird reason, so the borders for "Central Serbia", "Southern Serbia", etc. look kind of weird as I did some guesswork with those. I also arranged the events from all the migrations I have listed in chronological order in case you wanted to look at the migrations by time period rather than region.
For each of the regions, an image of a Serbian Orthodox Church is shown. Since I couldn't find any for Bulgaria or Wallachia, they have no image for the time being.
I decided what regions to use before I made the map, so they may not be the best. For example, I divided Vojvodina before I did most of the writing and then thought it was too much work to unite it again. It probably would've been less confusing if I had left Vojvodina as one entity. There are probably other examples like this. I may edit that one day when I'm bored.
