The Bulgarian Empire during her zenith was able to mobilize more than 80,000 infantry and heavy cavalry. What was the Serbian Empire capable of mobilizing? Their greatest mobilization was a mere 20,000 against the invading Ottomans. We killed more than 20,000 Arabs during their siege of Constantinople in 717. I think it's fair to say the Serbian Empire was never mighty nor was the part-Bulgar Dusan mighty if they were capable of only mobilizing 20,000 troops at their zenith. The Holy Roman Empire, for comparison, mobilized more than 250,000 troops to support the Crusades. Tsar Dushan the part-Bulgarian was only at an advantage when the Bulgarian Empire weakened they became capable of taking ethnic Bulgarian territories

That's pure comic. Bulgaria mobilized more than a million men in WW1. Serbia only had an army of 230,000. In WW2 we mobilized more than 450,000 men whereas Yugoslavia at the same time only had 300,000 capable soldiers with military equipment from the Balkan wars. Our equipment during WW2 was modern and up to date. During the Cold War Yugoslavia arguably had more soldiers but they weren't as well equipped. For example Communist Yugoslavia had only 500 modern battle tanks whereas Bulgaria had 3,000 tanks. If we had went to war with Yugoslavia we would have won purely with troop quality and equipment superiority. Additionally we had a nuclear power plant meaning we could have built nuclear bombs to level Yugoslavia overnight. What did Yugoslavia have? A peashooter in Slovenia built in 1981.

Neither comes to my mind when I think of the word, 'empire', to be honest. They seem pretty much limited to a single realm (the Balkans).

The Turks obviously.

How ignorant. Our empire literally stretched from the south of Greece to the northern borders of modern-day Russia.

Yugoslavia wasn't an empire. And despite Croatian nationalist belief Yugoslavia was not a Serbian country.

No, but about your avatar. Is it not time to remove the Tatar girl? I'm asking since you are so anti-Turkic.
