Ese mismo día 6 de #septiembre, el capitán informó a Carlos I de su llegada, y de lo ocurrido en la Expedición #Magallanes-Elcano, de la que formaba parte. Fue mediante una epístola o "aviso," #documento cuyo original hoy no se tiene constancia, solo de #copias.

During the 19th ct. in the town of Bol lived a large Vuković family of 6 brothers.
3 of them were priests and the other 3 were successful naval captains.
The brothers owned a fairly large sailing ship which successfully traded the Mediterranean and earned them a great wealth.⬇️

They lent a lot of their money to citizens of Bol; among them there was a guy names Marko with nickname Sila (Force) cause of his fierced nature.
Marko owned a considerable piece of land and as he could not repay his debts, he sold it to the Vukovićs piece by piece. ⬇️

Achtung aufgepasst, Geschichtsstunde: #Kroatien ist kein ganzes Land, sondern ein geteiltes... es gibt an der Küste rund um #Neum einen ca. 5km breiten Landstreifen, der als Küstenzugang für #BosnienHerzegowina dient. #Dubrovnik liegt in einer Enklave! /MS de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neum-Korr…
Der Hintergrund: 1699 wurde der Landstrich im "Frieden von Karlowitz" Teil des Osmanischen Reichs, als Puffer gegen die Großmacht #Venedig.
Über verschiedene Irrungen und Wirrungen wurde die Gegend dann #Herzegowina, #Jugoslawien und am Ende #BosnienHerzegowina zugeschlagen. /MS

Um also nicht dauernd den Transit über Bosnien zu legen, begann man 2005, die "Pelješac-Brücke" zu planen und ab 2007 zu bauen. 2010 kam es wegen Geldproblemen zum Baustopp, 2012 wurden die Verträge gekündigt und die Brückenpfeiler waren fürs Erste eine Investitionsruine. /MS

In this "sequel" we will see how Dalmatia, from the scattered cities and islands, has become what we consider Dalmatia today.
I will also explain where the historical pretensions of the Italians to Dalmatia came from.
Let's go in order.

Everything we do and don't know about Dalmatia in the period of 2 centuries after the arrival of the Slavs, ie the end of organized Roman rule and written news about the events in it can be underlined and summarized by the provisions of the Peace treaty in Aachen, signed in 812.
On April 12, 1304 we have recorded presence of Mathew (emissary of Serbian king Stephen Uroš II Milutin) in #Dubrovnik passing by on a meeting with ban of #Croatia and #Bosnia and master of #Hum Paul I of family #Šubić for the interests of his realm ("na rabotu kraljevstva mi").
Earlier that same month king Milutin wrote to Dubrovnik asking them to prepare a vessel for his emissary and to transport him to the city of #Skradin, where the seat of ban Paul was.

So, we know for a fact that there was a meeting between Croatian ban Paul and emissary of Serbian king Milutin at that time.
Unfortunately, sources don't discover us their true reason and subject.

Around 3000 BCE in eastern #Europe, a Proto-Balto-Slavic #language started to diverge from #ProtoIndoEuropean.
The #Slavic branch of the #IndoEuropean #languages began about 2,000 years later when Proto-Slavic deviated from Proto-Balto-Slavic.

As the #Slavic-speaking area expanded during the first millennium CE (striped area on map), Proto-Slavic transitioned to Common Slavic. The #language underwent minor changes that occurred mostly uniformly across eastern #Europe, thereby maintaining mutual intelligibility.
Around the year 1000 CE #CommonSlavic began to split into the South, West, and East branches to which all modern #Slavic #languages belong.
Roughly 315m people speak a Slavic #language, mostly in Eastern #Europe (including the #Balkan peninsula), #CentralAsia, and #Siberia.
