>>212273644Long story short, basically the word "Slav" came from the latin "Sclavus" which literally means slave. Asians (mongols, turkic tribes) used to take them as sex slaves, Ottomans did that as well. Germanics used to make a lot of raids against them and took their women as "plunder", Celts too. The guy who "woke" the slavs up was a French merchant called "Samo", who basically made them revolt against the Avars who (guess what?) took their women as sex slaves every year. I'm not even joking, search it up.
