The Slavs, barring the Pannonian Wends, were never under Avar overrule (all Roman primary sources confirm this and even Fredegar's Chronicle, who distinguishes the independent Sclavenes from the Avar-ruled Wends, and further confirmed by archaeology which proved that the Avar Khaganate never extended outside the Pannonian Basin), and instigated their expansion over Europe and the Roman Empire 40 years before the Avars, who were originally Roman Foederati against the Slavs (before their betrayal in the 570s). The Sclavenes and the Antes conquered Romania, Moldova, and the near-entirety of Southeastern Europe. The Romans lost against them, and the Avars lost against them (the First Avar Khaganate was primarily defeated by the invading White Serbs and Croats, who then exterminated the Avars in the Lower Danube and Dalmatia). The Slavs were never under Hunnic rule. They took full advantage of the fall of the Hunnic Empire to rapidly and aggressively expand over a massive territory in Europe between the 450s and the 490s, establishing a permanent border with the ERE by the beginning of the 500s (the vast majority of the Early Slavs colonized and congregated on the Lower Danube, primarily modern-day Romania and Moldova).
