Abstract :The battle of Nedao is an extremely key battle to construct Eastern European Turkish history. It is one of the events that reshaped the ethnic structure of Europe. As a result of this war, many tribes relocated and new formations (disintegrations and coalitions) took place among the tribes. In terms of Turkish history, according to some sources, it is seen either as an event that brought the collapse of the European Huns or as an event that enabled the Huns to re-emerge strongly with the Bulgars, which strengthened the Turkish presence in Europe. As well as examining these views in our article, we will try to find solution to the problem of exact location where the Nedao River is.
