Examples of Migration Period in the following topics:
-
- Different theories explain the Vedic Period, a time of Indo-Aryan
people on the Indian subcontinent migrating to the Ganges Plain around 1200 BCE.
- Other origin hypotheses include
an Indo-Aryan Migration in the period 1800–1500 BCE (Before Common Era) and a fusion
of the nomadic people known as Kurgans.
- Most history of this period is derived
from the Vedas, the oldest scriptures in Hinduism, which help chart the
timeline of an era known as the Vedic Period from 1750–500 BCE.
- The Indo-Aryans settled various parts of the plain during their migration and the Vedic Period.

- The Fall of the Western Roman Empire was the period of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which it disintegrated and split into numerous successor states.
- The Roman Empire lost the strengths that had allowed it to exercise effective control; modern historians mention factors including the effectiveness and numbers of the army, the health and numbers of the Roman population, the strength of the economy, the competence of the Emperor, the religious changes of the period, and the efficiency of the civil administration.
- Throughout the 5th century, the Empire's territories in western Europe and northwestern Africa, including Italy, fell to various invading or indigenous peoples in what is sometimes called the Migration Period, also known as the Barbarian Invasions from the Roman and South European perspective.
- The first migrations of peoples were made by Germanic tribes such as the Goths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons, Lombards, Suebi, Frisii, Jutes and Franks; they were later pushed westwards by the Huns, Avars, Slavs, and Bulgars.
- Rather, it was due to the combined effect of a number of adverse processes, many of them set in motion by the Migration Period, that together applied too much stress to the Empire's basically sound structure.
-
- As their population grew, the Germanic people migrated westwards into coastal floodplains due to the exhaustion of the soil in their original settlements.
- Some recognizable trends in the archaeological records exist, as it is known that, generally speaking, western Germanic people, while still migratory, were more geographically settled, whereas the eastern Germanics remained transitory for a longer period.
- Three settlement patterns and solutions come to the fore; the first being the establishment of an agricultural base in a region that allowed them to support larger populations; the second being that the Germanic peoples periodically cleared forests to extend the range of their pasturage; and the third (and the most frequent occurrence) being that they often emigrated to other areas as they exhausted the immediately available resources.
- War and conquest followed as the Germanic people migrated, bringing them into direct conflict with the Celts who were forced to either Germanize or migrate elsewhere as a result.
- During the 5th century, as the Western Roman Empire lost military strength and political cohesion, numerous nomadic Germanic peoples, under pressure from population growth and invading Asian groups, began migrating en masse in various directions, taking them to Great Britain and far south through present-day Continental Europe to the Mediterranean and Northern Africa.
-
- The Greek Dark Ages were ushered in by a period of violence and characterized by the disruption of Greek cultural progress.
- Historians
believe this period was violent, sudden, and culturally disruptive.
- The palace
economy of the Aegean Region that had characterized the Late Bronze Age was
replaced, after a hiatus, by the isolated village cultures of the Greek Dark
Ages, a period that lasted for more than 400 years.
- Iron tools and weapons also became better in
quality, and communities began to develop that were governed by elite groups of
aristocrats as opposed to singular kings or chieftains of earlier periods.
- Migrations, invasions, and destruction during the end of the Bronze Age (c. 1200 BCE).
-
- Thus, in many ways the Byzantine Empire had insulated Europe and given it the time it needed to recover from its chaotic medieval period.
- Following the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 CE, the Ottomans regarded themselves as the "heirs" of Byzantium and preserved important aspects of its tradition, which in turn facilitated an "Orthodox revival" during the post-communist period of the Eastern European states.
- Byzantine painting from this period would have a strong influence on the later painters of the Italian Renaissance.
- The migration waves of Byzantine scholars and émigrés in the period following the sacking of Constantinople and the fall of Constantinople in 1453 is considered by many scholars key to the revival of Greek and Roman studies that led to the development of the Renaissance humanism and science.
-
- Today's Namibia did not witness the emergence of ancient or medieval kingdoms and empires that would largely dominate its territory but evidence suggests that a number of diverse peoples settled there as a result of ancient, medieval, and modern migrations.
- Not much is known about pre-colonial Namibia but evidence suggests that a number of diverse peoples settled there as a result of ancient, medieval, and modern migrations.
- They migrated south from the upper regions of Zambezi in the period around the 14th century.
-
- It is equivalent to the Neolithic period, and is divided into cultural periods, named after locations where Egyptian settlements were found.
- This period began around 30,000 BCE.
- The Harifian culture migrated out of the Fayyum and the Eastern deserts of Egypt to merge with the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B; this created the Circum-Arabian Nomadic Pastoral Complex, who invented nomadic pastoralism, and may have spread Proto-Semitic language throughout Mesopotamia.
- Mud-brick buildings were first seen in this period in small numbers.
- Hieroglyphs may have first been used in this period, along with irrigation.
-
- The city-states of Italy expanded greatly during this period and grew in power to become de facto fully independent of the Holy Roman Empire; apart from the Kingdom of Naples, outside powers kept their armies out of Italy.
- During this period, the modern commercial infrastructure developed, with double-entry book-keeping, joint stock companies, an international banking system, a systematized foreign exchange market, insurance, and government debt.
- A rise in population―the population doubled in this period (the demographic explosion)
- Substantial migration from country to city (in Italy the rate of urbanization reached 20%, making it the most urbanized society in the world at that time)
- Additionally, Byzantine scholars migrated to Italy during and following the Ottoman conquest of the Byzantines between the 12th and 15th centuries, and were important in sparking the new linguistic studies of the Renaissance, in newly created academies in Florence and Venice.
-
- They comprised people from Germanic tribes who migrated to the island from continental Europe, their descendants, and indigenous British groups who adopted some aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language.
- The Anglo-Saxon period denotes the period of British history between about 450 and 1066, after their initial settlement and up until the Norman Conquest.
- During this period, Christianity was re-established and there was a flowering of literature and language.
- The early Anglo-Saxon period covers the history of medieval Britain that starts from the end of Roman rule.
- Michael Drout calls this period the "Golden Age", when learning flourishes with a renaissance in classical knowledge.
-
- The Renaissance is a period in Europe, from the 14th to the 17th century, regarded as the cultural bridge between the Middle Ages and modern history.
- It started as a cultural movement in Italy, specifically in Florence, in the Late Medieval period and later spread to the rest of Europe, marking the beginning of the Early Modern Age.
- Various theories have been proposed to account for the origins and characteristics of the Renaissance, focusing on a variety of factors including the social and civic peculiarities of Florence at the time; its political structure; the patronage of its dominant family, the Medici; and the migration of Greek scholars and texts to Italy following the Fall of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.
- The Renaissance has a long and complex historiography, and in line with general skepticism of discrete periodizations, there has been much debate among historians reacting to the 19th-century glorification of the "Renaissance" and individual culture heroes as "Renaissance men," questioning the usefulness of Renaissance as a term and as a historical delineation.
- Some observers have called into question whether the Renaissance was a cultural "advance" from the Middle Ages, instead seeing it as a period of pessimism and nostalgia for classical antiquity, while social and economic historians, especially of the longue durée (long-term), have instead focused on the continuity between the two eras, which are linked, as Panofsky observed, "by a thousand ties."
