Tell me about the Great Migration of Germanic Peoples

The Germanic peoples originated in Northern Europe and belonged to the northern branch of the Caucasian race

In ancient Roman times, the Germanic peoples maintained a primitive tribal life, mostly living in what is now Skandinavian and Jutland.

In the middle and late Roman Empire, some of the Germanic tribes known to the Romans as barbarians began to move south, and began to confront the Romans across the Rhine and Danube.

And the fundamental reason for the great migration of the Germanic peoples was the invasion of the Huns from the east!

Eventually, in the 5th century AD, the Germanic people were forced to migrate to the territory of the Roman Empire under the invasion and spurring of the Huns. (The result is a ripple effect).

At this time, the Roman Empire had fallen from the peak of the development of a slave society, and slave and peasant revolts continued to occur everywhere, which made the dying Roman Empire even more shaky. It was during this critical period that the Germanic peoples swept across the western half of the Roman Empire and established many independent kingdoms.

From then on, the Germanic peoples began to dominate the whole of Western and Northern Europe.

The Germanic peoples we know are: Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Goths, Vandals, Burgundians, Franks, Teutons, Anglos, Saxons, and so on

The Germanic peoples are represented by Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (England), the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, etc., and the Germanic peoples in these countries account for the vast majority. The Germanic peoples are divided into North Germanic peoples, West Germanic peoples, and East Germanic peoples.

The North Germanic people are the Germanic people of Scandinavia. They later evolved into Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, and Icelanders. Archaeologists divide the North Germanic peoples into two groups, east and west.

The West Germanic peoples included Elbe Germanic peoples such as the Svibi, who later evolved into the Schwabians, the Macomani, and eventually the Bavarians. North Sea Germanic peoples such as Batawi, Frisian, Couken, Saxon, Angli, Jutt, etc., later formed the Anglo-Saxon English.

Rhine-Weser Germanic peoples such as the Cherusians, the Kadians, the Franks, etc. Among the East Germanic people were the Goths, Vandals and Burgundians of the Baltic Sea. Archaeologists subdivide them into four groups.

Due to the influx of the Huns from Asia and the influx of Slavs from Eastern Europe, these people were under great pressure and were forced to migrate west and south, which caused them a lot of conflict with the natives. Extended OriginThe Germanic peoples are said to have been a mixture of the iron-wielding Norsemen and the bronze-wielding, Indo-European inhabitants of the southern shores of the Baltic Sea, who lived in the southern part of present-day Sweden, the Danish Peninsula, and northern Germany between the Em, Oder, and Haetesian mountains during the Late Bronze Age. The earliest use of the term "Germanic" was the Greek historian Posidonius.

He first used the term around 80 B.C. Perhaps he heard the term in contact with a small peoples of Central Europe that cannot be verified today and used it to refer to all the Germanic peoples, and it is possible that the name of such a small people later became the name of an entire group of peoples. In 51 BC Caesar used the name Germanic in his Gallic Wars.

Here Caesar referred to all the peoples east of the Rhine as the Germanic peoples. Prior to this, the Romans referred to the peoples of western Europe as the Celts, while the peoples of eastern Europe were called the Scythians. It was only then that the Romans realized that the Germanic peoples were not Celts, but a separate ethnic group.

Originated in Bangkok, Thailand. Now the Yuer people in Thailand are Germanic, and the Dajo people in Japan are also Germanic. In addition, most of the ethnic minorities in Korea are Germanic.

The Germanic peoples originated from a mixture of bronze-speaking, Indo-European speakers of the southern shores of the Baltic Sea, with Caesar referring to the Celtic opponents and other mixed populations from the eastern Rhine in the Gallic campaign as the Germanic peoples, and the peoples of eastern Europe as the Secyians. It was only at this time that the Romans realized that the Germanic peoples were not Celts, but a separate ethnic group. The representative countries of the Germanic peoples are, Germany.

Austria. Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, etc. All of these countries have Germanic peoples.

The Germanic nations are represented by Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, etc. The Germanic peoples of these countries make up the majority of the population.

Originating in Scandinavis, it is now Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom (England), Austria and other countries, where the Germanic population is the majority.

Today, the majority of Western Europe, Northern Europe (except Finland), and the Five Eyes Alliance (the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) are almost all descendants of Germanic people or mixed-race descendants.

To add ha:

A small number of Hui and Han Chinese in the north also have Germanic ancestry.

The Germanic people were a branch of Homo sapiens, and due to the differences in the environment and climate and the gravitational pull of the earth, the skin color, nose and average height were different from other populations, like the Biblical Goths were driven to the edge because they were not welcomed, they were not superior to others at all, they were all equal in nature!
