The Migration Period
The Migration Period, also called Barbarian Invasions or Völkerwanderung, is a name given by historians to a
human migration which happened in the period of roughly AD 300–700 in Europe. That was the period at the
end of Ancient history and the beginning of the Middle Ages.
The migration included the Goths, Vandals, and Franks, among other Germanic, Bulgar and Slavic tribes. The
migration may have been influenced by attacs of the Huns with thier famous king Attila in the east and
connected to the Turkic migration in Central Asia, population pressures, or climate changes. The migration
period also included groups of Angles, Saxons, Frisians and some Jutes to Britain.
In 476AD was known as the Western Roman Empire came to an end after a century of successive barbarian
invasions finally succeeded in bringing Rome to its knees.
