Ethnic groups in Europe

In the latter half of the ninth century AD, a tribal confederation from the Asian steppes began a migration into eastern and central Europe. Initially staying on the fringes of Christendom, these peoples soon came head-to-head with the established power of central Europe, the kingdom of the Eastern Franks. In the opening years of the conflict, the Magyars, as they were known (later known as the Hungarians) created a crisis which threatened the survival of the Eastern Frankish kingdom. The magnitude of the Magyar threat the kingdom and Europe as a whole has largely been neglected by modern scholarship. The struggle between the Eastern Franks and the Hungarians can be compared to the Moorish invasion of Iberia in terms of what was at stake; the dismantlement of European civilization.…

This means their genetic diversity is greater than any other race. Furthermore, Africa is a huge continent. So you would expect a lot of genetic diversity when you have deserts and forest. Do we call Italian and Irish being the same race? Aren 't they both from Europe? But with Africans, we don 't refer them from the continent they come from. We lump them all together. This genetic diversity explains why we see them on such extremes. For example, most crime is committed in…

immodestly. The natives walked around naked for the most part with the exception of some who wore a leaf to cover themselves. Europeans wore agricultural products such as wool and cotton and such. The Natives had little to no importance to the Europeans. The colonial period would be more defined as contact among many groups. Every time there was contact between different groups of people there was some sort of issue. Lots of things such as war, disease, slavery, and invasion took place and this…

the killing of the Armenian people and even are so extreme in their thinking to the point of believing that the Armenians committed transgressions against the Turkish people and killed them, a complete reversal of the events. Turks who think that their people are slightly more justified say that there was fighting between the two and it was not a genocide because casualties were on both sides. This article however will prove there was a genocide against the Armenian people committed by Turkey…

Q8. In my opinion, after the Japanese had won the Russo-Japanese War, the stereotypes towards the Japanese were drastically changed. Going into the Russo-Japanese War, everyone already had in their mind what they thought was going to happen. However, they would all be proven very wrong. You could have asked anyone and they would have said that the Russian would win for sure. None of the European nations thought for one second that the Japanese would win against Russia. In the European people's…

to the historical consequences over time. These constraints would include a shared history between the Germanic peoples, common blood, shared common beliefs, even shared traditions. This could fit any individual hailing from Austria to northern Norway. Individuals of all “races” have been created over a long period in history by being essentially grouped, more or less, based on events, ideas, and commonalities that have taken place or arisen from historical consequence. This idea of grouping by…

1. Carlos Fuentes described the civilization discovered by the European in a way that seems, that the native’s people progression has halted and they needed help from others who are more advance (European). Fuentes mentioned the Eurocentric view of why the native people were not advancing. He said “they [Indians] were blessed by nature, but dwarfed by it,” most scholars believe that the Indians were “lazy,” thus making their civilization backwards compared to the rest of the world. However, that…
