was of German decent (due to anti-German sentiment during both World Wars, last names were changed, street names were changed, and even limited the use of German language). Then when I found out, wrongfully, that German are the largest ethnicity group in America, my view of the world kind of flipped upside down. I couldn 't help but research the topic. I also figured out how other races fit in the puzzle. Like what I call Team B being so emotional and all. Maybe I 'm wrong with all of this,…

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.
