  14. ​​ @FOLIPE  um. Slavic migration was in 5-6th century into the regions of far eastern Europe (Russia) and southern Europe (Balkans). Slavic "homeland" is in Eastern Poland and Western Ukraine.... As far as 1500BC... So yeah. Slavs did not really migrate. I'll also add context of history. The Slavic migration begun once Rome fell and Germanic tribes moved out of East Germania, and after the Huns mixed power up in Europe. There after, from the 5th century onwards you have the emergence of Slavic states. There all begun as Rod (Clan) confederacies. Most notably Unification of Poland under the Polanian Slavic tribe. With majority of unifications happening from 8-10th century when Germanic tribes stabilised in the West and begun reconquering the east Germania (which they left, they didn't not get conquered). Germanic expansion Eastward, Magyars incoming from the east and Byzantium turning into Theocracy where Christians could not be enslaved (but pagans could) triggered a wave of unification among Slavs. That why Kievan Rus emerged, Great Moravia, Poland... It's also why Slavic Monarchies traditionally do not/did not have Divine Right. Monarchies of Slavs traced their heritage to Farmers and Plovers. The Bohemian kinds even had peasant shoes during coronations. But hey... The Germanics still went eastward and hold and behold they turned Prussia Germanic... Conquered Poland and Habsburgs then got hold of what was great Moravia. Meanwhile Kiev fell and got conquered by Moscovites whom had adopted the tactics and aims of their Mongolic overlords (that rules them for a century or two). This all having a pinicle in WW2 where France and Britain would just disregard the sovereignty of Czechoslovakia, appease Hitler... Hitler expanding eastward and killing off people.... Or claiming the land because there were German colonists. So as far as East Central and Western East Europe goes.... It had indeed been in a Struggle where foreign powers and ethnicities tried to take over the region for 1500 years... Even through, historically, Slavs were extremely Hospitable even to those whom were enemies ... As even Christian Missionaries and Crusaders recorded how Hospitably Slavs were to them as individuals and did not blame them for actions of other Christians (that burned the Slavic temples).
