The Turks into Anatolia/Asia Minor.The Turks basically supplanted the native populations of the area ....the Anatolians and Cappodocians were basically raped into nonexistence. Then the Turks moved westward taking out Constantinople and populating large swaths of the Balkans. The Turks were from Central Asia...Afghanistan, Uzbek, Tajik.

Some of the ones mentioned are good, but the most underrated is the dispersal of Austronesian groups across Southeast Asia.

Excellent information, thanks. I had kind of always lumped them in as a sort of offshoot of the Mongols, but seems like they were a different group?

Also, were they the ones behind the massacre of many Armenians? That would be a big impact.

Germanic groups into the Western Roman Empire.

The world would look very, very different if that hadn’t happened or if that had happened in a different way.

Arabs into North Africa and the Eastern Med is up there, too.

The Brits in terms of today. They are the reason whites, who are a minority on this earth, are blamed for every problem on earth.

Pretty sure it was the Indian Pakistan Muslim migration
Wonder where India would be at if it was never split up. Modern day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh is ~1.8 billion people plus it'd have the millions of people who died in partition and all of their descendants. That'd be one big-arse country.

Underrated one is the expansion of Russia eastward. What we now know as central and eastern Russia used to be nothing more than a loose confederation of mongols and central asian tribes with no real political structure that was leftover from the Mongol Empire. This occurred in the 16th and 17th centuries and allowed Russia to become the giant nation nobody really wants to frick with today.

In that they were from Central Asia, and the Khanates assimilated into the Turkic populations, with the Mongolians adopting the same religion and language. An offshoot of this Turco-Mongol tradition started the Mughal Empire, with the Turco-Mongol culture fitting into the broader Turco-Persian culture of West Asia.

You mean the Armenian Genocide? Yes. But the displacement of Anatolian peoples began much earlier.

Sea Peoples are believed to have been from Aegean area. Greece, Crete, or the various islands. It’s believed they are or became the Philistines. Some believe the Israelite tribe of Dan descended from the sea peoples. Egypt fought them off and I don’t think they left as big an impact compared to the Arabs spreading Islam, the Turks, Mongols, the barbarians into Western Europe.
