Setting aside the migration to the Americas.

I remember reading an old Encyclopedia Britannica article many years ago that started something like: "at the beginning of the common era there were no Franks in France, no Angles in England, no Rus in Russia, etc. I think this applies for Huns in Hungary, Turks in Turkey, etc.

So, what was the biggest one or at least the one that had the most impact going forward.

Mongolians all over Asia if we are counting conquests.

The Moors into Spain and Western Europe

The Danes into England.

Mongols to the islands of Japan.

quote:

As a result of this war, there was a growing recognition in China that the Japanese were brave and violent, and the invasion of Japan was futile. In the era of the Ming Dynasty, invasion into Japan was discussed three times, but it was never carried out considering the result of this war.[53][54][55]

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.

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.
