Have there ever been any major migrations that went East instead of always going West? Seems like they never went east.
>>18496338Slavs and Dorians. If you mean Germanics, the Goths took Crimea and Justinian deported the Vandals to the Persian border.
>>18496338who the fuck wants to settle in the steppes?
>>18496338>Have there ever been any major migrations that went East instead of always going West?Literally every single fucking invasion of Persia/India/China by steppeshitters. But the problem with "migrating East" was that it's home to bigass Empires and great big populations already so its less about migrating for these conquerors and more like taking over the management.If you really want a strictly West=>East narrative then Alexander's Invasions, Roman Conquests saw migrations of Westroons eastwards in an attempt to be part of the wealthy trade networks of Asia. The Crusades can also be considered a "barbarian invasion" from the West through Medieval Islamic & Byzantine Narratives.
>>18496383No I'm not taking about liberal brainwashing where attacking/empire expansion = simple migration. I mean strictly migrations of people uprooting and leaving to settle elsewhere.
Ostsiedlung and arguably the Romans expanded East

Yeah, by the Yamnaya. It even predates their migrations to the west. One migration ended up settling down near the Indus valley, and the other near the central asian montain valleys/north taklamakan. What happened to the former before the Scythians remigrated there, is harder to guess. The latter on the other hand is known to have much more longevity, thanks to the silk road; it was attested to by the greeks as bactria and the chinese as loulan and is substantiated by the existence of the tocharian language (indo-european) in the regions archaeology and basically confirmed by mummies found in the region matching more closely with modern europeans than asians. And yeah, as anon above said; Russian conquest of siberia resulted in settlement and is close enough to be considered a migration.
>>18496350The Goths were one of the few groups to settle it since the neolithic. Until the centaurs came I bet life was good there.
