Migration period 200 - 800 600

In Eastern Europe The Great Migration Period kicked off with descent of Goths from Baltic region into Ukraine, about AD 200. They either took over or assimilated with local Slavic tribes. Goths were in turn pushed out by aggressively encroaching Huns, about 375. Goths went on to conquer Southern Europe & Huns moved to Balkans & created a Hunnic Empire which lasted for a hundred years. After splitting of Empire, some of Huns moved back north in territories of Ukraine & formed Patria Onoguria, now known as Old Great Bulgaria. In 7th century Onoguria largely defected to Khazaria – an expanding Turkic state centered in North Caucuses which controlled Eurasian steppe until 9th century.
