Avars

The Avars are a group of people originally from Central Asia who migrated into Europe during the 6th century. They established a powerful empire in what is now Hungary and surrounding areas. Known for their skilled horsemen and warriors, the Avars played a significant role in the early medieval history of Europe, interacting with neighboring tribes and empires. They are often associated with the spread of nomadic culture in Eastern Europe. Over time, the Avar Empire declined, and they assimilated into local populations, leaving a lasting impact on the region’s culture and history.
