Influence of Indo-European Immigrants on Early Regional Culture
The influence of Indo-European migration on early regional culture is as follows:

The migration of ancient Indo-European languages has had a far-reaching impact on the development of world history. The migration of Indo-Europeans is the invasion of advanced civilized areas by backward nomadic tribes, and plunder is their main purpose and motivation. This is the fundamental reason for the stagnation or even retrogression of productivity in the early feudal society in western Europe. But in the long run. This retrogression and stagnation is temporary. The feudal system established after the Germanic invasion is much more advanced than slavery, which will promote the development of economy and culture.

The migration of ancient Indo-European languages has also brought many positive influences to historical development and social progress. First of all, their migration was conducive to the establishment and expansion of the advanced social system at that time. After the migration, Indo-Europeans, influenced by advanced culture, quickly ended their barbarism and entered a civilized era, which developed much faster than other nationalities, which was a great progress for them.

Before the Indo-European invasion, although ancient civilizations had appeared in West Asia, South Asia and South Europe, these centers of civilization were only scattered in individual areas and were not connected. After the Indo-European invasion, the South Asian subcontinent was almost connected with Western Europe. Slavery does occupy a dominant position in the world, and slavery in Greece, Rome and other countries has reached the highest form of development.

Ancient Indo-Europeans:

The ancient Indo-Europeans were a primitive people who lived on the Ukrainian plain in eastern Ukraine and southern Russia about 6,000 years ago. They are the common ancestors of Europeans and Indians today. Relying on two big rivers, the Volga River and the Don River; Suitable climate, abundant aquatic plants and flat terrain are the main conditions for their migration.

Around 2000 BC, an Aryan of the ancient Indo-European language family crossed the Urals from the Eastern European Plain to the Afghan Plateau, and the other went south to the Punjab Plain in the Indus Valley. The other is in the opposite direction, heading west into Iran.

By the 6th century BC, after 65,438+0,000 years of continuous migration and war, Aryans had extended their territory to the whole of northern India, the Himalayas in the north, the Indies in the south, and the sea in the east and west.
