    1. [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Fwd: History of Bohemia
    2. Aida Kraus
    3. I realized just now that there is part under 536 AD at the time, when the Slavs arrive on the middle European scene which I will translate here for you: 536 AD: A little more must be said about Samo. It is at the time where Slavic tribes push into the West, and the reason for this is that there was a little ice age in the area of Mongolia which displaced the people who lived there. This caused a movement of people from East to the West. These were mainly nomads who lived as herders and had to look for grazing lands for their animals displacing the people immediate to their Western areas, and they in turn moved towards the West, again displacing people in their way. In this way a wedge was driven by Slavic people into the Germanic area from the Baltic Sea to Bohemia and as far South as the Adriadic Sea (Mediterranean). Most of the Slavic people were slaves of the Awars. When the people from the East arrived, they mingled with the native Markomannen and Langobarden and the Slavic people declared a Frank to become their leader in order to fight against the Awars. (Ueber Samo muss etwas mehr gesagt werden, siehe hier: Hier ist nun wo sich die Slawen in den Westen schieben und das kommt daher, dass in Mongolien eine kleine Eiszeit die dortigen Bewohner vertrieben. Weil sie Nomaden waren und von Herden lebten, suchten sie sich neue Waidelaender und zogen gegen den Westen. Das verursachte die Voelkerwanderung, da die vom Osten her ziehenden Mongolen alle gegen Westen liegenden Gruppen ueberrannte, und diese wiederum weiter gegen Westen zogen. Und somit wurde ein "Keil" von den Slawen in Germanische Reich von der Ostsee bis nach Boehmen und ans Mittelmeer hineingetrieben. Die meisten Slawen kamen als Sklaven der Awaren nach Boehmen und Maehren. Dort vereinigten sie sich mit den dortigen Markomannen und Langobarden unter Samos, der ein Franke war, jedoch zu den Slawen und Markomannen zog, um die Awaren zu mehr oder weniger erfolgreich zu bekaempfen. Er liess sich als Slawischen Häuptling ernennen. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Virginia <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 8:39 PM Subject: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] History of Bohemia To: [email protected] I would like to find an accurate history on Bohemia, something from as earally as possible to the present time.
