when did the first slavs get to eastern europe
Slavs Around the 6th century, Slavs appeared on Byzantine borders in great numbers.[16][pageÂ needed] The Byzantine records note that grass would not regrow in places where the Slavs had marched through, so great were their numbers. After a military movement even the Peloponnese and Asia Minor were reported to have Slavic settlements.[17] This southern movement has traditionally been seen as an invasive expansion.[18] By the end of the 6th century, Slavs had settled the Eastern Alps regions.
First wave of European colonization The first European colonization wave took place from the early 15th century (Portuguese conquest of Ceuta in 1415) until the early 19th-century (French invasion of Algeria in 1830), and primarily involved the European colonization of the Americas, though it also included the establishment of European colonies in India and in Maritime Southeast Asia. During this period, European interests in Africa primarily focused on the establishment of trading posts there, particularly for the African slave trade.
