When is a group of fugitives large enough to be a migration of a nation (number of persons relativ to average number of persons belonging to other nations) 6. How does the are look like the migration leads to? a. vacuum of power: an empire is week or declining or some desease or war has decimated the people living in that area b. A strong army is most often able to stop the migration c. unorganized areas allow the migration to migrate through the area. d. sometimes empty areay (deserts) o Empires sometimes will accept the migrating people as allies or will employ them as troops or may settle the people as a buffer vs. other aggressors Puffer, Hilfstruppen etc. 7.
