What are human migrations and what are their causes? give examples of historical and modern population migrations.

Human migration is the mass relocation of people from one region to another. The reasons for this can be different: depletion of natural resources, hunger, war, epidemic, persecution, ethnic conflicts.

In the IV-VII centuries A.D. the largest of the migrations took place – the Great Migration of Peoples.
