Discourse On Migration

[DarkAngelBGE]

Yeah, that famous migration where the German tribes moved from the north of Europe to the middle - where the goths were attacked by the huns etc.

Anyone has any good sources about that subject or can provide me with some good information about it?

I have to give a discourse on the matter (15min length) on Thursday. Need to talk about the changes it brought about, the reasons for the migration, which parties where involved, etc.

Anyone?

Well Tim that is quite a difficult assignment you have got there, I think I can help you. Well I would suggest the following sources:

http://www.geocities.com/muntzer2/thesis.html This one looks good

http://www.rootsweb.com/~wggerman/map/germantribes.htm This one is a map

http://users.tyenet.com/kozlich/germhist.htm the section on the migrations is short but I decided to post this link anyway

http://www.cast.uark.edu/student_pubs/david_holt/ This one presents a good theroy on why the Germanic tribes moved in the first place

And lastly I have a old link lying around a online version of "The Origin and Deeds of the Goths" by Jordanes for some help in that area

*sounds of some one rumaging through thier link closet is heard*

EUREKA Here it is

Okay thanks everybody, got an A- on this. Althought the teacher where I gave the discourse has never given anyone an A- or better yet.
