| Avars or Caucasian Avars are a modern people of Caucasus, mainly of Dagestan, in which they are the predominant group. |
| Moravians, Bulgars, Croato-Serbians, and Poles all sought to overthrow the Avars, but their power was not broken until Charlemagne appeared. |
| Friendly terms were maintained, however, and together they made war against the common enemy, the Avars, conquered them and finally established their own state. |
| In the third century A.D., Asiatic Huns replaced the Goths and were in turn conquered by Turkic Avars in the sixth century. |
| Beginning in the third century A.D., tribes of Goths, Huns, and Avars invaded the region. |
| They arrived on the wide plains of Hungary in 895 where they were joined by what was left of the Avars, whom Charlemagne had crushed. |
